Re: Upgrade to linux-image-3.12-1-kirkwood on qnap ts-110 bricks the NAS (until recover)



Should be carry that out on the list? I think it is of interest for others too. Also you could get some additional hints from others.

Do I understand correctly:

   connected to the internet
- which means:
   "Debian machine" <-> Router <-> Internet <-> TP-Link <-> NAS

No, the situation is:
NAS <-> Router <-> Debian machine <-> ssh <-> me

That makes it simpler.

- could you try to convince the NAS to get actual dhcp setup from your
  debian machine?  I.e. disable dhcp on the TP-Link and installing
  isc-dhcp-server on your debian machine.

- or could you change the dhcp setup of the TP-Link router such that
  the NAS tries to load an image from your debian machine? (Ians post)


Steps 0 and 1 are easy, while step 2 is the hardest part.

Actually I thought 0 and 1 were the hardest""

0. does anybody know, if the image contains information unique to
   a NAS?  If not I could provide you an image.
1. described on Martins site:
   http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-119/recovery/

:
- computing skills of your father?

Poor. But he has electronic skills so he can't plug everything and I can
take care of the computing part.

At least he will be capable of putting the NAS into recovery mode. (;-))

You could also provide him information about the serial console (http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/qnap/ts-119/serial/). Perhaps he is tough enough to install one. In this case he could initiate the lftp download manually.
