Of course. The easiest solution is to replace pogoplug firmware with jeff's rescue system v.2. If you use install script some enviroment variables will change and you'll be able to boot from NAND.

The install script also checks that you have the lastest jeff uboot, as it seems you have, and could ask for reset enviroment to jeff's default. In general it would be a good idea to say yes here.

If you choose to keep pogo firmware it would be a good idea to reflash mtd1 & mtd2 partitions (kernel and rootfs). Look at google or search in this forum!

hi pazos,
many tks for your help, but it is quiet difficult to understand what you mean for the newbit i am. What you suggest is
1/replace pogoplug firmware using a script (eff's rescue system v.2).
ok, this seems to be what i have to do. will try to find this scipt.
2/keep pogo firmware.
no, but i am not really sure to understand what it is. will look for on google.

will let you know.
Arnaud

re
1/ by 'Jeff's rescue system v.2' did you mean using this script ?

cd /tmp
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/rescue/install_rescue.sh
chmod +x install_rescue.sh
./install_rescue.sh

is that all i have to do ?
Tks.
Arnaud

YES!!!!!!

hi all

done, but don't know what is the aim of this. now my DS does not boot anymore on my usb disk :(

i launched the install_rescue.sh script, and all was ok.

therefore, i rebooted it.

and now, it works only on "rescue:~# ".

what did i missed ? i did not see anything wrong during install rescue run.

Many tks.
Arnaud

Uboot tries to boot from usb. If it doesn't find any capable usb to boot from uboot it starts the rescue system.

Please post your uboot enviroment (on your rescue system write: "fw_printenv > enviroment.txt" and attach the "enviroment.txt" file on a post here.

It seems to be fine!...

Your USB must boot! .. If doesn't try to replace with another stick...

Pazos,
this is quiet strange because, before applying the rescue script, the DS was booting on the usb and not without it.
now, it boots on DS, and not on USB stick :(
Anyway, in this status (rescue applyied), can i install a new debian on a empty external usb hard drive ?

Tks.
Arnaud

hi all,
any more information.

hi all, solved !
finaly, a copy/paste in my procedure was bad !
tks all.
Arnaud

I'm curious to know what error you made as I haven't installed the rescue system yet. Why couldn't you boot from usb after installing the rescue system? Looking at your output above, it looked like your usb stick was faulty.

well, a carriage return appeared in
/usr/bin/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs -d /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-dockstar /boot/uInitrd
so it was not correctly played :(. it was so stupid !

sincerly.
Arnaud
