Pogoplug with u-boot 2010.09 - Wheezy doesn't boot

2015-01-06 Thread Rainer H. Rauschenberg
Hello,

I upgraded my pink Pogoplug to Wheezy, which didn't cause any major 
problems, but ...

After apt-get upgrade reboot was fine, but after apt-get dist-upgrade 
it didn't come up after the reboot.

Then a vague memory came up my mind ... 
http://www.cyrius.com/journal/debian/wheezy-upgrade.tbm -- may this be the 
problem?

U-boot says (netconsole):

... but I can't even ping it.

It starts correctly when I start from the image I took before upgrading. 
Unfortunately I forgot the root-password of the pogoplug-firmware (which 
still has ssh running), so I'm not sure if simply running 
http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/ in the wrong environment (debian 
instead of original pogoplug firmware) is a good idea.

What is the recommended way for upgrading u-boot (if this is likely to be 
the reason for the failure)? I can't find Pogoplug on 
http://cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/uboot-upgrade/ .

Thanks in advance

slug with lenny in flash and wheezy on filesystem

2015-01-01 Thread Rainer H. Rauschenberg
Hello,

I own and use several Slugs (NSLU2). One of them (my main fileserver) 
still ran on Lenny until 3 days ago when the USB-stick finally died 
(almost died). I had a replacement prepared more than a year ago with 
Squeeze, but didnt use it after some initial problems. So I upgraded the 
replacement to Wheezy (which didn't cause any major problems, only took 
some hours). Then I thought it would be nice to use a copy of the 
USB-stick of this Wheezy-installation to reanimate the system with Lenny 
in flash (and do a flash-kernel when it lets me ssh in).

Problem is: The Lenny-kernel from flash doesn't load the ethernet driver 
from the Wheezy USB-stick; logs are written, so I can see that the 
filesystem is mounted ok, only ethernet is missing.

My question: Does it seem like a good idea to place a line with 
flash-kernel into /etc/rc.local ? Once this happened I would shut down 
the system (power-button of the Slug, redefined to shutdown in Lenny, 
still works), edit /etc/rc.local and delete flash-kernel, after that the 
system should com up normally (shouldn't it?).

Thanks in advance for any useful comments

Rainer

Even if you haven't reconfigured the power-button you can push it and wait 
until the slug reboots, then remove power (the first few seconds it should 
only read filesystems, if any).

You can read (and write to) the filesystem of your slug when you pull out 
the usb-stick where you installed debian (after shutdown ...) and mount it 
on a pc with linux (a live-system or a virtual machine will also do).

But without knowing what exactly you did before it will not be easy to get 
an idea how to repair.

You have to use ssh to access the slug. From Windows use PuTTY. When you

 This only happens when the Debian installer is loaded (I tried stable
