Prerequisites: Get clunc, install Debian, via either telnet/ssh or just put the harddisk in an existing Linux computer.
1. From terminal : ./clunc -i 192.168.2.77 -w 120
2. Boot LaCie NAS
3. Clunc shows prompt Marvell>>
4. Enter: boot;ext2load ide 1:1 400000 /boot/uImage;bootm 00400000 at prompt.
So, what was needed to make the sound and wireless network work?
Wireless network
The chip is an RealTek 3090. Not yet supported out-of-the-box, so install this:
rt3090-dkms_2.3.1.3-0ubuntu0~ppa1_all.deb
(make sure dkms is already installed –>terminal: sudo apt-get install dkms )
Load the module:
sudo modprobe rt3090sta
Now sound, the chip is an Intel N10/ICH 7 Familty High Definition Audio Controller (Terminal: lspci | grep -i audio)
This one is even easier:
sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic
Done.
enable WOL on Network Card: ethtool -s eth0 wol g This only works once, so to keep this setting, make a bash script and run it at boot:--> file wakeonlanconfig: #!/bin/bash ethtool -s eth0 wol g exit--> chmod a+x wakeonlanconfig --> update-rc.d -f wakeonlanconfig defaults --> On your router, open ports 7-9 to be forwarded to the PC to be WOL'ed. Make sure you select UDP as type, and not (only) TCP! I have given my router the same mac address as the PC to be WOL'ed, but not sure whether that's necessary. Then, goto a WOL website, such as: --> http://www.wakeonlan.me and fill in the details. Done. You can find your mac address like this: --> ifconfig | grep HWaddr it looks like 00:26:3c:2b:fa:42
I had troubles with fancontrol on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
My config file /etc/fancontrol was set up to use hwmon1 as device, but after reboot, fancontrol didn’t work. Changing the config back to hwmon0 made fancontrol work again.
Problem was caused by a bug and a workaround is to blacklist k8temp. (Add a line in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf )
Enabling GPU Hardware video acceleration for ATI / AMD and Ubuntu.
Assuming a clean install Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx and an ATI GPU (for NVidia, use vdpau-video instead of xvba-video) It’s probably not necessary to have a clean install, though.

On Ubuntu 9.10 I encountered a build error for collect2.c :
--snip-- ... gcc/collect2.c:1537:
/usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared
with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments
Solution was to add this ‘third argument’ to the code. File existed more than once in my source tree, so from your source tree root, issue a find . -name collect2.c will find yours. Update the files:
Change:
redir_handle = open (redir, O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC | O_CREAT);
to:
redir_handle = open (redir, O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC | O_CREAT, 0666);
Good luck
