[IAEP] os180py still not installed :(

2010-06-23 Thread Caryl Bigenho

Hi Chris, James, and All...


Thanks for the quick replies, Chris and James!


But, I'm still trying!


I did the "probe usb" command.  it returned with:


/pci/u...@f , 5/s...@3,0
/pci/u...@f , 5/w...@0,0
/pci/u...@f , 5/s...@3,0/disk
USB1 devices:
ok




So... then I typed in "copy-nand usb:\os180py.img"  and it returned:


"Can't open NAND image file"
"ok"


In the discussions Chris sent, someone suggested this:


"copy-nand u:\os180py.img"


Which returns:


"Can't open CRC file"


Someone else, using a usb stick, got it to work by typing "disk" in place of 
"usb" in the command. It didn't work for me. I get  the same "Can't open 
NAND..." reply


Now I am wondering if the file is corrupted.  The download was subject to a lot 
of stalls. It actually timed out on one stall. I did the download twice and had 
the same problem both times.  I had it continue the download after the time out.


When it does the download it seems to "choke" as it goes downloads, stalls, 
downloads, stalls etc.  There is no pattern or rhythm to the active times and 
the stalls.  The total time for the download was several hours. It was supposed 
to take about 3.


My internet connection is pretty good here in rural MT (except when a thunder 
storm causes a power outage)... it comes via radio signal to a special antenna 
on my house, then to my router.  Other downloads seem to proceed normally, so I 
don't know what the problem is with this one.


Any suggestions? Shall I do the download again?  Shall I try os140py instead? 
It stalled too. I guess I could try another usb, but this one is brand new 
(Sandisk Cruzer 4GB).

Re: [IAEP] What does "No wp tag" mean?

2010-06-23 Thread Chris Ball
Hi,

   > No wp tag

It means that disable-security has already been run once, so you don't
have to do it again.  (We might want to make it say that explicitly.)

[IAEP] What does "No wp tag" mean?

2010-06-23 Thread Caryl Bigenho

Hi Again,


OK, so I finally found time to try again to install os180py. I managed to get 
to Open Firmware (I discovered you have to just quickly type the ESC key, not 
hold it down).


Now I am unable to disable security... the next step.  I type in:


disable-security


and it reponds:


No wp tag


I googled "wp tag" but that wasn't any help!  So what is it?  What do I need to 
do?


Thanks,
Caryl (At least I'm persistent!)  ___

How big is the usb key? You'll need at least 2 gig for an overlay.
