Debian "squeeze"

Has anyone attempted to install Debian "squeeze" on the DNS-323 and use the ext4 file system?  I tried it on two DNS-323's and while I could get everything to install, upon reboot nothing came up.  While waiting on my serial cable parts, I am just curious if anyone has had any success in this.

Re: Debian "squeeze"

'I'm running debian squeeze (fully updated from lenny) for a while without problems. However wasn't keen to tryout ext4 on this platform so far.

Not an expert on ext4 but from what I've heard and read it requires an update of grub  in order to allow grub booting the kernel from ext4.

Re: Debian "squeeze"

i am using debian squeeze (also upgraded from lenny) and ext4 for the storage. but usual ext3 for the root partition.

updating grub wont help, because grub is not used (the dns-323 uses u-boot)

Re: Debian "squeeze"

Well - I temporarily got my serial cable to work and saw that the raid isn't mounting right.  But then I couldn't get the TX portion to work (hopefully my other thread will lead to someone willing to sell a intact working serial cable..).  Then I can go one with testing ext4

Re: Debian "squeeze"

if you can see the kernel cmd line and dmesg why dont you just fix the on disk stuff arcordingly (e.g. revert ext4 to ext3)? no cable needed.

Re: Debian "squeeze"

It waas a temporarily working serial cable.  I played around with it too much (because couldn't get TX to work) and broke it.  I am not much of a solderer, so that's why I asked for some assistance.

Doesn't look like an ext4 issue - more a RAID issue (can't mount raid) - I think the only way to fix that is by reflashing kernel.
