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? > > update i've managed to get output but it's all random symbols i'm using 115220 8N1 and i've resolver the header about 20 times and still the same Hi Brian, As far as I remember, you need to connect to serial console before switching on the thecus. If you connect too late, the comunnication may be corrupted.
