Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 2 years ago
yeah I get that, the problem is that he has the new uboot, but old envs. his envs from serial are as follows: M300> printenv baudrate=115200 bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $(mtdparts) earlyprintk=serial bootargs_console=console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=spi_flash:0x7f000@0(uboot),0x1000@0x7f000(u-boot-env) root=LABEL=root rw bootcmd=run kernel_config; run seby sudos - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 2 years ago
Bodhi, I'm about to drop a blog post regarding the M300 up onto wordpress, and I'm noticing the install guide linked in the OP post is outdated. Would you be willing to update the guide post so it's up to date for mentioning the current rootfs and current 2022-04 u-boot build further up this page? it also seems I sold a few of my friends on buying one to mess around with, so havby sudos - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 2 years ago
After sending the last post I found a copper shim in my parts bin, I don't recall exactly where I got it from... but it was the right thickness to place between the SoC and the steel chassis being used as a heatsink. I believe it came from ebay nearly a decade ago to replace a thermal pad in a laptop that died before it could get the shim installed. for future reference, I believe the shiby sudos - Debian

Re: Mail server pogoplug pro v3 - 2 years ago
did you make sure you had swap space set up? while an old PC would do the job, something a bit more power efficient like a dell kace which has more RAM available to it might be a better option now that there's uboot for it and most of the kinks are worked out (so long as you're using 5.15.5 for the kernel at time of post.) the problem of course is the old PC costs $0 and the Kace isby sudos - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 3 years ago
yeah I just downgraded to 5.15.5 on the kace for now, Pogo v4 and E02 will continue on with 5.16.5. looking into it a bit further and it seems like kswapd panics are usually caused by the ram not pushing to swap fast enough or too fast... which shouldn't be the case here because of the overkill SSD.

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 3 years ago
A couple fun things happened over the past few days after the uboot upgrade. One was a kernel panic and the other was a situation where I rebooted the Kace and it didn't activate the eth interface properly and just sat there lights-out with the system LED solid white. I dropped syslog-ng on from the start so I've got logs of the panic but not much else: Mar 24 22:01:09 yamada kby sudos - Debian

[SOLVED} Pogoplug V4 upgrade problem - 7 years ago
Hi there! it's Pogoplug update time again with the V4! I did a full dist-upgrade from Wheezy-lts to Stretch and ended up having to upgrade Uboot and my kernel in the mix, and it's been a long, long while. before this, the box was up for two years, if you can believe it. anyways, when it tries to boot the latest kernel after following the instructions for making a uImage with the eby sudos - Debian

Okay, I have a fun one for you... I have a Pogoplug V4, ran Wheezy on it via the rootfs image and installed to the hard drive (250GB) on the SATA port. went through your steps from the 7th but ended up doing step 4A when I should have done 4B. now in the serial console, I get this: U-Boot 2014.07-tld-1 (Jul 18 2014 - 00:59:45) Pogoplug V4 SoC: Kirkwood 88F6192_A1 DRAM: 128 MiB Wby sudos - Debian
