Apologies for the cross-posting... not sure if either of these groups are particularly active any more.
I've had an NSLU2 successfully Unslung for about 7 years (quite the workhorse). This weekend, I suffered a power outage, and wasn't able to SSH after the Slug came back up. After some diagnostics, I discovered the IP address had reset to the factory default (192.168.1.77), and although I could access the web interface, I couldn't change the IP settings (kept getting the dreaded "Error: fail to get samba information".)
After poking around, I realized I had this problem...
So... I used telnet to connect to RedBoot (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/TelnetIntoRedBoot), reset/recreated the SysConf area (http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/ResetSysConf), and re-flashed using Upslug2 to Unslung 6.10.
After all that, I'm successfully Unslung - but can only boot from internal flash. I haven't been able to get the system to boot from my existing, 7 year old external flash drive.
What am I missing? Is there some step I need to do to get the system to again be okay with booting from my external flash drive? I don't want to start from scratch on a new boot disk, since I've configured this system to work well for my purposes.
Help?
