Blue LED Blinking and no network access to 2Big Network

[fvdw]

it might take some time to load firmware

[fvdw]

The only thing I can think of is that this hard disk has an issue.

To see were boot stops you can repeat the steps as posted earlier

So I've put the other hard disk into left bay
Repeat the steps from the beginning to install standalone kernel with no luck
Tried to install external kernel with no luck. Mention that when I try to load external kernel, front led is blinking blue from the time of power on until until the cmd window closes without any change to blinking mode

Can you explain me please what means steady red led and blinking blue led ??

[fvdw]

to avoid misunderstanding.

1. you have put the other disk in most lefthand slot, nas is switched off
2. installed the fvdw-sl firmware using fvdw-sl console and using the instructions provided
meaning selected the dtandalone kernel, started the fvdw-sl-programs and selecvted install firmware etc..
3. The install was completed successful
4. you switched of the nas with poweroff -f in the telnet windwo
5. You switched on the nas
6. the front led color becomes ?? please specify

with external kernel
E1. you used the fvdw-sl console option load and start external kernel, your nas is switched off
E2. you selected the kirkwood kernel in sub folder firmware/kirkwood
E3. you waited till cmd windows mentioned waiting for uboot
E4. you powered on your nas
E5. the front becomes , please specify

A red front led means , the device con not find a disk
A blue led blinking in regular pattern means it is trying loading kernel and firmware
A solid blue led means ready with boot

About red led sometimes we have seen that a unstable power supply was responsible for not able to detect a disk.
But because you can access the disk using standalone kernel it is unlikely in your case

I am sorry that you experience these problems but something seems to be wrong with this nas.
As last resort we can try to have a look at the bootloader uboot, the fvdwl console has also an option to open a uboot cmd window. But lets first verify the above.

ok thank you

lets have a look at the boot loader

power off the nas , select in fvdw-sl console the action u-boot console
Wait for the window waiting for u-boot
Start your nas
You should get a prompt like this

At this prompt give as command

Code: Select all

printenv

post the output (the cmd window support copying tekst, right click on top bar)
