No network

[worlor]

Hi
I have installed the fvdw-sl-10-1 firmware on the hard drive. But when I put the hard drive in my network space, it do nothing. There is no network (the switch has no light on the connected port) and i can't power off with the button.
If i disconnect power and reconnect it, it doesn't change.
I have followed the "how-to" of this topic viewtopic.php?f=7&t=235 and do it again to be sure that I have doesn't make mistake. But nothing change.
The blue light is constantly active. No blink at all (except at power up).
What can be wrong ? Is the marvell board defective ?

Hi

if the blue LEd blinks a short time (<2s) at boot then there is a problem with the kernel or your partition table.

Could you post your partition table

Code: Select all

fdisk -l /dev/sdx

where x is the device of your nwsp1 disk.

Here it is (in french) :

root@ubuntu:/home/worlor# fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes

It seem the firmware booted, the led blink more often. I followed the procedure to shutdown here : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=1033&p=6163#p6163 and it work.
But again, no network at all, the led on my switch isn't active. Tried with another ethernet cable, another switch, no change ... :/

On peut se parler en français ?

[Jocko]

So if the blue LED blinks more, then there is an issue with the script boot.

In the partition sda7, you must find a file : boot.log

So could you post its content

[worlor]

Content of boot.log :

Indeed there is a problem with your network.

The output of the boot script is ok, but your nwp1 doesn't find the dchp server and so get an ramdom ip.

I assume your dchp is your router (or ISP box) check if the dchp feature is available

[worlor]

Yes the DHCP is working successfully on my box. I have tested it after rebooting the box.

Mais même si le DHCP ne fonctionnait pas, la LED devrait quand même s'allumer pour dire qu'il y a quelque chose de connecté.

[Jocko]

Yes I forgot this information of your first post : the switch has no light on the connected port

In this case, you must search if there is no problem with the cable or the switch.

If not maybe the issue is the nwsp1 LAN port...

[worlor]

There is no problem with cable or switch, it works with other equipments. And it worked before.

I hope it's not the marvell board. Can i do something with it ? Is there a way to connect in serial ? (Je sais utiliser la connection série, la console linux etc ...)
The marvell firmware is maybe corrupt. Can i flash this firmware while booting the fvdw firmware ?

[Jocko]

That seems bad if it's a material issue I don't see a solution.

Maybe fvdw can confirm this point
