Shuttle XS35GT [1]

Pro's

Nice esthetics
Ion platform
Mountable on monitor/tv

Cons

Needs configuring

How to get it working.

Diskless Boot

Unrecognized NIC

The driver for the JMicron JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller needs to be first installed, before the MD will netboot.

wget http://ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Linux/jme-1.0.6.1.rar
apt-get install unrar -y
unrar x jme-1.0.6.1.rar
cd jme-1.0.6.1
make install
cp jme.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/
sudo <editor-of-choice> /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules

- adding 'jme'

boot your MD

sudo cp /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko

sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules

- adding 'jme'

sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules

- adding 'jme'

then create a new initial ram disk

cd /usr/pluto/diskless/
chroot <mediadirector-id>
depmod
cd /boot
mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`
exit

This will create a new initial ramdisk for the first boot of new MDs containing the jme module. Now, the first boot of the diskless MD will succeed and a new diskless media director will be created.

 #'''Unrecognized NIC'''
 The driver for the JMicron JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller needs to be first installed, before the MD will netboot.
-Download the file jme-1.0.5.tbz2 which contains the driver from
-ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Linux/
-Open a "terminal" and type the following
+# wget http://ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Linux/jme-1.0.6.1.rar
- <nowiki>$ tar xjvf jme-1.0.5.tbz2
+# apt-get install unrar -y
-$ cd jme-1.0.5
+# unrar x jme-1.0.6.1.rar
-$ make install</nowiki>
+# cd jme-1.0.6.1
+# make install
+# cp jme.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/
+# sudo <editor-of-choice> /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules
+- adding 'jme'
-copy the module to the running kernel
+boot your MD
- <nowiki>$ cp jme.ko /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/</nowiki>
+# sudo cp /lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/lib/modules/2.6.27-17-generic/kernel/drivers/net/jme.ko
-To get a NIC to work, you have to modify a file, type the following in "terminal"
- <nowiki>$ sudo <editor-of-choice> /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/modules</nowiki>
-and add a single line for your NICs kernel module. In the above case the name of the module is
- <nowiki>jme</nowiki>
-After adding the above line (and saving the change of course), you have to recreate the initial ramdisk.
+# sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/modules
- <nowiki>/usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_BuildDefaultImage.sh</nowiki>
+- adding 'jme'
-or maybe
+# sudo nano /usr/pluto/diskless/<MD#>/etc/initramfs-tools/modules
- <nowiki>mkinitramfs -d /etc/initramfs-tools-interactor/ -o /tftpboot/default/initrd</nowiki>
+- adding 'jme'
-is enough.
+then create a new initial ram disk
+# cd /usr/pluto/diskless/
+# chroot <mediadirector-id>
+# depmod
+# cd /boot
+# mkinitramfs -o initrd.img-`uname -r` `uname -r`
+# exit
