I can't get netconsole to work on my E02 pogoplug for anything. I used the exact same commands (substituting the IPs) and i dont see any activity in nc on the server. One thing I noticed is that when i put in fw_setenv if_netconsole 'ping $serverip' it removes the single quotes. Is this a problem and if so, how do i force them in? edit: nevermind i tried it from a different seby joebob2000 - Debian
Nevermind. Boy do I know how to ruin a friday. I moved the plug (hence the cold boot) and the patch port doesnt work (it worked with the pc that was sitting there so i just assumed) which naturally stopped it from showing itself on the network.

Is there an auto-generated install log file and is there any chance it is put onto the flash drive? I have the flash drives with the bad install on them still, but i don't think i can recreate the issue to log it manually because i already put the recovery image on the plug so the original OS is gone. I will try later today to do the same squeeze install from the recovery image, just to seby joebob2000 - Debian
Thanks for the info to the guys who posted in this thread. I had the exact same issue with my Pogoplug-E01 after trying 4 different brands of flash media and going through Jeff's instructions to the letter 4 times through, thinking I was missing something stupid. One time booting with the dumped filesystem and poof, "debian" shows up in my dhcp list! Is there any good explanatioby joebob2000 - Debian
