Do you know what firmware you had before installing debian? AFAIK with 2.1.05 booting via redboot was supported.
BTW: You got an ARP response.... So redboot (or something else) initializes ethernet. I'm asking because for my Thecus N2100, I usually needed more than one attempt to get into redboot. If that fails, the serial console is a sure way to fix it.... (If your firmware is too old, you can also load the original one into RAM, boot it and then "flash" it through the web interface. This way you can upgrade Redboot, if you want.) coldtobi > On 3/17/10, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: >> My Thecus N2100 ran well for years.
