It seems someone had a similar problem here http://blog.coldtobi.de/1_coldtobis_blog/archive/171_installing_debian_on_the_thecus_n2100_--_part_3_--_installing_debian.html . I've tried raid non raid single and dual drives, manual and guided setup and it always fails. I've also tried the ssh connection via putty and via linux terminal. I thought it was hardware problem so bought another one with new drivers etc and still the problem exists. > > > > Anyone got any ideas what could be going on? > > I have few thecus N2100 working 24/24 7/7 while following my notes[1] (2 years old) about debianized Thecus-N2100. > > May be you can try to plug a serial console for debugging the issue you seem to encounter. > > Regards, > drEagle > > [1] https://doukki.net/doku.php?id=wiki:notes:n2100 > I've soldered a serial header and using the pin outs "You only need to connect pin 2 (RX), pin 3 (TX) and pin 5 (GND)" shouldn't VCC go somewhere? i'm using a PL2303 USB to TTL RS232 converter or will it not work with ie just a normall serial cable? |
