So simple endian-ness bugs seem less likely. Complex bugs (endian or otherwise) are still possible, of course. Enjoy!

2 Disks (by label/UUID)
Hello, I was preparing to add a second harddisk to my NSLU2, and since previous messages on this list referenced a boot order problem with this, I followed the directions on the wiki (and some previous messages on this list). I have two questions: 1) Why does the troubleshooting page on the wiki say that the UUID method there is no good when that's the method suggested on this list by Martin M. et al? 2) After updating the flash, the NSLU2 failed to boot (orange LED) so I had to restore my old fstab and flash to get it booting again. Is there a step besides updating fstab, creating a new initramfs, and flashing it? I noticed that in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d there is a file named "resume" which references /dev/sda5 (which is the swap). Could this be the problem? Let me know if there's more info required. I'm running a (mostly up-to-date) lenny system. -Stuart -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
running linux 2.6.24-5 on etch/NSLU2
Is it possible to use a lenny/unstable kernel on NSLU2 with etch? armel is still changing a bit too fast for my taste and I have etch's 2.6.18 running without problems, but all my attempts to upgrade to a newer debian kernel have failed. I don't have serial console, but I do have both the builtin ixp4xx ethernet and a usb/ethernet adapter working (using the asix module). I even have my initramfs hacked so that I can ssh into the initramfs during boot over either interface if root isn't mounted for whatever reason. All that is fine under 2.6.18, but nothing seems to work with 2.6.24. Both the asix and ixp4xx_eth modules are in the initramfs, but neither interface comes up, nor does root ever get mounted. The LED stays orange. I have to reflash 2.6.18 with upslug2 to get back in. I'm using 2.6.24-5, so the kernel should have udev autoloading the ixp ethernet and it has the asix/usbnet modules. Is anyone successfully using 2.6.24 with etch? Jason -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

You can flash the installer directly from withing Debian without installing the original Thecus firmware. Just follow http://www.cyrius.com/debian/iop/n2100/deinstall.html but use the debian-installer .bin file instead of the one from Thecus. > I have a 10GB raid1 root partition and the rest are data partitions > so i would like to know if i can reinstall whilst keeping my data > safe. You can do that when you skip the guided partitioner. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
