Excuse me for probably sending the same message twice, but I was having
network problems last night (not related to NSLU2) and never got a
confirmation that the message below ever got to port-arm. -------- Original Message --------
I am able to build the NSLU2 arm port, and constructed a root file system using NFS. The first time I booted the system, I got a warning that /dev/console was missing, and then the NSLU2 stopped with the following message: [...snip...] root device: npe0 dump device: file system (default generic): nfs root on npe0 nfs_boot: trying DHCP/BOOTP nfs_boot: DHCP next-server: 192.168.1.102 nfs_boot: my_addr=192.168.1.240 nfs_boot: my_mask=255.255.255.0 nfs_boot: gateway=192.168.1.1 root on 192.168.1.102:/video/client/root root time: 0x4792690f xrtc0: xrtc_clock_read: failed to read rtc at 0x0 xrtc0: xrtc_clock_read: failed to read rtc at 0x0 WARNING: preposterous TOD clock time WARNING: using filesystem time WARNING: CHECK AND RESET THE DATE! warning: no /dev/console init path (default /sbin/init): init: copying out path `/sbin/init' 11 [a few seconds go by] panic: init died (signal 0, exit 12) Stopped in pid 1.1 (init) at netbsd:cpu_Debugger+0x4: bx r14 db> [end of text - NSLU2 is running the debugger] Using the nbmknod command, I created dev/console using "sudo nbmknod root/dev/console c 0 0" and rebooted the system. The NSLU2 appears to boot ok (though with the same message about failing to read the rtc), and continues through the "init path" message. The system no longer panics and reboots, but neither does it allow me to log in. If I ping the NSLU2 address, it responds, but I can neither ssh or telnet into the NSLU2. If I press the power button on the front, the system powers down with the following message stream: [...snip...] init path (default /sbin/init): /sbin/init init: copying out path `/sbin/init' 11 [NSLU2 appears to hang at this point, but responds to a ping] [when the power button is pressed...] slugbutt0: power button pressed, shutting down! boot: howto=00000808 curproc=0xc048e6e4 syncing disks... done unmounting file systems... unmounting / (192.168.1.102:/video/client/root)... done powering down... [NSLU2 powers off]. I've checked /var/log for anything that the NSLU2 might have written there that would indicate the problem, but don't see anything. I've used FreeBSD before, but I'm new to NetBSD, so I'm not sure where to go next. I'm thinking that most likely I have a problem with how I set up the NFS root, and I'm going to try to set up a usb drive to use as root. Definitely sailing some uncharted waters here (for me, anyway). As always, any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Don |
