Dear Martin, dear all, I think I have been a bit over-optimistic on my NSLU 2 in my post a few hours ago. I was very happy that the slug was actually booting and I though that all the troubles were over. However, that was not the case.
I followed closely all the instructions on Martin's page[0] and everything went well. I even managed to do an 'apt-get update' to switch to the italian servers. However, as soon as I ran 'apt-get dist- upgrade' I got a segfault while running the 'Building dependency tree' at around 6 %. I also tried to install a few packages (like sudo etc.), but 'apt-get install' segfaults always when 'Building dependency tree'. Thinking that it was a memory allocation problem I verified that my swap device was on (as a matter of fact I even added another swap file to make doubly sure things could run) and swapon -s says: Filename Type Size Used Priority /dev/sda5 partition 2097144 7012 60 /var/local/swapfile file 527992 0 -1 so I really don't even get near memory exhaustion. If apt-get doesn't work, there's hardly anything I could do with this machine, right? Can someone please tell me what's wrong? Or is it the hardware that is dying? (Note: the disk is a brand new 2.5 external HDD without external power supply: could this be the problem?)
