guenter:
Sorry to here that my build didn't work for you. It's really strange as it should.
Please, let's try something here, install it to your usb driver's sda1 and make swap partition sda2.
Then boot your slug with openslug-3.10-beta installed and possibly update it WITHOUT inserting your harddisk yet.
My build should include all necessary modules for openslug-3.10-beta, you might also want to check with md5sum if
your openslug-3.10-beta differs with mine (there's openslug-3.10-beta which I used on my website too).
Okay, ssh to your slug and connect harddisk to lower USB slot. Mount your /dev/sda1 to /media/sda1 for e.g.
| Code: |
#mount -o bind /proc /media/sda1/proc
#mount -o bind /dev /media/sda1/dev
#mount -o bind /sys /media/sda1/sys
#mount -o bind / /media/sda1/initrd
#chroot /media/sda1 /bin/bash
|
Now you should have a working gentooslug chroot..
Let's first initialize that swap which wasn't initialized according to your logs..
| Code: |
#mkswap /dev/sda2
#swapon /dev/sda2
#cat /proc/swaps
|
Second, let's check that modules are depmodded..
| Code: |
#depmod -ae
#modules-update
|
If this didn't work out, you might wanna check that ixp400_eth has been aliased to eth0 before running modules-update.
---
Have any one else who downloaded my build had this problem?
I haven't actually unpacked from gentooslug.tar.bz2 yet since I'm doing update where everything is compiled with glibc-2.4-r3 and gcc-4.1.1-r1, but I have several times re-flashed and used turnup to continue where I was left, so I should had replicated this error with steps I've made as it's only a tarball of same system.. |

Hi,
I have the same problem like guenter. The network doesn't want to start. Think there is a problem in this build. I'm running the first one fine. Hope you can fix this. Would be great.
Thanks

I tried it in different ways and no success.
I did do all the suggestions in your post about chroot and modulupdate. I still could not get the network working. I downladed your openslug and also no success.
Did you try to untar your package yet?

That's strange. Maybe there's something wrong with it. I can't test it now.
But There will be new version with improvements very soon if you hold on..?

There's new version coming in approx. 1 week with a update to gcc 4.1.1-r1, older gcc has been removed, missing modules for fuse and spca5xx/gspcav1 have been included (for openslug-3.10-beta) and everything compiled with gcc 4.1.1-r1.. |

Lots of great stuff going on here! That's excellent to see.
Has anybody successfully gotten device-mapper/LVM to work in their slug yet? I'd even be happy with EVMS (although I think that needs glibc). I really want to put my LVM data drives on my slug. |

Okay. New update to gentooslug is now being packed and should be downloadable after next 30 minutes from time since write of this message, it's the time which it takes to do a tarball. Pages are already upgraded to announce about 3rd edition and there's also announcement of 4th edition, but file is currently being created, so please don't download it until 30 minutes has passed from this message..
Yeah.. And page where it's located is http://www.roadrunner.cx/gentooslug
Due to legal issues, you are required to agree with Intel's license before you can download file.
This shouldn't be problem and on next gentooslug version we should be able to get rid of this.. |

Hi,
You should fix the download link. It is linked to a file called gentooslug.tar.bz but I think it should be linked to a file like gentooslug.tar.bz2  I hope this edition fixes the network problem. Thanks for your work!

