Re: [Soekris] powering a net5501 from a car battery
Philip, I run my 4801 and LinkSys wrt54gs directly off a battery string. The last two winters have been tough on my system. The bat voltage has go down to 10VDC and they all turn off until the sun came out. All survived except one 2 volt cell. The 4801 needed to be replugged before it started again. Nick is right about getting the battery too low, it will destroy them. Use the deep cycle ones. The only other problem I had wad the file system got corrupted on the hard drive. I am very satisfied with my Soekris experience. However a 4801 in not a 5501! Just the same company.

My question is, would it damage the Soekris? or will the Soekris just turn itself off and ignore the increasingly low input voltage. I have no intention of running the battery that low, but say I go on holiday for three weeks and the fuse blows on the battery charger. I don't mind returning to a dead battery but I don't want a damaged Soekris; they're too expensive. thanks, Philip -- William Estrada Mt Umunhum, CA, USA HTTP://64.124.13.3 ( Mt-Umunhum-Wireless.net ) ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
[Soekris] X windows on a 4801
Jed, Using X-windows on a 4801 does have some advantages. I used it to run gparted to rebuild my hard drive without losing data. I installed gparted and then started an X manager on my PC in another VT. The process is not quick but it does work. I posted this link before but in case you missed it: http://64.124.13.3/hacks/multiple_wm.html If it is not clear, please Email me and I can review it to make it more understandable. I don't think the X _server_ software would be of much use on a Seokris box, not because of horsepower, but because of lack of KVM. No reason you couldn't run X client software (e.g. xterm) though. Although it seems like HTTP[S] based interfaces are much more common these days. -Jed -- William Estrada Mt Umunhum, CA, USA HTTP://64.124.13.3 ( Mt-Umunhum-Wireless.net ) ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
Re: [Soekris] Debian install on 4801, eth0 won't work.
Jan, Ted, List,
This has been an interesting project. I needed to build a new image for
my 4801 with limited interruptions of server. That did not happen, it
would have been quicker to that the server offline and use it to rebuild
the system. The process was a learning experience and something I will
use in the future.
To start with I used this link:
http://www.linuxvillage.ca/support/soekris4801.html
It worked to a point. The drivers for the Soekris did not get installed.
I found that I needed to install x11-common to get them, that worked.
Now to the Udev stuff. Have not yet figured it out, I will post the
fix when I get it.
Another problem I am seeing is a very annoying message taht make the
serial console useless. Over and over:
tail /var/log/kern.log

I think this is be cause I am booting from a USB HDD and maybe fixable
with a kernel option?
All in all, it is mostly there.
Thanks again to all for your time.

I'm new to Debian, how do I install this driver??
William,
(Re-posting to the list as well. Can the list owner please automatically add
an appropriate Reply-To header?).
I agree with Andy, you may have been bitten by the persistent net rules (put
in place by udev and then applied from then on).
A few things to do:
1. find out which ethernet interfaces you have and which drivers are attached
to them as follows:
# ls -l /sys/class/net/eth*/device/driver
2. if, as Andy and I suspect, you can find all three of your interfaces but
with unexpected names (such as eth{345}), then you indeed have the udev
problem described above. The idea of these udev rules is to guarantee that
the names of your network interfaces will always be the same, regardless of
boot order (particularly, regardless of the order in which network device
drivers are loaded, as this is where races might occur or changes might be
made from one kernel release to the next).
Inspect the file /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules . You will find,
for each of the network interfaces that this disk image has ever seen, a
binding of the MAC address to a device name. You can either manually edit
this (so that the rule for your eth0's MAC address actually maps it to eth0
rather than to eth3 or whatever), or just delete all of the rules that are
currently wrong.
Just deleting the rules works, because those rules are automatically
generated upon boot, when the system finds a network interface with a MAC
address for which no rule exists yet.
3. if in fact you don't find any network interfaces then you may indeed have
a driver problem. Find out whether the driver exists on your system as
follows:
# find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name natsemi.ko
Also verify that it's not blacklisted:
# cd /etc/modprobe.d
# fgrep -r natsemi *
Hope this helps.
Jan

It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): Probing for PCI bus adapters... Use driver `scx200_acb' for device :00:12.0: SC1100 Bridge We will now try to load each adapter module in turn.

If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. Some chips are also accessible through the ISA I/O ports. We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports?
