Help pls on How to put uboot with netconsole on my ZyXEL NSA310 ?

I was able to buy a NSA310 (for 65 + 15 shipping) and planning to run squeeze on it. I successfully enabled ssh daemon and was able to login and "su" to root.

Here is my console and it is obviously using the serial interface.

/i-data/1c8331d5/public/New05061232 $cat /proc/cmdline
console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=nand_mtd:0x100000(uboot),0x80000(uboot_env),0x80000(key_store),0x80000(info),0xA00000(etc),0xA00000(kernel_1),0x2FC0000(rootfs1),0xA00000(kernel_2),0x2FC0000(rootfs2) root=/dev/nfs rw init=/init

I can "wget" from a command line and start from there. Is there a "howto" step by step? I can order an OEM nokia CA-42 or DKU-5 but I am poor in soldering skills.

Many thanks,

Tik

Then wire wrap. That's what I did.

You'll have to search around for NSA310 stuff. It is my understanding that it has a slightly different combination of components, perhaps an intel ethernet. (?)

Subtle differences should be understood before proceeding.

Hi Davy,

Thanks as usual. You helped me a lot on my Ls PRO LS250GL getting the netconsole to work. It is still running lenny on it ( I believe with your compiled image) with DNS, Samba Server and FTP. I'm about to ran out of space that is why I got this ZyXEL NSA310 at Provantage.

If it is different, Is there a way to compile my own uboot using my NSA310 which is running "BusyBox v1.1.1 (2011.07.15-11:19+0000) Built-in shell (ash)" ? Or I can use my Orion based NAS (Buffalo) to compile the uboot if I can find a source with netconsole.

Here is a part of my dmesg;

Not sure at all... the NASCentral Zyxel forum has a _lot_ of discussion going on about the 310... http://forum.nas-central.org/viewtopic.php?f=249&t=5145&sid=907581778f8b0a5c0aa3b103bcfeba31 ...
