About this kernel option, can someone provide me some details for nslu2-debian how to do that, and is it necessary, or is it enough to do the update-initramfs -u and after that the flash-kernel command ?
I tried the /dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx thing, and together with that, i started with both drives (usb-stick & harddrive) attached, All went well till the reboot ... It just won't work with the external harddrive connected at boottime ... The difference is, that i can unplug it and reboot the nslu2 and afterwards re-attach it, in this manner, it boots up fine, but this can't be the right thing to keep doing in the future ... Maybe it was a bit too much in my first post, so i'm gonna ask it again specifically, does someone have experience in cloning a usb-flash stick with programs like ghost or acronis, and put such an image back ?? I tried it, and it doesn't work, although I can browse the contents of the ghost file perfectly ... Or is it maybe a problem with the .bin file that I flashed to the slug ?? I made such a .bin file with the cat /dev/mtdblock* > backup.bin command ... Although both things should be o.k., the slug won't boot up after flashing the .bin file back to the slug & the ghost file to the memory stick ! A quick question, I've put my swapfile on my external harddrive, but after 10 minutes of inactivity this drive goes into standby, will this give problems to the slug using the swapfile ? As there will be a short delay for the drive to boot-up ? And I don't wont to wear down my flashdrive, by repeatedly writing to it ... If this swapfile on the harddrive procedure won't work in my case, I guess there's nothing left than fatten the slug, isn't it ???
