I agree folks. Really. I've already got a black Pogoplug here doing all of that with two drives attached. I originally wanted to track down of them (the Seagate Dockstar) about a year or so earlier, when there was talk of stuffing one of the others on it, OpenWRT in fact. That also included the serial port on the device which has its pins the front. Someone else had gotten the thing to talk to a screen via one those VGA to USB translation devices as well. But for me that platform is perfect for exploring the world of running Linux on non-Intel platforms. Oh and thank you Stuart for creating this port. - Gregg C Levine gregg.drw...@gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again." ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack

Re: [ARMedslack] Seagate Dockstar device questions
> Hello! > Okay, what about them bothers you? I always think about using the machines as either 'desktops' or build machines, so anything that is of low spec doesn't interest me at all - especially when there are better machines out there. The dockstar has no RTC and only 128MB RAM. IMO if you were going to spend any money on a Kirkwood machine, buy a SheevaPlug. More costly but it's *supposed* to be developed on so it's completely open (rather than sold as an appliance for a particular application and having to be hacked) and has 512MB RAM. -- Stuart Winter Slackware ARM: www.armedslack.org ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack

Re: [ARMedslack] Seagate Dockstar device questions
The Dockstar has an identical processor ("Kirkwood") to the
SheevaPlug, which is supported.
It takes some extra effort to "hack" the bootloader on the Dockstar,
but once I had that sorted, running Slackware on my Dockstar was no
problem.

Re: [ARMedslack] Seagate Dockstar device questions
In my experience, yes. You may have to update the uboot in it so it will boot off USB device.

[ARMedslack] Error compiling kernel on raspberry pi since latest changelog update
Hello, On slackware-current I can not compile the kernel on my raspberry Pi anymore. Until and including Mon Jun 18 08:07:25 UTC 2012 changes in the slackware-current repository I recompiled the kernel several times with succes. With the changes that were made on Thu Jul 5 07:56:34 UTC 2012 in the repository I get an error at the end of the compilation: Inconsistent kallsyms data This is a bug - please report about it Try make KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 as a workaround make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1 I tried to add KALLSYMS_EXTRA_PASS=1 but with no luck.
