New dockstar install not working?
May 28, 2013 08:23PM
All, this is my second plug project. My first Pogo is still running strong. I opened the box on a new dockstar this weekend and proceeded to follow the instructions using Jeff's installer. All went well exactly as expected until the reboot.... It will not reboot into debian. I have re-installed multiple times trying Lenny, Wheezy and Squeeze. Using a good usb stick.

boot loader seems to be fine...

Any ideas?

Installation: 

- format a new ext3 USB drive, and label it rootfs. Note: if your uBoot env for usb_rootfstype is ext2, then use an ext2 USB drive.
