Finally got the email client working again on the walking dead system :) On 04/14/14 13:57, Adrian Chadd wrote: > Hi! I was hoping you were tuned in.

Sorry, that was a bit remiss wasn't it? I had the info to put in too... its the AR9285 atheros chipset. dmesg is a bit harder being on a different system. I'll try and get the info in order though, at the time I was reading off the scrolling output from vt1. The error(s) are repetitive though, so I'll just offer one cycle. It doesn't seem to necessarily follow any real order though, from my observation. ath0: ath_reset_grablock: didn't finish after 10 iterations ath0: ath_reset_grablock: warning, recursive reset path! ath0: ath_reset: concurrent reset! danger! ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 14 ath0: ath_chanset: unable to reset channel <channel>, hal status 14 ... ath0: ath_reset: unable to reset hardware; hal status 14 > > Anything like the above kinda indicates there's some bigger issue going on. I can't imagine its a hardware issue as it seems to work with other systems (like the install memdisk). I thought with the hal debug sysctl being available it would offer more info, but it seems it may not even be in the kernel although there is a sysctl. I tried compiling a new kernel with the debug options, but the backup battery is not working properly so it depends on ntpd to set the correct time, and the make requires the correct time set; so I'll have to address that before I can continue that course.
