Yes HWGuru does require hi praise indeed!
Got my NAS working again last night (of sorts).
Manged to write a redboot image, then got booted to the reboot kernal and updated various parts (image, rd, hdapps).
I have a different issue now though, which I dont think belongs in this thread or forum, but I will tell all anyway.
I was unsure of the exact redboot image to use, but most links i found for dual nas sata were dead. The reboot image i found and uploaded shows many different partitions, which I am sure my previous NAS Config did not show.
I updated zImage, RD.gz, and hdapps.tgz, and it does boot without hard drives attached to what looks like the same nas software I used to have. However, when I plug a hard drive in, it appears that the kernal loads some
config details off the attached hard drive as the network interface goes down and comes back up again with my old network ip that was originally configured on the device. But then, I cant seem to access the web interface anymore.
Without the HD installed, it boots and works fine, but after saving configs (change of IP), and powering off, it doesn't seem to keep the changes. Maybe this is by design and I need to get the exact kernal image I had previously to be able to restore full operation. Anybody know anything about this behaviour?
Anyone, I guess the rest is down to me, so thankyou once again HWGuru!
Once happier NAS box owner,
