Not able to telnet into nas

[Doppie]

I am trying to install the firmware on a new disk. I am using XP. I have switched off the firewall, even uninstalled the virusscan. Both computer and nas are on the same subnet. 192.168.1.xxx, ip-address for nas is set to 192.168.1.251. I have started the console and the nas is recognized. TFTP runs fine and executes some code. Then telnet pops up but after a little while the error "connection to ... timed out. Any idea? Otherwise is it possible to take out the disk and install it directly onto it?

Thanks in advance!

TFTP runs fine and executes some code.

it should show the uploading process and finally mentioning starting kernel (in the u-boot console window)
Did you get that message ?

something like this (note this is an example your kernel name and size as well as Ip's will be different)

Code: Select all

Marvell>> tftpboot 0x800000 UIMAGE-26394-NWSP2CL-59
tftpboot 0x800000 UIMAGE-26394-NWSP2CL-59

Hi fvdw, thank you for your quick response.
I get the message you showed. It starts with "No lump receive" But it ends the same. The harddisk spins up, telnetwindow shows up and after a little while "connection to 192.168.1.251/telnet timed out". I have tried with a static address on my XP pc 192.168.1.253 and subnetmask 23 but still no connection. Any idea?

[fvdw]

It is not clear to me what you mean with subnet mask 23 :scratch

That the disk spin up is a good sign. It means the kernel loaded, which kernel did you load?

If you load the standalone kernel (kirkwood) the only thing I can think off is that your router doesn't allow to connect to 192.168.1.252 because of wrong subsetmask in the router and/or your pc

Use in the router and pc subset mask 255.255.255.0 to allow access to any ip 192.168.1.xxx in your lan

[Jocko]

Do you mean you have two subnets like 192.168.0.xxx;192.68.1.xxx ?
23 subnet mask means you can handle hosts from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.254 on your LAN

[Doppie]

I tried subnetmask /23 because the telnet programm states "connecting to 192.168.1.252/23". To rule out problems on my network I installed a telnet server on a linux pc and I can connect to it from my XP laptop. The image I try to load is UIMAGE-3142-NWSPCL-14. Still no luck. When I connect a USB serial device to the serial connection of the NWSP2 I am able to see the boot message. Is it possible to send the image through this way?

[Jocko]

Hi Doppie,

You misunderstand something :
- To get a telnet access, you must use only standalone kernel image (with Keyword 'standalone' in their filename).
- other kernel images must be used only with the action 'load an External kernel' if you have already installed our firmware image. Its goal is either to test a new kernel version or load a kernel from another source if kernel is corrupted on the disk.

Hi Jocko, thank you for your quick response. I selected the wrong image )-; . I have a network space vs 2 and now I have used UIMAGE-3142-KIRKWOOD-150-standalone. I get an error message cannot find firmware file on sda5. script will exit. Have I chosen the wrong image?

[Jocko]

Do you unpack all files from fvdw-sl console package ?

Otherwise try again and when you get the error message "Cannot find firmware file on sda5"

please post the output

Code: Select all

mount /dev/sda5 /sda5
ls -l /sda5
cat /sda5/installer.log

Hi Jocko, it failed see the log. I have used uimage-3142-kirkwood-150-standalone (5739kB). I now have used my Windows 10 pc.

There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
