1 USB-Stick for 2 Dockstars?

Hallo,
i used your debian install script on my Dockstar to install it on a usb stick.
but if i plug this stick on an other DS it dosn't boot from it.I must install it again
on this DS?
what is the problem?MAC?
can i change the mac?
can i see the uBoot variables?

You need to install uBoot on the second Dockstar.

And watch out for Debian's udev stuff. On the second Dockstar, your network card will be eth1 instead of eth0 until you edit /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules

I have install uBoot with your script?

but what must i change here??

Unknown net device (/devices/platform/mv643xx_eth_port.0/net/eth0) (mv643xx_eth_port)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:10:75:1a:c1:36", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"


# Unknown net device (/devices/platform/mv643xx_eth_port.0/net/eth0) (mv643xx_eth_port)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:10:75:1a:c1:85", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"

I don't have any problem to use the same USB stick on multiple Dockstars. As Jeff said, you need to install uboot on every Dockstar in order to boot into the OS. The uboot is on the Dockstar, not on the USB.

you want to make sure that all those lines are 'commented out' (with a # in front of them).

let the system auto discover its own eth0 and life will be simpler that way.

I thought this problem has already been resolved. Please see http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,454,499#msg-499.
I think this is only happens on Squeeze. Lenny is fine.

In /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Edit and add an # to the start of lines with 'eth' at the end like this :-

# Unknown net device (/devices/platform/mv643xx_eth_port.0/net/eth0) (mv643xx_eth_port)
#SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:10:75:1a:d5:e8", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"



Then edit /lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules and change the 'e' in 'eth' to a capital 'E' like this

# device name whitelist
KERNEL!="Eth*|ath*|wlan*[0-9]|msh*|ra*|sta*|ctc*|lcs*|hsi*", \

This will solve the problem of not being able to use the pen drive on different dockstars

I've setup a 2nd Dockstar using the Debian USB stick from my first Dockstar.

Worked great after installing UBoot as described in Jeff's script

wget -P /tmp http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh
chmod +x /tmp/install_uboot_mtd0.sh
/tmp/install_uboot_mtd0.sh --noprompt
