@InfoScav, See here for serial console parts: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?8,13263 Yes, you can just SSH in and install it in Pogo OS. Serial console is just a precaution in case something goes wrong while flashing u-boot.by bodhi - Debian

I've realized I've missed this question! the reason you have problem loading this command because it is part of the u-boot build. It is not in Debian repository.

Yes it does, but in reverse. u-boot envs are always checked before anything else.

afuchs, Because of there are 2 partitions on the disks, it might have caused the problem with mounting rootfs. it is best to try these (in order): 1. Create a USB drive with only 1 partiiton that contains the rootfs extracted to it (remember to use the embedded uImage approach). Also, be sure to do this as root. And boot with it. 2. If that does not work, look at this partition labelby bodhi - Debian

Zyxel Nsa325 & 320 users, Here are the latest NSA325 and NSA320 U-Boot-2014.07 for testing before release.

JanN, I'm going to release a new test version for NSA320 and NSA325 u-boot (2014.07) soon. WarheadsSE did mention some odd behaviour in that if you disconnect serial console, the NSA320 is not booting. But all that might be related to the stock u-boot quirk in USB power (I could be wrong). I can't give any advice on stock u-boot. IMO, we should just ignore its problem and flash tby bodhi - Debian
Hey Joey, Remember about how long did it take for you to be well verse in Windows (I mean the admin stuff)? It will take time to get use to embedded Linux.

LeggoMyEggo, > I loaded the latest u-boot and created uEnv.txt in > /boot and IT WORKED ! :) Cool :) > bootcmd=run dt_bootcmd_usb I don't think it is needed, or will take effect at all, since the uEnv.txt is loaded as part of the default bootcmd (but it does not hurt anything).

Joey, Here is another option: the GoFlex Desk Base with USB 3.0. A lot of people bought the GF Desk to use the internal 3.5" HDD, and then sell the base on eBay. You might be able to get it cheaper than the adapter in your link. And the bonus is USB 3.0 i/f, just in case you ever get the Pogoplug V4, or connect it to a USB 3.0 port on PC/Mac. And no worry about the correct power source.by bodhi - Off-Topic

Was the usb formatted as EXT3? did you create the rootfs while logged in as root? and did you do a few sync commands before unmounting the USB drive? After that have been verified and it still has problem mounting rootfs. Then use the label approach: QuoteAnd see "B.

FelipeC, Unplug everything else but the USB rootfs and reboot. The SD card presents has caused problem booting (need more envs adjustment if you want to boot with both plugged in). And see "B.
