Debian squeeze image supplied from NewIT

[2nice]

Hi.

I just convinced my father in law to purchase a sheevaplug from NewIt - now he got it but we're not able to connect to the plug via the route/ethernet.

I managed to get the serial console working - and below is what I see. I told him to order the multiboot sheevaplug with preconfigured debian squeeze image 4gb - bút when I put in the sd card I still end up in the Unbuntu system?

Is there something wrong with the setup below? With out any sd card in the plug we're still not able to connect to the sheevaplug using ethernet.

What is the default "computername" of the ubuntu ? Then I could try pinging that name to see if I can connect.

Any ideas?

Regards, Bo

Hi Again.
I just figured out how to connect to the internal Ubuntu system - via the ip command.
So now I can connect via ethernet/router - but still I'm wondering if I got the multiboot sheeva and why cannot see the file system on the sd card.

Hi , I have a white multiboot plug too.

All it does is in uboot :-

bootcmd=run bootcmd_mmc; run bootcmd_nand

Which tries to boot from MMC ( the sd card ) , then if it can`t use nand as the backup .

Do a printenv in Uboot and check the bootcmd line to see what it`s booting !!!

If it is setup to multiboot then it having problems with the sd card , ME !!!! , I think it`s not been made to multiboot.

[2nice]

Hi Peter.
Thanks for the reply.
This is a copy of my env:
there is no bootcmd? Does this mean that I got a sheevaplug without multiboot? If so, can I set up to multiboot?

Hi again.

The SD Card image was corrupted in some way - I downloadede the squeezeserver image - and volia sheevaplug booted on the sd card.
Everything is fine now - and I learned how to connect via the serial console :-)

Thanks,
 
Bo.

[NewIT_Marcus]

Your first post shows a Sheevaplug booting from a 4G SD card to an Ubuntu system.

Under both Ubuntu and Debian, the normal method for obtaining an IP address is using DHCP. Of course you need to have a local DHCP server. If no address is obtained from a DHCP server, one is allocated from a private range. (I can't remember offhand what range).

It looks as though you may have been supplied an incorrect card, for which I apologise, but that doesn't explain why you couldn't connect (unless you don't have a DHCP server). Glad you have it sorted out now, anyway.

[2nice]

Hi Marcus.

Thanks for the reply.

My problem was that I'm not able to see the DHCP lease in my father in laws router (it's a locked down version) so we were 'pinging' around in the usual range 192.168.x.x - but we never hit anything. The Ubuntu was there running fine all the time I found out via the serial console :-)

Still - I'm not sure he ordered the correct SD Card - but I wanted to put on a squeezebox image on it anyway - so no harm done...
