Hello !
I hope that someone PLEASE could help me, because I have spend more
than 40 hours on trying upgrading my NSLU. Now I have lost contact
with the NSLU and cant use it.
I have read a lot of webpages and used google, but not found a
solution.

I have tryed to update the NSLU in two wayes but can't get further
on. In the following text I will explain what the status is, and the
status is called STATUS A and STATUS B. In both cases I try to upload
the firmware "Unslug 6.10Beta firmware" forund here:

STATUS A:
----------
I have downloaded the upgrade-program UgUtil described on the page
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/SercommFirmwareUpdater where I
found the link http://www.everbesthk.com/8-
download/sercomm/firmware/NU54/Upgrade_207_XP.zip.
First I bring the NSLU into the UpgradeMode readu for firmware
upgrade.
When I run the program Ugutil it find the NSLU and ask for the file
to upload. I select the first Unslug file mentioned on the page
http://www.slug-firmware.net/ with the text "Download Unslung
binaries". The program get through the "Erase EProm"; an get further
to the "upload frimware", but it stay at 0% upload and the UgUtil
program send me an error message.

STATUS B:
----------
I followed the UpSlug2 guide on the page http://www.nslu2-
linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlug2. My computer normaly run Win XP and
because of that, I made a CD with Knoppix from the page
http://www.knoppix.net/. Knoppix is a Linux version that run from a
CD-drive even though the computer have WinXP installed. My computer
runs fine with Knoppix, and I tried to execute the following commands
(mentioned in http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Main/UpSlug2):

cd upslug2
autoreconf -i
./configure
make

but get errors at the command autoreconf.

REMARK:
--------
Please be aware of, that my NSLU all the time run in "upgarde mode".
By all the time I mean, that eaven when I turn off the power and turn
it on again, the NSLU returs to "upgrade mode" where the Ready/System
indicator continously changes between Green and Red.

PLEASE:
--------
Normaly I know how to get things up running, but this time I begin to
get gray haired. Please help me befor I get too old.

Can you share that error message with us? That might be helpful.

Lacking any other information, it seems as though you may have a network
problem of sorts. Can you also describe how your host PC and the NSLU2
are connected to the network, and what you have tried already (in terms
of changing cables, etc.)?
