Hey there, I have been looking at the GC-Linux project for a little while now, and I have not got round to buying the Broadband Adapter and PSO yet (Waiting for them on eBay :-P), but I was wondering, how do you enter data straigh= t to the cube, like is there a keyboard you can get or something? Thanks, Matt --=20 Matt Melling [Student/Programmer] ma...@tk... / http://www.tkcentral.net/ msn: ma...@tk... .:. icq: 192032230 |

There is a keyboard produced (for PSO), and there is also a PS/2-to-GC keyboard adapter. I don't have either yet, but network access works quite well. Has anyone else had trouble with nbd? I can't get it to work; I can get nbd-server running on any number of machines and architectures here (cygwin, Linux/x86, Linux/PPC, OS/X), and clearly *some* communication is happening, since instead of "Connection Refused" I get "NBD: So such device or address" (I think; I'm not near my cube at the moment). NBD does appear to be compiled into the kernel. I'm using the Debian root FS from 2/29 or so (btw: a neat little trick: if you install ntpdate and then modify the start script to manually set the date to 1/1/2004 before running ntpdate, you have a clock at startup, (I don't know how well it tracks real time, though). If you don't manually set the clock to the right ballpark, Linux decides that some time in 1936 is closer to 1/1/1970 than some time in 2004 is, so you end up with a Depression-era Gamecube). Adam |

Hi, Can you give the exact error message nbd-client gives? Maybe you started it the wrong way. This is how i started it: server: nbd-server 33221 /usr/diskless/cube.swap client: nbd-client 192.168.2.1 33221 /dev/swap Also make you /dev/swap exists. You create it this way: mknod /dev/swap b 43 0 It is possible you have a new version of the guide and an old version of the nfsroot. The new version of the nfsroot contains a pre-make /dev/swap. Yesterday I also uploaded a debian/unstable(sid) nfsroot. The same guide should apply, I haven't tested it. This is for the people who claim they don't have enough bandwidth or think upgrading from stable(woody) to unstable is hard. About ntpdate, this is a known issue. Use rdate instead.

If I hit a machine that isn't running NBD, as expected, I get "Connection refused": cube:~# ./nbd-client 192.168.1.1 33221 /dev/swap Error: Connect: Connection refused So clearly I'm hitting something on port 33221 of the appropriate machine...but it isn't acting right. OK, so, u32 and u64 aren't defined, so that the configure check for nbd.h fails because the types are undefined and therefore the test compilation for usability of nbd.h fails. But cliserv.h *does* that. And other than a comparison between signed and unsigned I get warned about, compilation and running appear OK. cube:~# ./nbd-client 192.168.1.13 33221 /dev/swap Error: Can not open NBD: No such device or address I get the same thing if I run nbd-server I've apt-gotten for Debian Sarge.

Did you enable NBD support in the kernel? If so, i don't know how to fix it, sorry.

That's the kernel I'm using, although I've patched the local IP and NFS server addresses into the boot parameters, Is there a different prebuilt kernel I should be using instead? Adam |
