iLiad removing unbrickable from boot

ragdoll · 01-23-2008, 03:27 AM

Hi, I installed unbrickable not knowing it can't be uninstalled. ssh access is very useful but it would be better if I can enable/disable it when I need it, I don't want it to continually reduce battery life.
Is there a way to remove it from the start process?
What commands to I have to use to start/stop it when the machine has already booted?

You could do a reinstall of the OS. put format in the config-file. Have a look at the MR-wiki, I'm pretty sure there is a detailed description there how to go about doing that.

Thanks.

Hi all.

I have the same thought and I also have to recharge me iliad 2 times a day
But now I've found if I remove and change some lines then it work as b4.

In /etc/network/interfaces with net turn on

Code:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
pre-up modprobe smc91x
post-down rmmod smc91x
New without net and it works for download firmware and connect to your computer.

Code:
# /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration file for ifup(8), ifdown(8)

# The loopback interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 loopback

I found these words in the forum , but I don't know how to do it,
anyone can help me ?

That's not kidding. Reflash-from-CF is a easier way to recover failed iLiad system.
To use the unbrickable package, you must have some Linux console knowledge. Ever since iRex released the reflash rom, the unbrickable package is rarely needed.
