blparam errors followed by Unknown uBoot detected on mtd0

blparam errors followed by Unknown uBoot detected on mtd0
September 21, 2010 01:33AM
Here's what's happening on my Dockstar (it's my first time trying to mod an embedded device and my Linux knowledge is weak). The first time I tried the install the prompt was bash: - after a reboot the prompt changed to PogoPlug: - not sure if this matters or not. Please tell me how to get past these error and get it installed. I'm hesitant on using the no uboot check parameter since I don't think I've installed anything yet. Thanks!


Would you like to disable the pogoplug services? [Y/n] y

##
## The installer could not detect the version of your current uBoot
## This may happen if you have installed a different uBoot on
## /dev/mtd0 or if you have bad blocks on /dev/mtd0
##
## If you have bad blocks on mtd0, you should not try to install uBoot.
##
## If you have installed a diffirent uBoot on mtd0, and understand the
## risks, you can re-run the installer with the --no-uboot-check parameter
##
## Installation cancelled.

I've updated the installer to fix this.

Thanks Jeff. I removed the installer by running
rm install_uboot_mtd0.sh

...then I followed these instructions again
cd /tmp
wget http://plugapps.com/os/pogoplug/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh
chmod +x install_uboot_mtd0.sh
./install_uboot_mtd0.sh

...and I received the exact same errors as I pasted previous output. I'm just back to the Pogoplug: prompt. Could you please tell me any other options I can try?

Thanks!
i am getting this error on a brand new pogoplug - any ideas?