I hope so too, I can't see what is the problem with earlier version. When I re-compiled stuff with gcc4, I got a system halt, during that some files corrupted and I decided that it was better to restore a backup that I made couple of packages before it happened, so, I erased my sda1 with mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sda1 command and then unpacked file similar to this one and it worked just fine. So everything should be okay as there are no significant changes between these two tarballs.
But if you experience problems, please report them to me, I get a email report when someone writes to this thread, so I should be able to start fixing this right away.
Download link is not fixed. Thanks for the report.
Also I thought that I wouldn't had released this version at all, since there's a new version of slugos coming which is much better than earlier (although, earlier version is great too, as it allows us to run gentoo;) But as I remembered that I promised to release and a fix to earlierly mentioned problem, I was kinda forced to do this.
There's a bug in glibc-2.4, 2 functions don't work as it's broken for arm, this will be fixed in 2.5, but as you maybe notice, glibc-2.5 is masked for gentooslug. It's for a reason. You WILL lost network connectivity for almost all applications with glibc 2.5, do not take it in use if you aren't going to develop this.
IF glibc-2.5 will be fixed 'till release of next slugos, I will include upgrade to it and then finally leave this project alone for some time as I was supposed to do already when I made my first release, part of openslug dev-team is fighting with this problem trying to solve the problem and make a patch, which propably isn't going to be part of gentoo's ebuild for glibc, but if there will be patch fixing this, I will make a ebuild for it in included portage-overlay.
Oh, some more information, glibc-2.5 seems not to be broken for all arm machinery, some people have informed that they have it working on pocketpc.. Although, some network functionality exists (all busyboxes applets worked, but for e.g. dropbear, openssh and wget didn't) so this information might be false if it hasn't been examined carefully enough..
Now thank you and enjoy. And please, if someone is about to host, remember that license on my page is A MUST to be agreed before allowing downloads. Or intel WILL find you and prosecute you.. That would make difficulties for whole nslu2-linux.org's dev teams and propably intel no longer wouldn't let these source files to be downloaded from their site because of abuse, so, it's not so hard, you can copy my page if you want  |

This is really strange. My NSLU2 seems to work just fine if I do mkfs.ext3 -j /dev/sda1 and then untar file to there.. |

I am also seeing the same problem here. I was trying to track down what is going on, but without success. My OpenSlug (OpenSlug-3.10-beta-firmware.zip) boots nicely without the hard drive and I can ssh to it. Still the network does not work when asking it to boot the gentoo root at /dev/sda1. Precisely the same messages as above.
I have fixed the swap problem by recreating the partition (mkswap) on slug under OpenSlug. The openslug kernel was unable to mount the version created on Gentoo x86, but it seems to succeed now.
Debuging this is difficult for me as I do not have the serial interface, so I can only read what was saved on the drive when network does not work. It seems that all the modules are loaded. The output of lsmod after the boot process is over is:
| Code: |
Module Size Used by
ixp400_eth 24156 0
ixp400 949188 1 ixp400_eth
af_packet 18376 0
ext3 109864 2
jbd 45940 1 ext3
mbcache 5540 1 ext3
|
(I might have added some modules in search for the solution).
Still the only interface is lo.
EDIT: Added /var/log/messages for completeness:

I have made a small progress in debugging the network interface problem. I discovered that one should use the "-a" option with ifconfig to see all the available interfaces. This gives way more interesting results on my slug with jakes image:
| Code: |
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:14:BF:6C:0F:E4
BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:256
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
|
So it seems that by some magic the interface gets mapped to eth2. could it be because I added it to modules.autoload.d when searching for a solution to the problem? It is weird because the messages in /var/log/messages (see above) definitely talk about *ethernet 0*.
I tried using the rename trick in /etc/conf.d/net to solve the problem temporarily but it does not seem to help:
So I have tried adding net.eth2 to the default runlevel and renamed the SLUG config options in /etc/conf.d/net from containing eth0 to eth2. With this I can see that the machine goes on the network and the router assigns it an IP address. I am still not able to ssh (the connection is refused) and nmap reports that all ports on this host are closed. |

there seems to be an error in /etc/init.d/nslu2init
I do see an interface a eth2 when I do ifconfig -a

Thanks. That's probably very helpful. I will look into it myself too. I never had thought that I would read someones booting log with such interest It is nearly like my own, except that I can't read mine  |

