Linux distro on NSA325

[SomeoneOnLine]

Right on. Thanks for the info. I was able to clone the 250gb drive to the 1tb drive and it seams to boot up and everything.

Still cant get the return to stock option to work. when I run fw_setenv bootcmd 'run to_stock' I get "Cannot parse config file: Invalid argument"

One part im still a little confused about is if archlinuxarm is installed on the left drive then how would I create a raid1 array that uses both drives? Wont create an array delete the data on them after I format the new array thus deleting archlinuxarm from the left drive?

Are you still working on the updated kirkwood kernel? Where would I get it from?

As I am clearly new to Archlinux is there any other web based admin panels that will work with archlinuxarm other than webmin? I have used ajenti before and like the interface but cant tell if I can install it on arm or not? I found something called PlugUI but cant really figure out how to get that installed.

EDIT: I was able to reboot to stock zyxel firmware. I have to edit /etc/fw_env.config not /etc/fw_env.cfg.

Kernel is in the repository (linux-kirkwood).
Commits: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUIL ... x-kirkwood
If you are wondering which commits are included in the kernel in the repository compare _basekernel and pkgrel in the PKGBUILD to the version you see in the repo.

Like a small child with bright eyes I was downloading the NSA325 image. It's booting up to the login. But unfortunately the nasty watchdog-timer is still doing his terrible work.

First of all thanks a lot for investigation all this stuff.

Some boot messages:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[ 0.000000] Linux version 3.11.4-3-ARCH (nobody@) (gcc version 4.7.2 (GCC) ) #1 PREEMPT Tue Oct 8 19:08:42 CDT 2013

...
[ 15.279588] rtc-mv rtc-mv: internal RTC not ticking
[ 15.284780] orion_wdt: Initial timeout 21 sec')
So it's still recognized as NSA320. Ok, that's not the problem. But the watchdog-timer is set to 21 seconds, which is working quite reliable.

Edit:
Found a post in this thread, which solved the problem. Had to set the arcNumber to 4495. Now it seems to work.

Thanks Warhead. Love you.

i can't get the right hdd (formatted by stock rom) to work. If i leave it on nsa325 won't boot into archlinux. once i take it off archlinux boots fine...

any advice? thanks

[anesthetic]

one more thing - after installation i don't even have fw_setenv...had to pacman it. is it normal?

[SomeoneOnLine]

I had to do that too

[WarheadsSE]

Yes, that is normal.

[anesthetic]

i see...

how about the right hdd? anyone is able to boot with it?

i'll try to hook serial cable on to see what's going on...

[prokrypt]

No clue what's going on with the right drive... When you get the serial cable hooked up and figure out the problem, let us know too. I'm curious~

[WarheadsSE]

I've had no problem booting with 2 drives attached.. yet?
