In my hurry to get Debian on to my Sheevaplug, I stupidly said "yes" to changing the envs config when attempting to upgrade U-boot to cope with SD cards (as per the bottom of the page at www.cyrius.com). I've reflashed U-boot using the Sheevaplug alpha 6 installer - I have a working U-boot but

ARM listed as supported in Lenny

2009-02-15 Thread Andrew M.A. Cater
Just took a very quick look - the lenny release pages on http://debian.org suggest that ARM is supported in Lenny. Following the link, it takes you back to 4.0r7 - which is correct for Etch. Any chance of a quick edit to the front page - I'm sure it was just an oversight. Andy -- To UNSU

Differences in Debian arm versions for NSLU - homework for LUG talk

I appreciate this is cheeky :) I've to prepare a talk for my local LUG for Tuesday next. I've got a couple of NSLU2's here - I've installed OpenSlug and Debian armel a few times on Slugs before. I've read the nslu2-linux.org website a few times and looked briefly at the Debonaras pages. Can any

Martin, I've just flashed a Slug with the new 2.6.18-2-ixp400 with the new free Ethernet drivers. The upgrade process from a Slug running sid and kernel image 2.6.17-2 worked perfectly just as it should (once I'd removed the nslu2.conf file which was the contents within /etc/mkinitramfs) The ne
