This is an update regarding Debian support for the Linkstation Live (LS-CHL) and the Linkstation Mini (LS-WSGL): all of the changes have been integrated into Debian unstable and Debian installer should work on these devices now. However, a script will be needed to install Debian installer from the original firmware. This script for the regular Linkstation Pro/Live needs to be adapted for LS-CHL/LS-WSGL; see http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/orion5x/network-console/buffalo/lspro/config-debian for the Pro/Live script. Hopefully you can test this script and tell me of any changes that are needed.
You can find the installer image here: http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/orion5x/network-console/buffalo/ls-chl/ http://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armel/daily/orion5x/network-console/buffalo/ls-wsgl/ Please only try this if you have a serial console. For reference, the following changes were made. kernel (#590105): LS-CHL/LS-WSGL supported in 2.6.32 in squeeze, 2.6.37 in d-i and 2.6.38 in unstable. libdebian-installer (#612168): LS-CHL/LS-WSGL supported in squeeze and unstable. flash-kernel (612167): LS-CHL/LS-WSGL supported in unstable but not in squeeze (stable). oldsys-preseed (616326): same as flash-kernel. debian-installer: generate images for LS-CHL/LS-WSGL; done in unstable Note: I'm not planning to backport the flash-kernel/oldsys-preseed changes to squeeze (stable). Finally, someone needs to update the documentation on various wikis to point to the correct images. Please put in a big fat warning that people cannot just use the Pro/Live image when they don't have a Pro/Live. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
