Re: Arch Linux on Lenovo ix2 NAS stuck at Starting kernel - 21 days ago
https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-nfs-server-and-client-on-debian/ has good instructions for setting up a Debian system to serve files via NFS. https://winsides.com/how-to-enable-services-for-nfs-in-windows-11/ is one guide for setting up Windows 11 to use an NFS file share.by rayknight - Debian
Re: OpenWrt One - 21 days ago
They are already planning for the OpenWrt Two which will have improved features. See https://openwrt.org/voting/2025-02-12-openwrt-two where the vote was approved. Based on timeline of OpenWrt One I'd expect to see this in perhaps October or November.by rayknight - Off-Topic
Re: Arch Linux on Lenovo ix2 NAS stuck at Starting kernel - 22 days ago
Jan is there a particular reason why you need to use Samba? You'll get much better performance if you use NFSv4 to serve files than using Samba. Even Windows should be able to mount an NFSv4 share.by rayknight - Debian

Some of the symptoms sound like they may be power related. If you have another 12V/5A power adapter available you should try using a different power supply to see if it improves your situation. Rayby rayknight - uBoot

Re: NAS WD EXT2ultra brické - 2 months ago
What parameters did you use for your Putty connection? It appears that you are using the wrong baud rate. Click on the Connection category and then the Serial subcategory. Set the Speed (baud) to 115200. Set the Data bits to 8. Ensure that “None” is selected for both Parity and Flow control. You should then get readable output.by rayknight - uBoot

Re: Zyxel NAS542 running with other OS? - 5 months ago
Unfortunately the NXP LS1024A is a re-labled Mindspeed Comcerto 2000 SoC. After NXP acquired the chip they re-labeled and sold it as part of their Layerscape series. However it appears that they never mainlined Linux kernel support for this particular processor and all available source appears to be stuck at the 3.2 level.

Re: Another ARM based HP Thin Client - 6 months ago
There has been a DTS file available in mainstream linux since sometime before 4.19.x. So apparently someone has successfully used it. Current longterm kernel has https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/arch/arm/boot/dts/ti/omap/dm8148-t410.dts?h=v6.6.57.

Re: Factory restore Dockstar - Help needed - 8 months ago
The factory firmware is extremely obsolete and contains multiple vulnerabilities. If you desire something that can operate entirely from the NAND flash like the original firmware then I would recommend OpenWrt.

Re: Time is lagging substantially on Netgear ReadyNAS RN102 and RN104 - 10 months ago
The earliest source code download for the RN102/RN104/2120 6.2.5 seems to be based on buildroot 2014.08 and uses a recipe for building u-boot using a tar file for U-Boot-2014.07. The latest source code 6.10.9 (6.10.10 link actually downloads 6.10.9) uses buildroot 2015.11 and a recipe for building u-boot using a tar file for U-Boot-2015.10. Neither of these matches the U-Boot in my example whicby rayknight - Debian
