Hi , I managed to get my slug out of the brick mode. Etch install was successful on an external USB harddrive, only after reboot I coudlnt getr my hands back on it be it ping ssh etc. Actually, my local network is based upon the Freebox, an all-in-one ADSL modem from free.fr which has embedded router and DHCP functions. I edited /etc/network/interfaces for DHCP and commented the allow hotplug line. Since it failed , I grabbed the MAC address of the slug on the box and tried assigning it a static IP following the instructions on http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/TroubleShooting. I did the "FSCKFIX=yes" in /etc/default/rcS. I ran $ sudo hwclock --systohc. It works, but in a strange way: "cold" booting (power button) : OK, quite fast actually (less than 2 minutes). rebooting : sometimes brick mode. Last time it didnt. Previous stalled reboot was after a kernel image security update. Is it linked? shutdown + power button : like cold booting Bye, O.
