First, thanks to all who did this possible, it's a great work! :)
I got my dockstar from ebay, I think it was not updated, as I could SSH to it and disable the pogoplug updater:
killall hbwd
mount -o remount,rw /
vi /etc/init.d/rcS
and change "/etc/init.d/hbmgr.sh start" to "#/etc/init.d/hbmgr.sh start"
Then, I tried the scripts for lenny, squeeze and wheezy, but none worked at all.
Those were the scripts I tried until now:
http://projects.doozan.com/debian/kirkwood.debian-wheezy.sh
http://projects.doozan.com/debian/dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
http://ss4200.homelinux.com/dockstar/gogo-dock.sh
http://dev.shyd.de/dockstar/dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh
http://projects.doozan.com/debian/dockstar.debian-lenny.sh
I tried with different USB drives, but nothing changed.
Basically, what I did for each install was:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin:/sbin
mount -o remount,rw /
rm /usr/sbin/debootstrap
rm -r /usr/share/debootstrap
(This was to ensure that there was a clean installation of debootstrap for each script)
wget
http://script_name
chmod 777 script_name
./script_name
blah blah type warning are your sure, type "ok"--> ok
blah blah lots of stuff but no errors or warnings
Want to reboot? Y/n -->Y
After the reboot, the led blinks green, then blinks orange while it loads from the USB drive (the drive's led blinks too), after 15 seconds it stops and remains solid green.
But I can't connect to it, my router doesn't have anything than my computer on DHCP leases. Tried a network scan but nothing was found.
Reading my router log shows the LAN port where the dockstar is connected going up and down every few minutes.
I tried editing /etc/network/interfaces in the USB contents and set this: (my router address is set to 192.168.1.2)
# iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.1.2
dns-nameserver 192.168.1.2
But still doesn't work. I can't ping nor SSH to dockstar.
I remove the USB and reboot, and I'm again on pogoplug firm.
Any hints? Currently I don't have any serial adapter (It broke down), so I'm waiting for them coming from ebay (china)...still 3 weeks left, or so.
Thanks!
