Re: [2nd try] unassigned-hostname on Lanner EM7210 (Thermaltake Muse NAS-RAID N0001LN)
Hi Arnaud, If I do that (force_ep80219), this is what I get at the end of the booting sequence (after installation is done): ... Begin: Loading essential drivers ... done. Begin: Running /scripts/init-premount ... done. Begin: Mounting root file system ... Begin: Running /scripts/local-top ... done. Begin: Waiting for root file system ... done. Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems: - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline) - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?) - Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?) - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev) ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/2fb7b89c-92f1-41f7-9e6d-94ed13601ffa does not exist. Dropping to a shell! BusyBox v1.17.1 (Debian 1:1.17.1-8) built-in shell (ash) Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off (initramfs) All in all, I reckon that the standard procedure (leading to unassigned-hostname) is the best result that I can get. Hostname and networking is all that I could notice was missing but the system is up and running. What's weird is the fact that, in that case, the kernel is flashed correctly (uname -2.6.32-5-iop32x) while, by using more advanced options, the installation halts there and/or has issues with the disk controller. I'd love to carry on doing more tests provided that you, or anybody else on the alias, are willing to send me inputs. In fact this is good learning and, correct me if I'm wrong, could potentially lead to an improved d-i. Otherwise I'll just learn to live with a machine identifying itself as Lanner EM7210 instead of whoknowswhat :) Thanks!

[2nd try] unassigned-hostname on Lanner EM7210 (Thermaltake Muse NAS-RAID N0001LN)
Hi all, Debian Installer starts just fine and the process (non-expert mode) seems to run smoothly until reboot. At that point the system is not rechable any longer, no DHCP, and the only way to access it is via the serial cable. Login works fine (users are present in the system) but other things, i/f configuration for instance, is not working. Below what I'm being prompted with at login: Debian GNU/Linux 6.0 unassigned-hostname ttyS0 unassigned-hostname login: suppressed text Password: Linux unassigned-hostname 2.6.32-5-iop32x #1 Tue Mar 8 01:49:50 UTC 2011 armv5tel The programs included with the Debian GNU/Linux system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

Is this correct or (am I remembering it correctly?) should I have been prompted with a post-installation script to finish up the system's configuration?

unassigned-hostname on Lanner EM7210 (Thermaltake Muse NAS-RAID N0001LN)
Hi all, Debian Installer starts just fine and the process (non-expert mode) seems to run smoothly until reboot. At that point the system is not rechable any longer, no DHCP, and the only way to access it is via the serial cable. Login works fine (users are present in the system) but other things, i/f configuration for instance, is not working.

Hi, after the (usual) long delay I've managed to fight my jet-lag with a good coffee and I've tested the image Arnaud provided me with :) The steps I've followed are: 1. halt the startup sequence at Redboot prompt with CTRL+C 2. *RedBoot fis load ramdisk.gz* 3. *RedBoot load -r -v -h 192.168.1.122 -b 0x01008000 -m tftp zImage_2633_iop32x_defconfig* (since Redboot comes up preconfigured with an IP address I've chosen tftp) This step ends with the following message: *Raw file loaded 0x01008000-0x01279aaf, assumed entry at 0x01008000* 4. *RedBoot exec -c console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc initrd=0xa180,8M mem=2...@0xa000 force_ep80219* At this point the startup sequence goes on pretty normal until it stops with errors (RAMDISK) eventually terminating in a kernel panic (full sequence is attached). What's the meaning of the hex addresses in the above commands? Are they hardcoded in the image or do they just point to (almost) arbitrary addresses?

Will it revert to normal after a power-cycle or do those command overwrite the flash/disk somehow? the 'load' command is safe as it loads the kernel/initrd into memory.

Please find attached the requested data. I believe I've taken the entire boot log. Also I've run a few commands to explore /proc filesystem. From what I can see from the 2 files, your nas looks very similar to the ep80219 board from intel (bootloader pci informations). From a quick look, I only see e100 device replaced with a e1000. I can't be sure about the crystal frequency (33.3MHz vs 30MHz) but that should not prevent things to boot. You can try booting a kernel with ep80219 support and looks what's happening. Unfortunately, you can't use debian iop32x kernel packages as iirc, they don't have the iq31244 option enabled. Please, note that you'll have to add 'force_ep80219' on the kernel command line. For instance : fis load ramdisk.gz redboot command to load your kernel at 0x01008000 exec -c console=ttyS0,115200 rw root=/dev/ram0 init=/linuxrc initrd=0xa180,8M mem=2...@0xa000 force_ep80219 Arnaud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: 2nd try: Thermaltake Muse NAS-RAID (N0001LN) - IOP architecture - HELP requested
Hi All, and sorry for my belated reply but a work-related trip has brought me away. 1. to Arnaud: I'll provide you (and the list) with those info ASAP. Let's hope we can get something started. Thank you! 2. to JFS: I had read Martin's pages, rather thoroughly, but still I'm wary of following those steps blindly. A good approach would be to understand what are the specs of the platform I have in my hand. I'll use your pointers are a reference though. Thanks! Please bear with me since I'm 1000's of miles away from home (and my NAS) this week :) Thanks, Carmelo On Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 6:50 PM, JF Straeten jfstrae...@scarlet.be wrote: Hi, On Mon, Feb 01, 2010 at 06:34:09PM +0100, Arnaud Patard wrote: It seems pretty similar to the Intel SS400-E... fwiw, I doubt it's a ss4000e.

2nd try: Thermaltake Muse NAS-RAID (N0001LN) - IOP architecture - HELP requested
Hi all, I've searched through the archives but I've found nothing about my LAN-based NAS (in the subject) hence I'm asking the alias... Anybody has any ideas on how to hack it to carry out a fresh install of Debian+Samba on Thermaltake Muse NAS-RAID (N0001LN)? Very simply put, it is a 4-bay box, built around the Intel IOP 80219 (@400MHz) architecture. It also features an externally accessible serial interface, one 1G Ethernet interface and 256MB RAM (+8MB flash). Additionally, although I'm unaware of the nitty-gritty stuff, it has a Redboot firmware (seen via the serial cable). The system is based on Linux (uname -m = armv5tel; uname -r = 2.6.10-iop1) and it runs software made by FalconStor (ipstord, ipstorcomm...). I'm not sure whether RAID is done in software or hardware. What I'd like to achieve is to have a Debian server, running SSH instead of Telnet (!), that I can configure to share data via SMB. Disks should be configured as RAID 1 at least.
