Hi! I got my new pogoplug (v2) today and I want to install Debian on it. I already paritioned my usb stick correctly. But the big problem is that my usb stick is ALWAYS recognized as "/dev/sdb1" (ext2) and "/dev/sdb2" (swap). The installer script is made for using /dev/sda1 and /dev/sda2. So it fails when trying to extract debian to the usb stick. What can I do? How do I get my usb stick recognized as /dev/sda?

Nice to know, thanks :) Even though I'm pretty used to debian/ubuntu, I'll get the change to try Arch next time :) I went the debian way maaaany years ago because I could get more help and support from the community .... being a linux noob without using debian was quite hard a few years ago!]]> wladston Debian Thu, 10 May 2012 14:14:50 -0400 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7902#msg-7902 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7902#msg-7902 WarheadsSE Debian Thu, 10 May 2012 11:14:14 -0400 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7881#msg-7881 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7881#msg-7881
Cool. I wished I could help out, but I never did any kernel-level programming. I can write C, though :)

Several non-x86 archs/systems made into the mainline kernel, I was wondering why no one cared about the oxnas ...

I would stick with arch, if it had all the packages I need available ...]]> wladston Debian Tue, 08 May 2012 17:48:16 -0400 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7879#msg-7879 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7879#msg-7879
ARM is not x86, so the kernel is different per SoC.

We are working on it at Arch Linux ARM, but few people outside of us understand what is going on with the device in depth. Although progress is slow because many of our kernel developers are swamped with RL work, it is progressing including a complete SoC driver re-write.]]> WarheadsSE Debian Tue, 08 May 2012 09:57:23 -0400 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7789#msg-7789 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7789#msg-7789
It's frustrating not being able to change u-boot parameters, or being able to install the vanilla kernel.

Any idea if anyone is working on that ? I could help out!]]> wladston Debian Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:46:53 -0400 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7755#msg-7755 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7755#msg-7755 -------------------------------------------------------

You can't install Debian directly ... There is thread explaining how to do that. Its quite simple.
Look here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,6489

Short summary: you have to install arch linux arm first (for the kernel) and then copy the debianrootfs provided by varkey to the usbdrive you previously installed archlinux to.

I deleted Debian on my P24 because its quite slow. Don't know why exactly ...]]> theliquid Debian Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:24:13 -0400 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7510#msg-7510 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7510#msg-7510 Wladston Viana Debian Sat, 31 Mar 2012 19:58:34 -0400 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7276#msg-7276 http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7275,7276#msg-7276
