@restamp I couldnt get it to work using ntp, so I reverted to using ntpdate.by bharath - uBoot
I just installed ntpdate and that seems to resolve the issue time being set. Need to figure out issue on startpar failures.by bharath - uBoot
But if you see the earlier syslog that I posted you will see that ntpd does start off.by bharath - uBoot
I am running rsyslog that was /var/log/syslog, It is not much different from /var/log/messages Here is /var/log/messages: http://pastebin.com/TkWaZGucby bharath - uBoot
There is nothing in the syslog that stands out to me, may be you could spot something that I am missing. syslog: http://pastebin.com/aRA1a5c6by bharath - uBoot
I have upgraded to wheezy without any issues, for one to upgrade you need to install libaccept4 and do the following 1) Create /etc/ld.so.preload 2) Edit /etc/init.d/udev and edit the unsupported kernel check to not include 2.6.31 I need to resolve a few issues, any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated 1) findfs is reporting it cant resolve the UUID of my rootfs for some reason asby bharath - uBoot
IIRC wheezy uses udev-175 are there any changes that on needs to watch out for?by bharath - uBoot
I have the plans of upgrading my pro to wheezy, I just havent had the time to mess with it. I will see if I can get some time this weekend and do the needful to update. I have a serial console so if it breaks I should be able to at least find out what is going wrong.by bharath - uBoot
Have you ensured that libaccept4 is part of /etc/ld.so.preload setup correctly?by bharath - uBoot
I figured out the issue. The problem being that varkey's rootfs actually has all the kernel modules uncompressed. This causes it to load the older kernel modules in some instances causing everything to break.by bharath - uBoot
I had to revert back to ALARM as pogo it serves my media. I will try to switch it back to debian and get the oops.by bharath - uBoot
I replaced /lib/modules/2.6.31.6_SMP_820 with the newer modules. The old kernel and old modules boot file, but when I try the newer kernel with newer modules I have an oops once the network is up.by bharath - uBoot
I tried the updated ALARM kernel with debian, unfortunately the instant the network comes up I have an oops. Does one require libaccept4 to use the newer kernel?by bharath - uBoot
If you have a working rootfs on the USB drive you can use that as the rootfs for the SATA drive as well. I am not sure what the current status of 3.x kernel is for oxnas that warheadsse was working on.by bharath - uBoot
I dont think it is going to be any different from booting of the USB. At the end of the day the root partition will have the debian filesystem instead of archlinux.by bharath - uBoot
Great news, I just got varkeys rootfs setup on a usb key now. Will test it out for a few days and if all is good migrate to debian. I guess starting from scratch rootfs using debootstrap might have significant issues due to conflicts. Hopefully all the other packages that dont depend on udev get easily upgraded.by bharath - uBoot
@bodhi this great news that you are using wheezy with debian. Any specific things to take care off?by bharath - uBoot

I have been using archlinux on my pogoplugpro for a while. I am thinking of migrating it to either debian or ubuntu, the main reason for this switch being I am very comfortable using debian and its derivatives. I was thinking of using varkey's rootfs which I believe is based off squeeze. Obviously we have wheezy round the corner, which would mean support for squeeze is numbered.
