Re: New Computer Parts - 11 days ago
I buy these trash at eBay... Got a few Dell Optiplex 7010 motherboards, mod it (add a few jumpers, it can be used as a normal ATX board)., mod bios, add nvme support. These boards are cheap. About $12 shipped for a motherboard to US lower 48 states. You can use Dell OEM Windows 7 Pro and it will activate automatically. And then you can install Windows 10 Pro.

Re: Problem booting debian rootfs on pogoplug-pro - 5 months ago
Most likely, you did not name your root file system "rootfs". Mount it to another linux box, suppose that partition is /dev/sdb1, then do sudo tune2fs -L rootfs /dev/sdb1 sync; umount, remove usb, replug to pogopro, then try to boot pogopro again.by daviddyer - Debian

Failed to mount /dev/sdc1 as root file system. Maybe your root file system's label is NOT rootfs. It should be labeled rootfs for the system to work.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: Install Debian on old GoFlex Home - 7 months ago
I guess these kirkwood boxes uses 3.3v i/o, so you can just use a raspberry pi's serial port and connect them directly. No ca-42 cable needed. Or you can use another working kirkwood box and connect its serial port to the bad one. ( Ground-Ground, TX--RX, RX--TX)by daviddyer - Debian

No biggy. This box supports kwboot. No jtag required. Just insert some stripped wires in the three holes. https://cyanlabs.net/tutorials/recovering-a-seagate-goflex-via-serial/ https://wiki.beyondlogic.org/images/4/49/Consoleconnected.pngby daviddyer - Debian
Re: Problem overwriting ethaddr (and remedy) / Picky about USB drives? - 7 months ago
Another possible solution to non-bootable usb flash drive: put a usb hub between the usb flash drive and the device. This is from my notebook Sometimes, u-boot's usb system won't work so well, some of the usb flash drives can not be detected. Eg, sandisk 32gb usb 2.0 disk drive (Walmart cheapo) won't get detected in Ctera C200 V1's u-boot 2021 v0.3, it will showby daviddyer - uBoot
Re: Problem overwriting ethaddr (and remedy) / Picky about USB drives? - 7 months ago
Can't overwrite "ethaddr" was reported here before. Don't know why it happens. But there are solutions available: 1 change it in u-boot. 2 use a different version of fw_setenv or OS.

Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 7 months ago
Well, I think change the dts in openwrt then recompile is the best solution for this box. In this way, Bodhi's debian and the openwrt will have the same mtd definition and it will be easy to use.

Re: HowTo: openWrt on OXNAS boxes - 7 months ago
Well, openwrt put the dtb file in the kernel (like booting debian with old u-boot), and the mtd definition is in the dtb. You can modify the dts file and compile your own kernel, then combine it with the openwrt root file system, build a volume to write to the ubi file system, then adjust the u-boot parameters. The dts file is located here: ~/openwrt/target/linux/oxnas/files/arch/arm/booby daviddyer - Rescue System

Is it easy to make the onboard wireless (Dreamplug, Topkick-1281P2, etc, I guess they both use the sd8787?) work with modern debian? I use the ethernet port, but it is nice to get less errors in dmesg.by daviddyer - Debian
