no ip address, unable to access the NAS

I did exactly as you say, but it remains in this screen

Seems you did not select option install firmware but instead choose option uboot console in tvdw-sl console :scratch

[fvdw]

You replaced the puicture the first one you posted clearly showed message starting uboot netconsole.
That can only happen if you choose as option uboot console in fvdw-sl console.

If you then manually start telnet of course you will get connection refused message as no telnet server is running on the nas.
Now switch off you nas, select install firmware choose kirkwood standalone kernel, wait for window mentioning waiting for uboot and then power on your nas and report what happens in the window. If kernel loads and starts the window will close automatic after message starting kernel and after some time the telnet client will start automatic prompting you to login. Do not start anything manually just wait.

yes, sorry you're right, I put the wrong screenshot. I have updated the previous post.
I wanted to try what happened with u-boot console.

and immediately after, this window closes and another one appears and the popup saying telnet refused

[fvdw]

Thats odd it seems there is no kernel uploaded.
Lets see if we can do it manually

Switch off the nas and close fvdw-sl console if you have that running
Start fvdw-sl console
choose as action start tftp server then choose action u-boot console
Wait for window waiting for uboot and then switch on your nas
Wait for the message with remark to click on the window and press enter
click on the window and press enter.
You should get a prompt: marvel>>
At this prompt type exactly these commands

Code: Select all

setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 netconsole=6666@${ipaddr}/,6666@${serverip}/ root=/dev/sda7


use the commands exactly as they are given so do not replace the parameters ipaddr and serverip leave them as they are in this command
PS the u-boot console window has a paste option (right click on title bar)
check if now bootargs parameter is set to this string

Code: Select all

printenv bootargs

proceed

Code: Select all

ide reset
tftpboot 0x800000 UIMAGE-3142-KIRKWOOD-171-standalone


You should see in the u-boot window that the kernel is uploaded looking something like this (example output your kernel name and size will be different

tftpboot 0x800000 UIMAGE-26394-NWSP2CL-59

If that is finished enter

Code: Select all

bootm

You should see in the u-boot window that the kernel is starte

If the kernel starts you should get detailed output of kernel laoding in the u-boot console window. If the kernel fails before netconsole is activated in the kernel then there will be no output

I feel stupid, I can not go further

[fvdw]

put your mouse on the window and click on it to select it then press enter.

If that doesn't work your firewall is blocking outbound traffic

[fvdw]

your firewall should be set to allow to pass firewall for clunc-open, nc, tftp-server, tftpd

Easier is to disable the firewall temporarily

[danilomag]

I have completely disabled the firewall. I don't use antivirus.
The modem has never assigned an IP address to the NAS.
