I can't find the nas after a first time install

[jeanlouispy]

I used ubuntu and the disk is a Samsung HD103UJ

I noticed in your output that you used "sda", how did you connect the harddisk to you PC with ubuntu ?
Normally sda is the main drive in a PC and when using an usb->sata connector the disk is has device id sdb...
So are you sure you prepared the right disk

[jeanlouispy]

Sure Ubuntu is installed on a IDE disk

[fvdw]

so that is disk hda.

need to think what next

The only difference I have seen between the tutorial and my disk is the size of the bloc (example on sda6 in my disk the size = 7008+ and on the tutorial the size = 8001

mmm...thats indeed not normal. But lets first try the following

If u-boot has a problem to recognize the disk (which is strange) then what we could try is if it wants to boot a kernel via network.
We will load the kernel using the fvdw-sl-console. The kernel is able to indentify sata disks and will load the firmware from the right partition.
To do this you have to put the nwsp1 kernel in the subfolder tftp of the folder where you installed the fvdw-sl-console.
As the console is currently designed to load only nwsp2 kernels we need to fake it.
rename the nwsp1 kernel in a way that it has NWSP2CL in its name, otherwise the console will reject the kernel

choose option load external kernel in the action menu and follow the instruction

I am gone for dinner now for an hour ;)

[jeanlouispy]

Ok the Kernel is loaded.

I'm going to dinner too, see you later ;)

[jeanlouispy]

Ok i'm here :-D

[fvdw]

i am also back ;)

so the kernel is running and is now the nas also accesible via network
