In latest svn the default kernel for NSLU2 is updated to 2.6.24 from 2.6.23, but, the /sys/class/leds is now empty.
Is the led interface changed in this version, or the leds support is not available yet in the new kernel?

Hi,

I've tested the r10666 on the ixp4xx platform (NSLU2) and I have the same issue.
All the 4 leds (status, ready, disk-1 and disk-2) are lighted after boot and there's no way to switch off the lights.

on Kamikaze 7.09 I can do :
$ echo 0 >/sys/class/leds/status/brightness

But /sys/class/leds/ is empty with the trunk snapshot.

Any clue?

I think that we have to stay with 2.6.23 kernel for while....

I dont have any NSLU2 available for testing, but perhaps you could test this?  Try to remove this patch and build again:

rm trunk/target/linux/ixp4xx/patches-2.6.24/021-ixp4xx_use_leds_gpio.patch

EDIT: looks like other patches depend on this patch, and I'm not familiar with quilt, so testing will be trickier than I thought.

Here is a patch to try.  I have 2 nslu2s running openwrt, but both are in production and I cannot test this patch right now:

Make sure kmod-leds-gpio is selected for installation in menuconfig.

Ah, yes that seems to work just fine. Its worth noting that the /ready led is the green side of the Ready/Status bicolor LED, and the /status is the red.

Thanks,

Yes. Trunk really needs a stabilizing phase now

For myself I wait a few thousand revisions now before I do my next build.

Yes...
