It seems you have tried the usual things... I'm not sure what else it
could be.  If you cannot get it to work, you could follow the manual
installation routine: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/unpack.html

 I have tried to flash both sda-2.6.18 and sda-2.6.24-1.bin and
 although  the flash is successful, the system doesn't boot

I believe those images only work if you actually have the
corresponding kernel installed on the nslu2; so if you flashed the
wrong image, the nslu2 would certainly not boot. (I should emphasize
the I believe because I'm not sure right now whether it will work if
the kernel is not installed.)

You could solder on a serial port so you can watch the boot process and 
see where it fails.

Cant boot NSLU2 after successful installation

2008-07-18 Thread Mark Thommyppillai

Hi there,

I've followed the instructions here:

http://www.cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/install.html

Everything goes pretty well until it came time to reboot.

As with most people, I get a problem of the status light being amber and 
the ethernet being green.


I can't ssh or ping the correct IP for the NSLU2.

There is some disk activity when the system boots but it then goes silent.

I've tried all the suggestions of moving deamons to different run levels 
and turning on logging (but the log file says it hasn't started logging :( )


I've also removed the hwclock check and removed and replaced the battery 
inside the NSLU2.


I have tried to flash both sda-2.6.18 and sda-2.6.24-1.bin and although 
the flash is successful, the system doesn't boot



Is there anything else I could try? I am so close!!! :(


Hoping someone can help.

Regards,

Mark.
