adapting fvdw-sl firmware for isp1 trials

[johan72]

Jocko, yeah did get that part.
Anyway it was too less info to be able to assist in any possible way.

Hi Johan,

Do you note that supermax have a ISP2 and not a ISP1 so the kernel must be different !

[fvdw]

I would be interested to hear if my suggestion to try the 2.6.39.4 kernel brought the isp2 of supermax to live :D

[Jocko]

Normally it should work. there is very little difference between NWSP2 and ISP 2.

See : http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=ca9cea939932a0a64fee9d83b3c631431359446f

I'll test it on my ISP2 this week end and feedback

[supermat]

Hy every body, I can't wait anymore and test it this morning, and te result is OK

[fvdw]

:D :mrgreen: seems I have done a good job when preparing this kernel

ps which disk image that you use and is shutdown , reboot working via the webinterface and what about the power button ?

seems we can add the isp2 to the list of supported devices

Hi,

Updated the first install guide.
-replaced package references with current version.
-added fdisk 'u' option, which lets you switch form sectors to cylinders.
-added a keep in mind box: regarding usage of disks other than 500GB.
-minor phrase corrections.
