Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 13 years ago
Did you all use insmod or modprobe? If you used modprobe, did you do a "depmod -a" before that? Were the modules placed under /lib/modules/2.6.31.6_SMP_820 ? If all this was done, and you are still getting symbols not found, then the modules were not compiled with the same kernel options. You may have to compile your own modules.by oddballhero - uBoot

Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 13 years ago
Sorry Bodhi, I forgot to add. It seems that previous owners of registered pogoplugs. I guess that must be anybody who turned on SSH at their interface should have gotten a 50% or 40% off discount in their email. I got a 50% one but have to pay for shipping. WarheadsSE on pogoplugged.com mentions that he got 40% but with free shipping. Must be randomized. Anyway you got enough pogoplugs thaby oddballhero - uBoot

Still don't know what uboot it comes with. Basically, no mention of what is in NAND. Might need a variation of Jeff's uboot (at least more of a possibility than with the OXNAS).

Thanks for the immediate response Bodhi! As I mentioned before mtdblock0 and mtdblock1 are both in pogoplug nand and are the location of the uboot and kernel, respectively.by oddballhero - uBoot
Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 13 years ago
When you type in "mount", what is the output (please copy and paste) also your /etc/fstab? mtdblock0 and mtdblock1 is the uboot and kernel respectively in nand space. Your system shouldn't be accessing it. Bodhi, Varkey, are you all getting the same errors?by oddballhero - uBoot
