No access to goflex net Hi, I did the Debian installation like it is described in the tutorial. Everything worked fine. But during the installation I got a lot of errors like "corrupt file system" after a reboot I have no access because I can not find any IP address for the device on the DHCP server. When I switch on the device I get some green blinking LED after some secounds it is a yellow blinking LED (with or without the stick) I also reseted the device but it makes no diffence. I have a goflex net and did the installation on a usb stick. I am very new in this forum, what can I do to get again access to my goflex net. Do I have to use his serial connection? What does this mean?

i have solved my proplem doing the following steps.
  1. downloading the archlinux ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz from http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-net on a linux pc
  2. format a usb-stick with one ext2 partition and mountet the partition to /mnt 
      $: mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt
  3. extract the tar ball to /mnt 
      $: tar xzf ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz /mnt
  4. unmount the drive
      umount /mnt
  5. plug the arch usb-stick into the USB-port on the goflex net and poweron the system


    The system in now booting and i will be able to connect using ssh
    After that i putted a usb-hub between the goflex an the usb-stick that i can connect a second usb-drive on which i will be able to install debian.
  6. ssh root@10.0.0.6 #password: root
  7. download the installation script 
      $: cd /tmp && wget http://dev.shyd.de/dockstar/dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh && chmod +x dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
  8. connect the target usb drive to the usb hub and looking for his devicename 
      $: dmesg
  9. replace the SWAP_DEV and ROOT_DEV in the script with my target devicename /dev/sdb1 -> ROOT_DEV and /dev/sdb2 -> SWAP_DEV
  10. run the installation script and follow the instruction
      $: ./dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
  11. after installation shutdown the system an disconnected the Archlinux-usb-stick and usb-hub and plug the debian usbstick directly to the goflex
  12. my system is now booting debian in a charm way

I have the same problem like you.
I tried to install debian on a USB Stick using Jeffs script, not with the updated Version from shyd because i found this later after the problem appears.
At the Installation process there are some downloading failures and i canceled the script.
What i was thinking is that my network connection was lost and i restartet my goflex net.
A other point was that i was thinking that the goflex will boot the pogoplug (original os) from the nand.

But now my box will only blinking amber. What can i do??


Please guys help us!]]> newgordan Debian Wed, 14 Mar 2012 13:10:13 -0400 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,6954,6954#msg-6954 No access to goflex net http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,6954,6954#msg-6954
