This is a regression in wheezy, presumably due to newer kernel builds.
I'm not sure exactly at which version this started happening, but the
front light was static back in 2011 when I was first running squeeze
on it. I kept meaning to check /sys/class/leds, but never got around
to it.

Bug#617219: DNS-323 tests

2013-01-26 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

Hi again. I performed a full install on my C1 device and everything
worked as expected. My test install has /boot and /swap on the first HD,
and an LVM for the rest of the OS consisting of the rest of the storage
combined from the two hard disks. Everything seems to work as expected,
I was able to SSH back into the device. I also noticed the square button
light on the front flashes continuously.

I also updated to Testing without incident.

If any other system information is required, just let me know, I won't
be putting significant data on this for another week or so.

Hello,

Many thanks for the detailed steps. I had tried that previously but
didn't have time to come up with the proper generation command +
arguments. I didn't want to risk ending up with a brick :)

I tried the above from an Ubuntu 12.04 LTS host which has the same
version of dns323-firmware tools and generated a new netboot.img, then
flashed it on a C1 version DNS-323 device running stock 1.08 firmware
(as shipped), and it worked as expected. I took about 10 minutes or so
to get back SSH access and the installer showed up (I've attached a
screenshot). I followed the steps indicated here under Installation:
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/d-link/dns-323/install.html

I've attached a screenshot.

Bug#617219: DNS-323 tests

2013-01-14 Thread Fabian Rodriguez

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I have an original DNS-323 C1 (Canada) which came with firmware 1.08.

The netboot.img upload from here is always rejected as expected:
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armel/current/images/orion5x/network-console/d-link/dns-323/

I tried downgrading the firmware back to 1.05, 1.04, etc. but such
versions are always rejected. Upgrading to 1.09 or 1.10 (which is found
when going to the DNS-323-1TB version downloads) or downgrading to
1.07,1.06 worked but then uploading the revision 3 image also failed as
expected.

In other words, install the 1.03 DNS-323 firmware and try to upgrade
to the Debian installer image mentioned above. Then try the same with
1.04, etc.

As mentioned 1.05 and below can't be installed on C1 series devices.

For my own curiosity, it would also be interesting to see if the
revision 3 firmware of the installer is accepted by 1.08:

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armel/current/images/orion5x/network-console/d-link/dns-323/netboot.img
Yes, this was also tested and rejected on the C1 device I have.

Thank you in advance if you can upload the revision 4 version of the
netboot.img file.

Bug#617219: DNS-323 tests

2011-05-31 Thread Manuel Roeder

Hello Martin!

I startet the tests today and it was not possible to reinstall one of
the splitted original firmwares to the device
(loadb k and loadb r worked fine and even the CRC seems to be right but
the bootloader reboots in a loop
over and over again... ). Well I do not know why, maybe because I use
the Conceptronic version of the DNS323?
Is there some kind of firmware lock for this?

regards Manuel

Hi Manuel,

Did you have a chance to perform these tests?

* Martin Michlmayr t...@cyrius.com [2011-05-05 20:35]:
Regarding the DNS-323 firmware issue we discussed a few months ago
(that revision changed from 3 to 4): Manuel Roeder agreed to do some
tests on his B1 DNS-323.

* Manuel Roeder manuel_roe...@gmx.de [2011-05-05 12:46]:
Testing is no Problem, I even got a serial Port to check what went wrong.
Please send the images and/or link and I will give it a try.
Just to summarize the problem again: Debian (or rather,
dns323-firmware-tools) currently uses a revision 3 in the image.
However, the firmware on C1 DNS-323 machines uses a revision 4 and
rejects images with a revision of 3. The question is whether revision
4 images are accepted by the current and old DNS-323 firmware images
on A1 and B1 machines (testing one is enough since they use the same
firmware). If so, we can move our image to revision 4 and it will
work on all DNS-323 devices.

Dominic Evans found the following revisions to be used in the DNS-323
firmware:

dns323_firmware_103: 00
dns323_firmware_104: 01
dns323_firmware_105: 03
dns323_firmware_106: 04
dns323_firmware_107: 04
dns323_firmware_108: 04
dns323_firmware_109: 04

So imho it would be good to test version 1.03, 1.04, 1.05 and 1.08
(1.09 is apparently not available for B1 devices). Manuel, can you
download 1.03, 1.04, 1.05 and 1.08 from
http://www.dlink.co.uk/cs/Satellite?c=Product_Cchildpagename=DLinkEurope-GB/DLTechProductcid=1197319419183p=1197318962293packedargs=QuickLinksParentID%3D1197319419183%26locale%3D1195806691854%26packedargs%3Df9ffeaf4e83ab6d0166b8cc93b23ebbc3d83540f46ceb58f26706558f9479c4ec3df1411a95e2d40b8161bf516969212f4b253493c501653965d4b39148b4c34pagename=DLinkEurope-GB/DLWrapper
and then check if it's possible to upgrade to this firmware image:

http://people.debian.org/~tbm/tmp/dns-323/netboot.img
(This is a Debian installer image with revision 4)

In other words, install the 1.03 DNS-323 firmware and try to upgrade

http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/installer-armel/current/images/orion5x/network-console/d-link/dns-323/netboot.img

According to Dominic's, 1.08 uses rev 4 and should therefore reject
the Debian installer image but nobody has reported this problem yet
(therefore, I'm curious whether this is really the case or not).

In all cases, you just need to check if the DNS-323 firmware accepts
the Debian image. You don't actually need to run Debian installer.
Also, maybe it's a good idea to temporarily remove your hard drive so
the DNS-323 firmware won't destroy your existing Debian installation.

Thanks for your help.

I don't know.  It's possible that it doesn't work since you have a
Conceptronic.

Anyway, thanks for trying.

Bug#617219: DNS-323 tests

2011-05-29 Thread Manuel Roeder

Not recently, because I had much work to do the last weeks, sorry!
I now have holidays for two weeks and as I am at home I will have enough
time to do all tests.

I am currently writting to John Stultz because the rtc-m41t80 driver and
he already sent me a patch but that did not
change a lot so the driver problems still exists in 2.6.39 (starting
with 2.6.38) for DNS323.
