Re: need help in installing debian on p21 - Today

P21 is usually Oxnas, and has different installation procedure. To make sure that you have Oxnas version look at dmesg output (the first few lines shows the machine type). If it is V2 then all you need is to either rerun the installation for Debian. If it is Oxnas then see here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,6336

I took a peak at the specs, some model has both master and slave mode. But still entirely not sure how it works :) does it work it just like a USB Bluetooth dongle?

Re: PogoPlug Mobile SD Boot Troubles - 5 days ago

sosuke, You could execute uBoot envs in netconsole and see what happen. Execute this mmc boot command in 4 steps: mmc_bootcmd=mmc init; mmc init; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x00800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load mmc 0:1 0x01100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi So stop uBoot at netconsole, and do these 4 commands consecutively. If you have get error with mmc_ini

@chessplayer, Unfortunately I can't find the individual patch for NSA320! there is a consolidated patch for Arch (by moonman) which has NSA320: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/linux-kirkwood/archlinuxarm.patch But it will take some works to extract it.

Re: iConnect not boots from Stick when DVB-C Stick plugged in - 6 days ago

pr0, You're running stock uBoot, and this version is very limited in what you can do with uBoot envs. If you are comfortable with flashing new uBoot using a manual procedure (only recommended for more experienced users and with serial console for recovery purpose), then check out this thread, starting here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,6624,6959#msg-6959 and instructions here: http://

Re: PogoPlug Mobile SD Boot Troubles - 7 days ago

sosuke, Looking back at Davy's thread: The rootfs is packaged as an ext3 image (kirkwood-debian_image.img) so you'll have to mount with the loop option, and cp -a the contents onto a preformatted sda1 partition. Did you do this to create the rootfs stick? note that the rootfs image is ext3. So your uBoot env for rootfs type should be ext3. Usually it's OK for booting ext3 even if the env

SiruS, I think you probably solved this with this solution! we will see if the error repeat. But looking at the explanation for memory tuning at openSUSE site, it is very specific how this number would help to eliminate page allocation failure error. Yeah, LOL at 64M :)) we don't have that much to spare :)

Re: Best way to revive my Pogoplug E02? - 9 days ago

ian, How long have you waited before trying to log in through ssh? which file system is on your USB, ext2 or ext3? If it's ext2, then take the stick to a different Linux box and run e2fsck to check error. If it ext3 then wait for a few minutes to see if it was recovering from error.

Re: U-Boot for Device-Tree Kernel - 9 days ago

Of course you're right! I turned on debug for both netconsole and hush parser. Hush parser works with no problem. Netconsole was the problem since it echos back the incompeted command string before hush takes it. The strange thing is if I turned on netconsole debug option, then the command was echo back OK (no dropped 2nd char). But still it won't boot with netconsole.

Re: GoFlex NET: SATA disk not visible - 9 days ago

shv, I see now. I agree that if you're booting with a power USB hub only and uBoot shows "EHCI timed out" error, then it sounds like uBoot problem. That's what I've learned also, people reported this problem quite often with USB hub. It might be some settings need to be adjusted in uBoot like you're mentioned. I've compiled a GoFlex Net uBoot 2013.01 for FDT, and it boots both typ

Re: Linux Kernel 3.6.11 Kirkwood package (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 9 days ago

syong, No effect of the error. Everything works normally. It occured while rsync was coppying 11GB file over wire. The plug that showed error was the source plug, the destination plug runs identical kernel with HDD swap, and showed no error.

Re: Linux Kernel 3.6.11 Kirkwood package (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 10 days ago

Syong, Right now, I'm seeing a similar error (rsync other ethernet related) you got. This is in my plug that has USB swap. Not on another plug with only HDD swap. And both are being used heavily as NAS. I think I will try to use another ext3 USB for swap to see if I can isolate this. And then perhaps kernel 3.8.x. To see if this error is just with ethernet activity.

Re: GoFlex NET: SATA disk not visible - 10 days ago

To ensure SATA booting while USB drives are connected: 1. Set the label of the HDD drive to "rootfs" (assuming the HDD was assigned sda1) # tune2fs -L rootfs /dev/sda1 2. Change usb_init to reset the rootfs to use label # fw_setenv usb_init "run usb_scan; setenv usb_root LABEL=rootfs" 3. Also ensure that no USB drives have roofts labeled as "rootfs". If an

Re: U-Boot w/ MMC/SD-card booting for Pogoplug Series 4 - 13 days ago

uBoot is on mtd0. The difference in instructions is because they are different versions of uBoot builds (the 1st one is Arch Linux ARM version of uBoot). If you run this command: cat /proc/mtd you will see the list of mtd partitions that your current installation has. And when look at your dmesg, the mtdparts are listed there. So the bottom line is if you want install Davy's version, these c

Re: Linux Kernel 3.6.11 Kirkwood package (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 14 days ago

Syong, I think TCPv6 is just a red herring :) are you using swap on USB? I've seen this error on my plug with USB swap file. Once I've switched to a HDD swap file I have not seen the error again. IMO, it's OK to have swap file on USB as precaution, if you don't expect to swap at all. However, if you use your plug as a NAS and a swap file/partition on USB, I think eventually you will see this.
