[22:34]	mindbender: hi Bauldrick

[22:39]	Bauldrick: sorry………hi

[22:39]	Bauldrick: look the wiki

[22:40]	mindbender: gg

[22:40]	mindbender: Now try to load some kernel modules…

[22:40]	mindbender: is inmod, lsmod, rmmod and so on working as it should?

[22:40]	mindbender: but it looks good :)

[22:41]	Bauldrick: lsmod shows stuff

[22:41]	mindbender: just do an “modprobe nfsd”

[22:42]	Bauldrick: i’m no expert - so talk me through

[22:43]	mindbender: i am also no expert :)

[22:43]	mindbender: but thanks for trying

[22:43]	mindbender: so …

[22:43]	Bauldrick: that shos Module                 Size  Used by

[22:43]	Bauldrick: nfsd                 123096  0

[22:43]	Bauldrick: exportfs               7264  1 nfsd

[22:43]	Bauldrick: lockd                 77684  1 nfsd

[22:43]	Bauldrick: nfs_acl                5632  1 nfsd

[22:43]	Bauldrick: sunrpc               189072  3 nfsd,lockd,nfs_acl

[22:43]	Bauldrick: md5                    6592  1

[22:43]	Bauldrick: ipv6                 343620  10

[22:43]	Bauldrick: usb_storage           56740  0

[22:43]	Bauldrick: rd                     8868  1

[22:43]	mindbender: even usb storage is there? now look at the webinterface if anything isn´t workin..

[22:44]	mindbender: do you have an usb-hdd or a printer?

[22:44]	mindbender: i mean attached?

[22:45]	mindbender: then try to print or look if there is something at /mnt2/usbdisk

[22:45]	Bauldrick: i’ll just do it hang on -

[22:45]	mindbender: ….but again thx for trying :)

[22:46]	mindbender: just look if everything behaves normal….if yes we have won….

[22:46]	mindbender: besides: notice the new name of the firmware in the status screen :)

[22:47]	mindbender: of the webinterface of course..

[22:47]	bauerbob has joined

[22:47]	Bauldrick: Openlink 0.7, Base: 1.51   nice

[22:47]	mindbender: lol….its working.

[22:47]	bauerbob: for ls2?

[22:48]	mindbender: no sorry….only for ls1…..as long as there is no loader.o for mips it won`t work….

[22:48]	bauerbob: arrrrrrgh, don’t put so much pressure on me :-) (…or is there anyone else working on a loader module for mips?)

[22:48]	mindbender: hehe…

[22:49]	mindbender: i talked with two others who also said that they will look into it

[22:49]	mindbender: maybe you have luck….

[22:49]	mindbender: it isn`t much….but assembler :/

[22:50]	bauerbob: exactly :-(

[22:51]	mindbender: maybe if we all try together we could create one…i would help….but i know no mips assembler at all…

[22:51]	mindbender: but we could create a new project for that…

[22:52]	mindbender: then we will see how many guys are willing to help…..

[22:52]	bauerbob: http://chortle.ccsu.edu/AssemblyTutorial/TutorialContents.html <— here’s a nice tutorial

[22:53]	bauerbob: and i’ve also downloaded some cpu specs from the manufacturer of the cpu - there’s some assembler included in the pdfs

[22:54]	bauerbob: but my problem is: when i want to look how the loader module is programmed for ppc i will also have to learn ppc assembly

[22:54]	mindbender: i just bookmarked it again…i will look into it tommorow evening

[22:54]	mindbender: yes, absolutely :(

[22:55]	mindbender: is there something equal for ppc?

[22:55]	mindbender: alrady seearched for that?

[22:55]	bauerbob: a tut? no, i haven’t found one

[22:55]	Bauldrick: USB DETAILS > Error

[22:55]	Bauldrick: Failed to read in information.

[22:55]	Bauldrick: Please re-open setup screen.

[22:55]	Bauldrick: Back

[22:55]	mindbender: hmmm…interesting…

[22:56]	mindbender: th same happened with openlink 0.60 beta

[22:56]	mindbender: i will look into that error…

[22:56]	Bauldrick: don’t

[22:56]	mindbender: why not?

[22:56]	Bauldrick: it shows up now after loging back in

[22:56]	bauerbob: maybe i’ve got some specs for ppc assembly somewhere on my hdd, because i was once on the way to check out the ibm rs/6000 smp code in the kernel, because it is buggy for the 603e cpu, which is also a ppc one….but somehow i lost my interess in it

[22:57]	mindbender: @bauldrick: that is ven more greater ;)

[22:57]	Bauldrick: sorry - no it is still there

[22:57]	mindbender: damn :/

[22:57]	mindbender: @bauerbob….i understand…

[22:57]	Bauldrick: there was that type of prob in 0.6???

[22:58]	mindbender: yes….but i thought th updated murasaki was the reason…

[22:58]	mindbender: but bauldrick…you can try the following…

[22:58]	mindbender: you can prevent your linkstation from booting into the 2.6-kernel..

[22:59]	mindbender: then you can look if the usb-details error is also there

[22:59]	Bauldrick: ok

[23:00]	mindbender: you can do this in /etc/default/bootloader or so… i don`t know the filname exactly

[23:02]	mindbender: change NO_START to 1

[23:02]	Bauldrick: NO_START=“1″??

[23:02]	mindbender: then reboot

[23:02]	Bauldrick: ;)

[23:03]	mindbender: what was the default value? if 0 change to 1, if 1 change to 0

[23:03]	mindbender: then reboot….

[23:03]	Bauldrick: just rebooting

[23:05]	mindbender: i think we will be able to iron this error somehow out…..i don`t know what the reason is for that….but if i find it will make openlink really better…

[23:08]	mindbender: have you connected any usb stuff to your ls1?

[23:08]	Bauldrick: no - it’s fine once 2.4 is reloaded

[23:09]	mindbender: well…but i will find the problem for that..

[23:09]	Bauldrick: yes - printer in the front and a hub

[23:09]	Bauldrick: at the back

[23:09]	mindbender: a usb harddisk?

[23:10]	Bauldrick: haven’t got one - memory card but that needs work to show up?

[23:10]	mindbender: hmm….maybe th old version of murasaki is the problem…

[23:11]	mindbender: only 0.811 and 0.91 have 2.6-support…

[23:11]	Bauldrick: and on here is?

[23:11]	mindbender: and we have only 0.61…which was only made for kernel 2.4….

[23:12]	mindbender: but Bauldrick: THANK YOU FOR TRYING

[23:12]	Bauldrick: no problem

[23:12]	mindbender: i will try to create a firmware with the supplied tmpimage.tgz….

[23:12]	Bauldrick: I’ve currently got a 6GB LS running openlink 0.7!!!!!!!!!!

[23:12]	mindbender: hehe ;)

[23:13]	mindbender: but you have a beta version of course ;)

[23:13]	mindbender: it just moved from alpha to beta ;)

[23:13]	Bauldrick: honoured

[23:14]	mindbender: great guys ;) …. i will try to find the error…i will report back my success :)

[23:14]	mindbender: but now i am opening some beers ;) …..

[23:15]	Bauldrick: congrats - pat yourself on the back, and thankYOU

[23:16]	mindbender: so… i am off guys….gn8 to all…time for beer ;)
