Re: sheevaplug: detect disks failure

So I've gone through the manual installation and it works fine. I really don't know what is the problem with the automatic installer, but never mind, you can install it manually in 15 minutes. http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html Then I upgrade to 2.6.34 that is available on sheeva-with-linux.com, it's working now. Hope this help.

* Christoph A. cas...@gmail.com [2010-07-06 23:59]: I'm trying to install debian (stable or testing) on a sheevaplug, but both fail to detect the 'disk' - see attachment. Is there a way around that problem? There are two major bugs right now: http://bugs.debian.org/587570 http://bugs.debian.org/586404 One results in the error message about the disk not being detected. But simply ignore this message and choose continue with no disk drive. Then go into the partitioner and you'll see the disk. The other bug is that some screens will be _very_ slow, i.e. delays of up to 3 minutes. But apart of these issues, the installation should work fine. You just have to be patient. I'll add a note to my web page. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Step 6, or how to boot into single user mode on a nslu2
I have a couple of slugs both running debian arm and am now very much aware of the fact that squeeze has dropped arm from the distributions in favor of armel. The only migration procedure that I have discovered so far is the one on the ArmEabiHowto, e.g. the section Migrating arm installation to arm EABI installation. Althought the procedure is more of a re-install approach, which is okay I suppose, the rough point in the procedure is step 6 where it says: 6 boot into single user mode and make sure there is no processess running So far, I not found a clear description of that step. I have found descritpions for the LEDs indicating single user mode, and I've found for bsd systems an rc file setting to force single user mode, but nothing straightforward for debian (and possibly linux) systems. I see where I can muck around with the boot parameters, however I also see many places where my experimentation might go afoul. Invariably I do recover from my nslu2s becoming non-communicative however it also invariably does cost me some time and downtime. So could someone elaborate on step 6 for myself and others, possibly here and on the wiki. (Maybe making the phrase boot into single user mode a hotlink to a procedure to do such a thing.) thanks to all who help keep these things going, -jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