|
This is the relevant fragment:
| Code: | /sbin/depmod -a
/sbin/modprobe ixp400
/usr/bin/mknod /dev/ixNpe c 241 0
cat /lib/firmware/IxNpeMicrocode.dat > /dev/ixNpe
modprobe ixp400_eth
|
I tried to run this manually in a chrooted evironment, and, as in your log, it is the line where firmware is uploaded to ixp, where it breakes. I get an error that the device does not exist. It could be the reason for our problems, or may be not. I am not really sure.
EDIT: I have commented out this fragment and I can't see any difference in behaviour (still eth2 exists, no new error messages in /var/log/messages). I also tried with soft reboot from openslug, which theoretically could mean that uploading IxNpeMicrocode.dat firmware is not necessary (assuming that firmware survives a soft reboot).
EDIT: I have also checked what ifconfig -a produces with Openslug rootfs (to rule out the hypothesis that eth2 is a bogus interface that always exists on slug). However on openslug ifconfig only returns lo and eth0.
Is it normal that one uses mknod on a udev machine? I am trying to investigate how this is done in OpenSlug, but I could not even find IxNpeMicrocode.dat on the OpenSlug file system. Jake, where did you get it from?

Hi,
I'm having the same problem as above....seems eth0 isn't brought up as it should be because the ixp400 device (in /dev) can't be found after its been created. This is a shame because I've just bought an NSLU2 with Gentoo/SLUG in mind...
Also, where is the "openslug-3.1-beta.bin" on jake1981's website that he mentions?

Don't be so pesimistic. I am sure that with so many of us seeing the same problem we can get it sorted out soon. I am also eager to push forward my slug project (a music server).
PS. I also can't see the link to openslug on Jake's website. |

Sorry! 
I've tried copying across the kernel modules from the openslug-3.10-beta firmware but the end result is the same, no network device.

I have actually also tried this, with the same effect |

Does anyone have a local mirror of the previous version of Gentoo/SLUG to see what's changed between releases?
PS: Right now I'm building Gentoo/SLUG from the stage3 as per the Wiki instructions.
Update: OpenSLUG keeps re-mounting my external HDD in ro mode as I'm compiling stuff....
Update/2: Seems like emerging distcc within the chroot environment causes an I/O error, everything else compiles fine
| Code: |
Adding 1004052k swap on /dev/sda2. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:1004052k
sd 1:0:0:0: Device not ready.
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 227519
Aborting journal on device sda1.

EXT3-fs error (device sda1) in ext3_create: IO failure
ext3_abort called.
EXT3-fs error (device sda1): ext3_journal_start_sb: Detected aborted journal
Remounting filesystem read-only |

I am trying to debug what the problem is. Ineed it would be good to get hold of the previous image made by Jake to check what have changed and whether it would work for me. Jake, or anybody else, do you still have it to share?
Am I right that OpenSlug only mounts the rootfs and then turns over to inittab in /etc/ of the new root partition? So the whole userspace booting process is controlled by Gentoo here, is not it?
Does anybody know how OpenSlug deals with the problem of loading firmware into ixp? (the thing that breakes in nslug2init).
I can't see when it is done in a regular OpenSlug boot process. |

I was put off by the old stage image (was it 2005?) and that it is not glibc based (is it?). But I will watch your success. I hope it can still upgrade to current portage. Ultimately I also want to put my own kernel on slug as I badly need ALSA to run on it.

As for the build from the stage3 as suggested by the Wiki, as soon as I realised that it was uclibc based (unfortunately abut 3 hours into compiling...) I canned it as I also need glibc to build certain packages.
Yes, as far as I know OpenSLUG will just boot its own kernel and then pivot into the rootfs given to it using the "turnup" command. The whole init and userspace processes are then controlled by Gentoo.
I managed to speak to jake1981 on MSN last night and he wasn't sure how OpenSLUG deals with the problem of uploading the firmware into the IXP's ethernet controller, he seems to think that its possibly somehow integrated into the module although I can't see any differences between both modules. The OpenSLUG devs haven't answered this question either...
I wonder if the firmware (.dat) file has changed between releases of Gentoo/SLUG? Although the error message isn't very clear, I wonder if the build of udev in this new release has something to do with it? I know I'm just firing things up into the sky but it could be a number of things.
Then again, jake1981 said he reflashed his NSLU2 with OpenSLUG/3.10-beta and it boots the new release of Gentoo/SLUG without any complaints at all.
Just as a side note, have you got one of the original NSLU2 (clocked at 133MHz) or the newer models which are already factory de-underclocked (@ 266MHz) ?
