haven anyone manage to get metalog working on the NSLU2, i get the daemon started but it does not log anything, no errors, nothing ... syslog-ng was uninstalled during last week emerge -uDvN world since it was not suported any more (that version).


Metalog seems to be working properly here, at least now (see paste below)

Could anyone suggest what might be the cause of the problem with this....

On rebooting it only gets to user space boot and hangs with a flashing amber light. I have to pull the power then and reboot to slugOS-4.8. The log-file (metalog saving everything, see below) shows that the module for the network device is being bought up fine (lines 136, 143 and 144), but then for some reason the init script doesn't start (lines 146 and 147) as a consequence no sshd (line 147) is started and udhcpcd doesn't get an IP address as it complains about the interface not being ready (see line 150).

Is there any special configuration required for /etc/udhcpd.conf ? Mine's currently the default.

Feel soo close now!

Cheers,

Okay, I'm pretty sure udhcpc isn't configured properly.

I played around with /etc/conf.d/net a bit and now have the following reported by metalog...

Code:

Apr  2 07:11:31 [rc-scripts] Error loading key mappings
Apr  2 07:11:33 [rc-scripts] Failed to set user font
Apr  2 07:11:43 [init] Entering runlevel: 3

Apr  2 07:12:07 [udhcpc] Sending discover...
                - Last output repeated 2 times -
Apr  2 07:12:15 [udhcpc] No lease, failing.
Apr  2 07:12:18 [rc-scripts] ERROR:  cannot start netmount as net.eth0 could not start
Apr  2 07:12:19 [rc-scripts] ERROR:  cannot start sshd as net.eth0 could not start
Apr  2 07:12:21 [udhcpd] udhcpd (v0.9.9-pre) started
Apr  2 07:12:21 [udhcpd] SIOCGIFADDR failed, is the interface up and configured?: Cannot assign requested address
Apr  2 07:12:23 [cron] (CRON) STARTUP (V5.0)

Apr  2 07:20:01 [cron] (root) CMD (test -x /usr/sbin/run-crons && /usr/sbin/run-crons )


I don't think I have my /etc/conf.d/net set up correctly because of the error at 07:12:07, and the fact that udhcpc fails to get a lease and SIOCCGIFADDR fails.


/etc/conf.d/net:

preup() {
        /sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether "$(/bin/grep '^hw_addr=' /initrd/etc/default/sysconf | /usr/bin/cut -d '-'-f 2)"
        return 0
}
modules_eth0=( "udhcpc" )


The preup() stuff is to sort out the MAC address as per the the wiki, whilst the modules_eth0 line is as per the Discussion page on the wiki.

I've had a read of HowTo : Get DHCP Working but it seems geared towards the SlugOS install.

From what I can gather the NSLU2 doesn't like having the IP address set to 0.0.0.0. Under the chrooted Gentoo install this occurs in the following scripts...

grep '0\.0' /usr/share/udhcpc/default.*:

$ grep '0\.0' *
default.bound:  while /sbin/route del default gw 0.0.0.0 dev $interface
default.deconfig:/sbin/ifconfig $interface 0.0.0.0
default.renew:  while /sbin/route del default gw 0.0.0.0 dev $interface


So, I could change this to the IP address the NSLU2 is statically assigned by my router. However, I don't think I need to change all of them, as I think I need to configure udhcpc to call certain scripts in /etc/conf.d/net but I'm not sure which ones and in which order.

Any advice would be most appreciated. (Example configs even better :wink: )

Cheers,

slack

Joy of joys :D

I've finally got it working :D :D :D

The "trick" was to not bother with the preup() stuff mentioned in the Wiki.

Found the answer in this thread and a better description on the NSLU2 wiki (basically SlugOS etc. now handle the MAC address better/correctly).

I'm sooo happy now, all up and running and 750Gb network storage :D :D

Just need to setup up NFS and a few other things and I'll be like five Mancunians in a filing cabinet............SORTED!!!!
