After typing "fsck /dev/sda" before mounting: "fsck: fsck.auto: No such file or directory"
What distro do you use? They f**ked it up.

The drive is accessible from Linux when booted with an initrd, and a USB keyboard works.
Then you should be able to use it as root=<drive>. You have to substitue <drive> with exactly the name of your drive you were able to mount.

Thats correct, as /dev/sdb1 is the first partition. fdisk -l /dev/sda should show the one you're searching for.
You have to use sda on your calc, it doesn't have another HDD :)
If it still doesn't work, run fsck /dev/sda (while not mounted).
You can also try booting into the initrd and mounting the usb drive then.

You can type
Quote
kernel linux/zImage.tns
cmdline root=/dev/sda rootdelay=10
in manually to test it, if it works, save it as bootscript.
If you don't have any partitions on you usb drive, it should work. If you're using the first partition, you have to use /dev/sda1.

Edit your bootscript and append it to cmdline.

Edit: Try to boot with F8 and select the option you think might be useful ;)

I tried to test the latest zImage and it worked, so maybe your ndless version is too old.
If it doesn't work after an upgrade, could you try to boot with "cx_use_otg" and plug it into your pc?
Does it get recognized?

Edit: My CX CAS says "Machine Number: 4443"

Hmm, I have never seen that before, when does it happen? After "loading ramdisk" or even after "Login:"?
Also, which model are you using? CAS or non-CAS?

I haven't tried the "20130211_0728" kernel before, maybe there's an issue with the current build :/

The latest kernels are not working for me.
What exactly doesn't work? Kernel Panic, random pixels on the display or even crashing?

Have you tried it with an initrd?

Linux software raid runs everywhere, but needs more ram and cpu.
It's also a bit complicated to set up (and boot with grub) but it's worth it.

I don't know where you're coming from with that, but while I do not own a server, I have set up three or four, all with RAID, and never had an issue....
Asus server mainboard, 2005.
Speed was about 250 MB/s, with linux software raid (5) 460 MB/s.
It broke one year ago, but we got raid errors a week before, so we could backup everything.

I've have been using Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS for several years now, and I have never had to put the server down because it crashed or something similar.
We regret setting up Ubuntu. It became slow as hell after a few days and nothing worked as we wanted it to.
Now our server runs opensuse, best decision we ever made.

As for server hardware, I recommend you to also use a RAID setup. This doesn't necessarily need to be hardware RAID, but that's always better if you can get it
Do NOT use hardware RAID. The only good raid controllers cost more than 1000 $ and the cheaper ones are crap.
Linux software raid (mdadm etc.) is faster and works on completely different hardware.
If your RAID controller dies, your data is lost and recoverable only if you have the EXACT same model.

You can use (almost) any PC you can find. My Server is an 2,0 GHz Athlon II XP 2400+ and has 512 MB RAM.
Minecraft Server runs fine, while Apache runs in the background.
Also, you don't need a static IP, dynamic dns should be enough.
dyndns.org was free until last year, IIRC.
But there are still many free dns providers available.

My advice: Use Linux, but not Ubuntu.
It's buggy, slow as hell and a pain to configure.
With opensuse you have yast and don't have to configure everything with weird config files nobody understands.

You don't need new internetz, DSL 16000 is enough for basic hosting and minecraft (~120 kb/s upload).

It should work now.
At "20130112_1221 for version 2012.11-460-gec394d6" they changed the config option names for X, I forgot to
enable mouse, keyboard and fbdev again  ::)

Ok, I'll try to build a new image. Should be ready in about an hour.

When did you download it? I thought I resolved this issue..
Also, your read-only '/' would be interesting, too.
