Fail to get an IP from DHCP server after installing fvdw-sl

[fvdw]

No there will be no telnet as the nas boots normally using the external kernel. Can you connect now to the nas via webinterface or did boot failed?
If it failed load standalone kernel and check content of boot.log on sda2 and sda7

One question I assume you have put back the disk in slot 1 of the 5big2 and not connected via usb correct?

Yes, is back to new 5big2 in slot 1.
no usb cable, that i use for the cloning procedure before with my old one 5big2.
And the other 4 slot of the nas are empty.

Now lets start over again, load standalone kernel and choose option install firmware.
But befor calling fvdw-sl-programs and run the installer we are will manually delete the partition table.
Using fdisk (as you made previously a msdos table)
To do that use the commands in the telnet client

Code: Select all

fdisk /dev/sda


fdisk starts and give command : d
Choose partition 8 to delete
Repeat command: d and choose 7 and so on till all partitions are gone.
After that give command: w
This will write new partition table to sda
To leave fdisk use q
To check if partition table is empty do

Code: Select all

fdisk -l /dev/sda

It should lust no partitions
Now start fvdw-sl- programs and run the installer, choose msdos as partition table and let the installer finish its job.
When succesfully completed do NOT reboot but list the content of sda7 and sda5

Code: Select all

mkdir /sda5
mkdir /sda7
mount /dev/sda7
mount /dev/sda5
ls /sda7
ls /sda5
 

Post output do not reboot yet

[Draftmancorp]

ok, partitions deleted, installation is on its way...

[Draftmancorp]

here we are:

Code: Select all

root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # mkdir /sda5
mkdir: can't create directory '/sda5': File exists
root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # mkdir /sda7
root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # mount /dev/sda7
mount: can't read '/etc/fstab': No such file or directory
root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # mount /dev/sda5
mount: can't read '/etc/fstab': No such file or directory
root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # ls /sda7
root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ # ls /sda5
root@fvdw-sta-kirkwood:/ #

The telnet windows is open at this point, with blue background and "Installation complete etc"
