GoFlex Home Installation Reboot SSH Problems

[djringjr]

Hello,

I tried to search for the problem but could not find anything related.

I followed the instructions for GoFlex Home here: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... oflex-home

I could not fdisk the drive because it was mounted still. I investigated and ran mount and saw that instead of /dev/hda1 the mounts were /dev/hda.

So I ran this command:

while [ `mount | grep sda | wc -l` -gt 0 ]; do umount -f /dev/sda; done

Now I could run
/sbin/fdisk /dev/sda

I went through the rest of the instructions and everything seemed well.

I used:

ethaddr uu:vv:ww:xx:yy:zz

And entered the MAC address of my device which is:
ethaddr 00:10:75:2D:EA:5f

I rebooted as the instructions say, and just left everything alone for five minutes.

When I rebooted, I found a device in my Router IP Table:
192.168.2.7 alarm 02:50:43:21:a6:f5

I have verified that this is my GoFlex Home - but notice that the MAC address is different.

I tried to ssh into this device:
ssh root@192.168.2.7
or just
ssh 192.168.2.7

And received this error message:
ssh: connect to host 192.168.2.7 port 22: No route to host

The LED on the GoFlex Home is RED.

Where do I go from here?

Thanks,

David

Go to the advanced tab on the device page, and use netconsole

Netconsole


Setup

OSX
su <admin account>
sudo ifconfig en0 alias 10.10.10.5
sudo ifconfig en0 alias 10.10.10.4
sudo ifconfig en0 alias 10.10.10.2

Linux
sudo ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.5
sudo ifconfig eth0:1 10.10.10.4
sudo ifconfig eth0:2 10.10.10.2
If using wireless connection use wlan0:0 instead of eth0:0

U-Boot

OSX
nc -luk 10.10.10.5 6666

LINUX
nc -lu 10.10.10.5 6666

Can interrupt boot and issue U-Boot commands directly
Altering and writing the environment does not work reliably

Kernel
OSX
nc -luk 10.10.10.4 6666
LINUX
nc -lu 10.10.10.4 6666
Monitor kernel startup messages

DHCP
OSX
nc -luk 10.10.10.2 6666
LINUX
nc -lu 10.10.10.2 6666
This shows the output of ifconfig so you know the address for your login

Since your post mentioned nothing more that Netconsole, I am only slightly ahead of where I was before staring at
the Advanced tab, and finding commands but no documentation.

I guessed at what I might do, and I tried:

nc -lu 10.10.10.2 6666ei

That never gives a result, 10.10.10.2 must be a typical IP address, hopefully the port 6666 is correct.

So I guessed again, and put in the IP address from the IP tables in my router:

nc -lu 192.168.2.7 6666

But that returns:

nc: Cannot assign requested address

Unfortunately, I am going to have to ask you to write just a few more words so i can not only get on the application - Netconsole - but also right command.

A foreign language dictionary has all the words, but if you do not know what you are looking for you can never find it.

I would have liked to asked this question and gotten an answer, not a prelude to another question.

Best wishes,

David

For netconsole to work your computer needs to be running either macos or linux and you have to alias your ethernet interface to have the exact IPs assigned as in the table (ifconfig commands). If you don't do that, it won't work. Preferably use wired connection and have your computer and GoFlex on the same switch, other configurations may not work depending on your router and/or switches you are using.

If you don't have either of these OSes installed on any computer at home then grab a linux live cd (i prefer kubunutu as it's got all the right tools and is easy to use), run the ifconfig commands, then have 2 terminals open each listening on different IPs (nc commands). We need kernel and U-Boot logs only
