The fsck 'reloader' allows me to get to a point where I can do fsck safely. Great stuff very handy.
http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fsck/
Say I did the following:
Put the etch.tgz mentioned elsewhere in to the root directory of /mnt/HD_a2,
what do I have to have in an initrd that could be used with reloader to be able to start the full debian boot process? This means I could reboot the box, without needing a firmware flash to effectively a native debian system.
I don't know enough about the boot process to figure this out myself. I don't have serial port installed so it's pretty difficult to figure out what's going wrong.
What I would like to be able to do is:
./reload.sh zImage-2.6.12.6_huge debian_boot.gz
or, ideally,
./reload.sh zImage-2.6.12.6_huge root=/dev/sda2
I just don't know what needs to be in the initrd to work right.

Yes, you can do that. Afaik, you can boot into Debian without using an initrd at all. You need to use the newer reloaded modules from http://www.inreto.de/dns323/reloaded/dn … d-0.7.167/ that can boot without initrd. I use sth like the following to boot a 2.6.24 kernel without initrd and a custom linux installation from disk:
KVER=$(uname -r)
kernel=zImage
CMDLINE="console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda2"
insmod reloaded-${KVER}.ko machtype=1542 kernel=${kernel} initrd= cmdline=\"$CMDLINE\"1542 is the machine type code for the kernel from http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/g … /orion.git
For firmware kernels, this number must be 526, and you should add ":::DB88FXX81:egiga0:none" to $CMDLINE.
Can't help with the Debian stuff.

Hi fonz,
does this mean you have a custom build kernel 2.6.24 which you can boot/reload on the DNS-323?
Do you mind sharing your .config for the kernel build?
Thanks & regards, ollo

Any chance I could get a tgz with everything needed?
I've tried the fsck zImage. I can ping the machine, but I can't telnet or ssh to it. There's no sign on the drive of actual activity, i.e. there's nothing in the /var/log directory.
So, I think it's booting but I can't tell what the failure might be. Don't have serial port installed. But I might.
I'd much prefer to have debian than the stock firmware. I have debian on the linkstation which is much nicer than their standard firmware.
