Re: Debian kernel package for linkstation pro

Can EM be used similarly on the lspro?


The Buffalo software does indeed include an "emergency mode", but this is entered as a special case from their kernel/initrd pair, both of which are stored on the hard-disk. Once you install the Debian kernel and initramfs (replacing the Buffalo kernel and initrd), this functionality would be lost. The only thing in flash on the lspro is uboot.

Also, an unpatched Debian kernel and initramfs won't boot on the lspro without deleting the initrd=... parameter (more accurately, the initrd= parameter causes an initramfs to fail to load on all unpatched Linux kernels, but does not affect an initrd).

Cheers,

Tim.
