A new kernel for oxnas

[crckmc]

I'm currently using Arch and I think the mac-address is taken from /usr/local/mac_addr.

Dec 31 18:00:07 alarm kernel: [ 5.916784] eth0: device MAC address 00:25:31:01:02:03
Dec 31 18:00:07 alarm kernel: [ 7.920532] libphy: stmmac-0:00 - Link is Up - 1000/Full

This is indeed the MAC set in mac_addr. I think setting it to a static ip changed dhcpcd's behaviour because now I don't get the timeout message anymore. This is my everything.log after a boot http://pastebin.com/CUjvktPZ
Anything suspicious in there?

Thanks

you can edit the line in ox820.dts to set a fixed mac address,
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', ' ') mac-address = [000000000000]; /* Filled in by U-Boot */

@navym:
Kirkwood was just an example, because I recently configured a 3.12 kernel for my Goflex-Net.
I will explain it in detail, once I tested it all.
It just seems that with a similar configuration (of course with the necessary difference for the different SOCs), I don't get a working kernel image with your 3.12 sources. I will look into it in detail the next few days.

At the moment I would guess that console over UART does not work, if CONFIG_DEBUG_LL (and its sub options) is not set. Will have to test again, though, as I said.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'y')ou can edit the line in ox820.dts to set a fixed mac address,

@crckmc
Seems a impatient dhcpcd meets a slowly starting eth0
You can try to tweak dhcpcd yourself or try the latest armv5 rootfs or other distributions.
Even if it does not work, you can get better support from the community.

Does this kernel support the lights and wifi of the pogoplug pro?

[crckmc]

Tried the newest rootfs but the plug won't boot with it. Logs don't get created and LED stays off...

Will try debian now...

@celemine1gig

can i use your debian sata disk script and change the kernel afterwards?

[celemine1gig]

Yes, just write the new kernel Image to the hdd's first partition.

Just like in the script, with the appropriate device name of course:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'dd if=/path/to/uImage of=/dev/sd[X]1 bs=512')

[ShapeShifter499]

Added to my last question if this kernel supports the lights and wifi.... How do you guys go about cross compiling this kernel? I have a debian wheezy system and I'm having the hardest time getting a cross compiling system going that will compile this kernel and uboot.

[crckmc]

What is the problem with cross compiling? I started today with a debian wheezy system and I have to say it was quite easy getting it to compile. If you follow the given instructions and install all the needed tools it should work
