new kernel on a guruplug

[fenriswoolf]

greetings all,
my name is theo, and i am new to this site, and a complete newbie to the plugcomputer
a friend was kind enough to get me setup, but it seems there is a new kernel out.
is there a resource that guides me step by step through the kernel installation process
(i was able to download the readme/script file for 2.6.36.1)
any help is greatly appreciated, since i just begun to explore the powers of cli
again, many thanks
theo

[fenriswoolf]

can anyone tell me what went wrong here ... thanks, theo

Your first attempt to download only partially downloaded one of the files.
Your second attempt saw the file (so didn't redownload it) and then if failed the md5 check.

delete the sheeva-* files in your download dir and rerun the readme.

i think i just murdered my guruplug ... went through the download and compile (i think) of a new kernel and then tried to upgrade uboot ... rebooted as instructed, and now it's not booting anymore ... i looked around, and it says that i should be able to plug in a usb mini, but there's no port, and i am supposed to have a 'connector', which, of course, i don't ... so, how do i get this thing up again ... i shall keep researching this, but any help is greatly appreciated ... theo

you need a jtag connected to your guruplug, the jtag has a mini-usb ,
the mini-usb / usb cable needs to be connected to a pc/laptop, so you are able to connect to the serial port of the guruplug
-- use putty (windows) or minicom/picocom on your linux-pc  --

i think you need a more recent uboot, because of the new kernel you flashed, so try this:
# read, download and flash uboot

I did them at the serial console through the USB JTag adapter, at marvell prompt
