- Probably yes:
Calibrating delay loop... 132.71 BogoMIPS (lpj=663552)
- Mine came with
- Server Name: LKG63472F
- Version: V2.3RA5
- Connect USB printer?
- Install backuppc
- Connect Tuxdroid dongle
Debian
To install, follow the howto, here are the big steps:
- Get Debian 4.0r0 firmware from http://www.slug-firmware.net/ and unzip it
- Power the NSLU2 and wait a bit (green light) before plugging it to the network if you've a DHCP, so the NSLU2 will choose itself IP 192.168.1.77, otherwise look to your DHCP server logs to find the IP attribution
- Go to the admin webpage, tab administration, login admin/admin
- Configure ALL network params if you don't have DHCP
- Go to the admin webpage, tab administration, login admin/admin, tab advanced, tab upgrade
- Upload di-nslu2.bin, start upgrade
- Wait for "upgrading ok" (5mins) -> wait for 3 bips (5-10mins)
- This is the last moment to plug an external USB mass-storage if you didn't do so yet
- Login via ssh installer@192.168.1.77 (or another IP got by DHCP...) pwd "install"
- I did it from an xterm but exported term mode is pure console so it's better to login from a real text console otherwise the ncurses menu is a bit broken (but still usable)
- Start installation, manually load the following modules:
- ext3-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di
- partman-auto
- partman-ext3
- scsi-core-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di
- usb-storage-modules-2.6.18-4-ixp4xx-di
- Whatever system you choose to partition your disk, be sure to have at least 128M of swap, I've set up 512M on my 400G drive.
- In total it took about 100 mins to complete
- If you need a console, start a second ssh connection and choose to obtain a shell
