Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago

its okay, we dont have to mess with this anymore. i just wanted to see if the m300 would boot a larger drive. i went ahead and pulled out a 500 gig regular sata drive from the milk crate full of old laptop drives and set it up as a test and it booted. so there must be something wrong with the ssd 256 gig i guess. doesnt make sense as to why it boots from usb but not the internal sata port.

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 1 year ago

works fine with the 128 gig drive both ways. so i re-did the 256 gig ssd again , same thing happens and it times out when hooked to the sata port, when i hook it to a usb to sata connector it does boot from usb port. here is the logs.

Re: Pogoplug No Longer Allows You to Enable SSH ?? - 1 year ago

so i got a Pogoplug series 4 pogo-v4.a3.01 off ebay for 5 bucks. read some stuff here in the forums. soldered a uart cable, enabled ssh. just for the heck of it, can https: / port 443 be re-enabled to toy around with the backdoor from the web interface? only ports that are open are 22, 23, 80, 3333, 3334.
