Yep! it's possible to run OpenMediaVault on your GoFlex Home (probably GoFlex Net and Dockstar also). There is an excellent tutorial over on the OpenMediaVault fourm at: http://forums.openmediavault.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=514 Be sure to read the entire for tutorial first. There are a few things that may not work as advertised. I had some problems with getting the openmediavault keby maihoaomv - Off-Topic
Bodhi nc -up 6666 192.168.1.103 6666 worked like a charm. I reflashed the NAND from the rescue command line. I also chose to reset the variables to default. I must not have done that the first time I flashed it. So now I get the autoboot countdown on the serial console and it stops with CTRL-J. Is it normal for the boot up on the console to differ from the boot up on netconsole? Thanks for yby maihoaomv - uBoot
I tried the CTRL-J multiple times but nothing happens. I tried using C-KERMIT, MINICOM and GKTTERM with no results. there is a long delay, which I assume, is the countdown before it starts loading the kernel. It appears that during boot it is not accepting keyboard input. Once the kernel starts to load the keyboard works. I have stderr, stdout and stdin redirected to serial in the variables.

I know this is a dumb question but how do I stop the boot process? It goes from the version strings straight into decompressing the kernel I don't understand how to stop it. Pressing "anykey" doesn't seem to work. this is all I get on boot.

Optim Thanks. I think that is what I'm looking for. I forgot to mention that I'm running the current uboot "U-Boot 2011.12 (Apr 18 2012 - 23:08:20)" with v2.8.1 rescue installed in mtd1 and mtd2 rather than Jeff's older .6 uboot, which as Juan says, would boot from the rescue usb first if present. Unfortunately the alarm rescue usb will not boot with the newer version ofby maihoaomv - uBoot
Does anyone have an answer to Juan's question? I'm also running ArchLinux on the GFH hard drive. I'd like to be able plug a USB in and boot from it without having to remove the hard drive. I don't understand how to set up the environment variables so I'm reluctant to experiment with them too much in fear of getting locked out and being unable to boot anything.

I finally got my GFH to boot debian 3.3.2 kernel from the hard drive. One of the problems I'm having is that during boot it refuses to fsck.

I've got the same problem on my GoFlex Home as techrat in his post "Ping OK - SSH Connection Refused - What Next???" at http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,6249,6252#msg-6252 I flub'd it when I tried to flash the rescue onto the NAND. Now it will boot to the USB, the led is green and steady, I can ping it either by IP or rescue.local. I can see "local" on my networby maihoaomv - Rescue System
