Restamp, Thanks for the clarification. I will search for this magical cable you speak of. I would rather go directly to the serial port on the dockstar (did not know it had one) anyways. Again, thanks. ~Jussi~by jussi - uBoot
bodhi, Yes I have a WAP router running DD-WRT and all the addresses are DHCP addresses. Ubuntu tells me via the network settings window that it has 192.168.1.181 with a subnet of 255.255.255.0 (I can double check in the router to see if in fact that is the address that was given to the desktop.) Should I configure IP addresses outside of DHCP? (Wouldn't think that would be an issue)by jussi - uBoot
Hello Everyone, I wanted to know if netconsole can be used via USB to grab a boot log off of a DockStar? Reason being is that I'm having issues with getting netconsole to work via eithernet. If so, what environment commands do I need to give uBoot and what commands does netconsole need to listen via USB? Any other ports or configuration suggestions that might work here would be great!by jussi - uBoot
Bodhi, Yes, my issue all along has been with nc rather than Ubuntu. For whatever reason nc will not accept any other command but: nc -u 192.168.1.142 6666 (doesn't get bootlog by the way, but at least it trys to listen) Anything else it just spits back the command switch list. (no error) short list of what switches I've tried: nc -l -u -p 6666 nc -p 6666 nc -l -p 666by jussi - uBoot
Bodhi, Yes, I would love to see what's going on during boot but: I've been working on getting netconsole to work under win 7 64-bit for 4 days now! I've tried using Ubuntu, but having never heard of Ubuntu until 2 days ago, my attempts to figure it out are slow going. Almost at the point that I would rather pay someone to get the bloody thing to work. LOL! ~Jussi~by jussi - uBoot
Bodhi, I will try that thanks. Should I assume that because uBoot is having an issue with the USB device it is normal for uBoot to not boot the default system? Hence why the LED goes out and it turns into a paperweight when the USB stick is in? Thanks again for all your input... ~Jussi~by jussi - uBoot
Bodhi, I followed the instructions on http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/ As there is no additional instructions on that page or the main instructions that I am following on: http://wiki.daviddarts.com/PirateBox_DIY_Plug_Computer My understanding was that only uBoot was needed to be installed on the dockstar to allow USB boot. Nowhere in anything that I have read, says anythby jussi - uBoot
Yes, that's the thing uBoot tells me: Pogoplug:/tmp$ ./install_uboot_mtd0.sh Connecting to jeff.doozan.com (69.163.187.226:80) valid-uboot.md5 100% |*******************************| 756 --:--:-- ETA ## Valid uBoot detected: ## The newest uBoot is already installed on mtd0. and I get Pogoplug:/$ uname -r 2.6.22.18 What I don't understand is if uBoot is inby jussi - uBoot
Hello Everyone, I'm attempting to build a piratebox uisng a dockstar to run the chat feature. I have built another piratebox without shout using just a TP-Link with no problems. I have had no luck and nothing but issues having followed the instructions to load uBoot. I believe that I have installed it correctly but when I try to boot via USB (Different issue to deal with) the status lightby jussi - uBoot
