Hmmm, ok so let me double check I have all the physical stuff correct because I think I have this all done but my server seems to keep stopping and getting errors that it cannot be restarted as I test things. But the bigger issue I think is this serial comm connection, I can interrupt the UBOOT bootup but I cannot seem to get text to type or paste about 40% of the time and occationally because Iby KodexMedia - Debian
Ok i've figured out finding the serial which was ttyUSB0 and I was able to get that up and running with "sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200,cs8" and view the UBOOT bootup cycle that repeats and stop the process. I was able to copy the files to /tftproot last night and there still there. I just have to find out why the server doesn't see the pings and I think I am ready toby KodexMedia - Debian
I'm mostly doing it to be sure I don't make any errors. Its quick and simple enough and then I can copy the instructions without accidentally using the wrong number. I got the packages installed. I think I have the server all set but the ping goes 100% fail so trying to figure out if I missed something. Then find a manual for the tftp-hpa client, it says no man available when i do "by KodexMedia - Debian
Ahh ok, thank you. That makes more sense. I havn't been using a router but luckily I just turned an old Netgear into a DD-WRT so I can set the IP to 192.168.0.1 and I think I already had it set for my computer to be 192.168.0.100 so that will help make things much easier. I'm loooking over the commands and info about tftp-hba and tftpd-hpa as the tftp server and host. Now have my liby KodexMedia - Debian

Here is the fresh bootup screen from the serial, I'm assuming since it says v1.0.0 I cannot use the ext4 filesystem until after I get Debian to boot. _ _ _ _ | \/ | _ _ _ __ _____| | | | |\/| |/ _` | '___\ \ / / _ \ | | | | | | (_| | | \ V / __/ | | |_| |_|\,_|_|_| \_/ \___|_|_| _ _ ____ _ | | | | | __ )by KodexMedia - Debian
bodhi, Ok so I think I may be missing some important step or perhaps doing something out of the proper order. I keep getting a few errors but I'm assuming the most important is the first to show after the reboot following all the code > printenv > boot. I noticed a lot of mention of ext2 in that link and in my UBOOT screen so I was trying variations of using ext2, ext3 but I seemby KodexMedia - Debian

Hi, bodhi, Thank you for the pointers, I know its a very old machine. But the build quality seems top notch! Yes that was exactly the spot I was questioning, I think after a lot of searching and going in circles with links in the forums that I only need to worry about the installation steps here https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 and your help now got me past the only real hurdle Iby KodexMedia - Debian
Could someone help me understand the difference/why I would want Method 1 (USB support) vs Method 3 (sata/ide command support). My device is the ix4-200d and I would prefer to keep USB support to add more drives but not vital with USB 2.0. What would I need/benefit from using Method 3 with sata (IDE command)? And if I choose Method 3 would I then loose support for USB totally? If so I assumeby KodexMedia - Debian
If anyone has had any luck or insight to the ix4-200d (32mb nand, non cloud version) I have been trying to recover to a working unit and I have done so from scratch using USB to TTL and the steps & files in this "tutorial" https://cloudkid.fr/install-iomega-ix4-200-d-firmware/ and have been able to find a ton of links/info/tips etc that has been incredibly hard to sort out.
