bodhi, So I got it working!!! I looked at the /var/log folder and found it was booting the kernel and logging to dmesg and looked ok. I suspect the issue was some network / DHCP related issue, my router had been playing up (its web ui was inaccessible) but otherwise it was working so I hadnt worried about it too much. As a last resort I rebooted my router, rebooted the pogoplug and voilla, itby purplelizard - uBoot
bodhi, Yes I was root on the setup machine (laptop running debian) when I did the usb copy. I have tried both ext2 on a usb drive and ext3 (switching rootfstype with setenv during boot) on an sd card, same result with both.

Hi all, hope you can help. Awsome job on suporting debian on these devices! I followed all the steps on http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 to install uboot - it worked great, I have uboot running and can interact with it via nc. I then tried creating my kernel on a usb stick following http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 So, it was a little unclear about how to partition the drive,by purplelizard - uBoot
