Orgino Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 When I start my pineapple with putty I just get Kernel Panic. I'm unable to select any options [ 13.690000] Kernel panic - not syncing: No init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/init.txt for guidance. And the tips on the wiki does not work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Do a clean flash via wiki. Every time you see kernel panic, something has gone terribly wrong lol. Pretty sure I state in my clean flash guide if you see a kernel panic, start over. Before it throws a kernel panic, it should show the boot options. Note: they only show if you are connected via UART. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgino Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yes I get the menu but it count from 3-1 and it gets Kernel panic, and I can't press anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Hmm, I can't remember what causes this. Are you using Windows? Try a linux boot disc or linux machine if you got one. VM maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hidden by Sebkinne, March 12, 2013 - Post hijacker - second post now. Iv'e done every step by step to do a clean flash over TTL UART OVER SERIAL because iv'e bricked it. Iv'e set the local area connection to iP 192.168.2.11 for the pinapple Iv'e set the same IP on Tftpd server. Iv'e set up putty right, serial line COM3 speed 115200, even in the serial tab flow control none. but putty is where i'm having a problem. once i open it i choosed 1, then i open Trtpd64 server I set my server interface to 192.168.2.11 change my dir to the factory files i run in putty "setenv bootargs "board=ALFA console=ttyATH0,115200 rootfstype=squashfs,jffs2 noinitrd" "saveenv" "tftp 0x80600000 kernel.bin" < this is where i get stuck! putty say's ar7240> tftp 0x80600000 kernel.bin eth0 link down FAIL dup 1 speed 1000 Using eth1 device TFTP from server "192.168.2.100";<(problem) our IP address is 192.168.2.1 Filename 'kernel.bin'.

Sebkinne Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 If you are unable to select any options the most likely explanation is that you have some flow control turned on. If that is the case, your key-presses aren't sent over and therefore the bootloader can't recognize your option choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orgino Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 If flow control is turned on. How do I turn it off? btw I use a USB 2.0 to TTL UART com Module SERIAL CONVERTER Adapter 6pin CP2102 ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230822820671?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea about why or how you managed to get it in that state, but that doesn't matter as you can just re-flash it. Now, it IS strange that you are having issues with not being able to input any commands (which is why you get the kernel panic as the bootloader will try to boot the OS instead of going into interactive flash mode). I suggest you try using Linux to flash the device - I myself don't use Windows much. If you don't have linux installed anywhere I suggest a VM - you can pass the USB uart through.

Orgino Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) I tried it first on my ubuntu laptop. But I can't get tftpgui to work I just get this Python error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "tftpgui.py", line 78, in <module> from tftp_package import tftpcfg, tftp_engine File "/home/ox/Desktop/tftpgui/tftp_package/tftpcfg.py", line 46, in <module> import configparserImportError: No module named configparser Edited March 12, 2013 by Orgino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orgino Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 For some reason my tftpd server wont tranfere the files from the pc to the pineapple. Her is my config: service tftp { protocol = udp port = 69 socket_type = dgram wait = yes user = nobody server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = /tftpboot -s disable = no } If I use "netstat -na | grep LIST | grep 69" I don't get anything.

Mr-Protocol Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 tftpgui - Simple tftp server. Make sure you have the correct Python dependencies installed for the one you download. Read the readme file to understand how to use it. Extract tftpgui, then extract factoryFiles.tar to the tftpgui/tftproot/ directory. sudo python tftpgui –nogui http://code.google.com/p/tftpgui/downloads/list Via: http://cloud.wifipineapple.com/wiki/doku.php?id=guidecleanflashserial#software_tools_linux_buntu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
