Hello, I own and use several Slugs (NSLU2). One of them (my main "fileserver") still ran on Lenny until 3 days ago when the USB-stick finally died (almost died). I had a replacement prepared more than a year ago with Squeeze, but didnt use it after some initial problems. So I upgraded the replacement to Wheezy (which didn't cause any major problems, only took some hours). Then I thought it would be nice to use a copy of the USB-stick of this Wheezy-installation to reanimate the system with Lenny in flash (and do a flash-kernel when it lets me ssh in).
Problem is: The Lenny-kernel from flash doesn't load the ethernet driver from the Wheezy USB-stick; logs are written, so I can see that the filesystem is mounted ok, only ethernet is missing. My question: Does it seem like a good idea to place a line with "flash-kernel" into /etc/rc.local ? Once this happened I would shut down the system (power-button of the Slug, redefined to shutdown in Lenny, still works), edit /etc/rc.local and delete "flash-kernel", after that the system should com up normally (shouldn't it?).
