Hello!
My name is David and I just bought myself a Dual HDD NAS (sata). First
of all, thanks for the work you have put into the nas community and
the development of improved firmware for these things. I am having
great fun but there seem to be some issues I am unable to resolve by
myself.
When I insert my disks the device fails to boot. It just locks up for
an indefinite amount of time and never (for as long as I have waited)
requests an address from the dhcp server. I use the stock kernel
(original MRT (G5S52233211) kernel) along with tinky as packaged in
tinky-ls.tgz[1].
A user, Fabio, raised a similar issue in the comments to a blog
article[2] but I see no reply from him about whether he resolved his
issues.
My disks are of model Maxtor DiamondMax 10, 200GB SATA150. I have
tried several of these disks but with the same result (no boot). With
a 160GB disk I have laying about or with no disk at all the boot
succeeds. Hotplugging doesn't seem to be enabled with the stock kernel
provided by mrt so I get nowhere there either.
So I have the following questions:
1. Anyone seen similar issues and know the cause? Any known workarounds?
2. Is there a way to get a log of failed boots so I can see what is
going on? Do I need to attach a serial interface to the little thing?
Many thanks in advance!
David
