Can't boot into Plug OS (Debian works)

I've successfully installed Debian Sqeeze (thanks to jeff :) ). But now, Plug OS does not start when the USB stick is removed. The LED flashes a while in green, then a while in orange, then green again an so on (tried it for about 12 hours, nothing happens). When I plug the stick to it and reboot it, it starts Debian.

Whats wrong with it?! Everything works fine except booting into Plug OS :( What can I do to get Plug OS back?

Thanks for help.

Could it be that the PlugOS has a different IP?

Hopefully you found an answer to this. On mine, I had one IP for the debian boot and another for the pogo plug boot. This is before I made changes to my network config.

The reason for this (I think) is pogo boots with no hostname and debian boots with "debian" as the host name. My linksys box gave each one a different IP address.

Best bet is to look at what addresses have been assigned by DHCP in your router config (if you can).

Thanks for the help. The IP should be the same, I've used the dockstar with the original Pogoplug service/tools before I installed Debian, and my DHCP didn't show a new IP.

In the meantime I have bricked my dockstar. Someone in another forum said, I can copy back my backup-files with "dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=mtd0.img" (for all 4 files). After I did this, the dockstar was dead. No blinking LED, no boot, no nothing :(

It may be, that the NAND-flash was faulty. I had three dockstars, the first one still runs fine, the second one was faulty (did not boot because of NAND-CRC errors) and the third one was the one this thread is about.

Now I've bought a cheap Intel Atom system that works fine.

"dd if=/dev/mtd0 of=mtd0.img" would only backup again. If you want to copy back your backups, it should be like that: "dd of=/dev/mtd0 if=mtd0.img" (if and of swapped). I don´t know what went wrong.

Sorry, you're right, I did dd if=mtd0.img of=/dev/mtd0
Maybe there was really a problem with the NAND flash...

You should use "nandwrite" instead of "dd" to write to NAND flash, since it knows how to handle the ECC (no relation :-) and possible bad blocks.

Hi noplan

Does the u-Boot still working?
If the u-boot still work then you can try what I did on mine,,

Hi,

I don't know. After reading tons of hints in the internet, hours and hours in SSH and finally a bricked dockstar, I gave my dockstar away.
The CA-42 costs around 5$, thats half the price of your dockstar :) so I didn't try a serial connection.

Hope this post may help: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,270,442#msg-442
