trying to upgrade PogoPlug E02
November 18, 2019 10:03PM
I was following the UBoot instructions from an older pogoplug I had set up here back in 2014-15, I think the pendrive eventually went bad. I was still able to boot into the stock pogo OS and was following these instructions . I noticed I didn't have an /boot folder towards the end, setup netconsole and rebooted. Below is the output from booting.
Where did I go wrong?

wooglez,

The USB rootfs you are using is not good. The kernel files were not found from that.

Try create a new rootfs using Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 from the release thread:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Scroll down to the section

Updated 25 Aug 2019:

Basic Debian buster Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs:

- tarball size: 209M
- install size: 536M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see note 2 below.
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, dialog, bzip2, nfs server/client, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, sysvinit-utils, u-boot-tools, and mtd-utils.
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/init.d/halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root

Your u-boot install seems to be OK. So it should boot the new rootfs.

Hey @bodhi,

Yea I was just coming here to update this post, I decided to follow the rootfs tutorial next and after doing so on my new usb device it booted like a charm.
Would be nice to let new or returning users know what order the process should be for updating devices, UBoot first then rootfs especially since some of the end instructions for Uboot mention modifying (the dtb step) /boot but you don't have that folder until you run through the rootfs install procedure.

anyhow it's booted now!

Hey @bodhi you may want to add a section in the rootfs tutorial about running ntpdate for first login after ssh-keys cuz otherwise apt-get will screw up.

wooglez,

Glad to hear!

I know it is a little bit disjoint when u-boot and Debian roots are in different release threads! It's an internal debate from time to time for me, as how best to go forward.

U-boot can be used in many different distros (Arch, OpenWRt, Ubuntu, Void, Fedora....), not just Debian. So that's why it was separated in the beginning.
