Boot Problems Pogoplug E02

Hello guys,

I have run into a problem with my Pogoplug. Until yesterday I was running the Arch Linux build which worked perfectly for me. But yesterday I tried to reboot and now I can't ssh into my system anymore.
So I started to reinstall Arch with these instructions: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray.
The installation works flawlessly but after "/sbin/reboot/" I am not able to get a ping from the Pogoplug.

I also activated netconsole and it gives me the following output:

Is this the problem? And when yes, how do I resolve it?

Thank you for reading.

have exactly the same problems after installing the new uboot from http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray.
My pogoplug is halting after 'Starting Kernel...', no dmesg-ish output whatsoever.
I read more people with this problem:

* some of them got it after upgrading their kernel (chrooted and down/upgraded with older/bugfixed version)

However, Im not one of them, I simply ran the uboot installerscript, which doesnt seem to load my kernel properly anymore.
I have the feeling as if some uboot fw_setenv-settings are missing, to get a rootfs going.
Im hoping to solve this one without serial cable.

Any help appreciated.

ok, I decided to give up..
Usually that is a good thing, because it opens new doors.
I decided to try flash my pogoplug e02 with the latest uboot, which did not boot the original pogoOS *and* my old archlinux.
So..I officially messed things up :)

So..in a moment of despair, I decided to give debian squeeze another go (Tried it before, did not work).
Anyways, I got debian squeeze working right now with this link:

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096,12096#msg-12096

^--- that is exactly how it went. With my latest uboot installed, I untarred it to a new usbdisk.
Now I will migrate my old archlinux usbdisk step by step to debian squeeze.
Im gonna backup all my installationfiles + tutorial, and never touch uboot again..Im getting too old for these kind of surprises :D

IMPORTANT: all of you who are experiencing 'Starting kernel ...' being the last netconsole message: THIS IS NORMAL.
It doesnt have to mean anything (which I thought for a while).
When I could login to my debian squeeze box, I realized that it stopped outputting anything after 'Starting Kernel ...', so I guess people with the
serial console have more output compared to networked netconsole. Or my uboot settings are corrupt..who knows.

hope this helps anyone

You can interrupt netconsole, and execute
printenv
post the out put here, and we'll take a look if anything missing!

Hey guys,

thank you very much for the answers. I managed to install debian with the instructions from bodhis thread and could finally ssh into my pogo.
Now I use debian instead of arch :)
