A problem of rescue pack for KPW

szfisher · 03-12-2013, 09:05 PM

Maybe it is a bug of rescue pack for KPW. I have tried many times. At first time I can enter Diags mode and connect PC via USBnet normally. But after I disalbe Diags mode, quit to Main mode and enter Diags mode again, I cann't connect PC via USBnet anymore, althought I can ping it normally. So if you use rescue pack once time, you should reinstall it to keep it funtional.

on mine, I have to reinstall the rescue pack again every time I want to USBnet. You may find that this may work for you also.

Problem confirmed (thanks for persisting, szfisher!

).

Like some K5 diags versions, the PW seems to delete everything in /usr/local when exiting diags... I just wonder why I never noticed that before. Maybe because I usually just rebooted straight from the command line, so it didn't get a chance to "clean up" those evil, evil developer modifications.

Working on a fix.

Yes, it is:

Code:

$ strings opt/factory/system_diags |grep "rm -rf"
rm -rf %s
rm -rf /usr/local/*

Thanks for the link, it came just in time
