The thing is all the other drives that I tried using are absolutely blank, freshly formatted to ext3. Just had an idea, im going to make a new OS drive. Its the only thing that has not changed in all these tests. Thinking it may be some compatibility problem with this specific flash drive. I'll let you know if it works. Edit: Looks like my theory was incorrect. Tried a new flash drive wiby shatterstar78 - Debian

Well I have the latest Debian installed on a flash drive, and it works perfectly. But if I try to boot with a secound USB device attached, it then fails to boot. This is the error I get DRAM: 128 MiB NAND: 128 MiB In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: Led: GREEN mii0 Main Loop Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 (Re)start USB...

Unfortunately I don't have any of those devices. But I do have a serial cable and I made a full NAND backup. So if I get in trouble hopefully that will be enough to get me back up and running.by shatterstar78 - Debian

Cool Thanks. First of all i'm very new to Linux in genaral, so please excuse my ignorance if this sounds stupid. So if going with the SATA boot does anything need to be touched on a stock Pogoplug V3 clasic other than the "Boot envs"?by shatterstar78 - Debian
Just wondering if its possible to Install Debian to SATA on a Pogoplug V3?by shatterstar78 - Debian
