Chris, If you have installed UBoot and Debian on you Pink Pogoplug V2 with Jeff's script following this instruction: http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/ Then you could reinstall without risking hosing UBoot. Jeff's script detects UBoot version and if it's what the script expects to see, it will skip it. First try to reboot without the stick, see if you get back into Pogo OS. Oby bodhi - Debian
Hi guys, My Pogoplug Pink is currently Linux Debian 3.1.9-kirkwood #1 Mon Jan 16 13:45:21 UTC 2012 armv5tel GNU/Linux I'm trying to compile debian using this source: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v3.0/linux-3.1.10.tar.bz2 I copied the config file from the current /boot directory to /usr/src/.config /boot/config-3.1.9-kirkwood and did not change anything relatedby bodhi - Debian
Jussi, I don't think it's a problem either. As long as you're certain that the router assigns the same IP addresses for the Dockstar and the Ubuntu desktop every time you boot up then the netconsole set up is OK. The fw_printenvs output looks fine to me also. Since you're new to Linux, perhaps you should go through the full installation for Debian first using a USB sticby bodhi - uBoot
Jussi, sorry I have to ask these basic questions re your netconsole setup. Sometime we just overlook these minor details! - Did you double check your Ubuntu desktop IP that it's really 192.168.1.181? - And also the Dockstar IP 192.168.1.142? Did you set your router to assign this IP to the Dockstar every time it's up?by bodhi - uBoot
Jussi, :-) If you have Ubuntu then just open a terminal, follow the Jeff's instruction above for netconsole. It should be straight forward for Ubuntu. It's on the desktop side. The harder part is setting it up on the Dockstar side. You will have to download the fw_env tools to be able to set it up. If you found it in /usr/sbin then the command should be Pogoplug:~$ /usr/sby bodhi - uBoot
Jussi, It's hard to tell. Usually if you see LED light flashing for a while during boot, and then turns off, it's "likely" that the booting is not a problem, but possibly there is some problem with the rootfs on the USB drive or the drive itself that UBoot does not like. Since you're booting the Pogo stock, you can set up netconsole to observe the booting process and sby bodhi - uBoot
Jussi, Sure, you can boot other other systems on the Dockstar using Jeff's UBoot. I looked the PirateBox instructions, very interesting! If you've done the USB installation for PirateBox, and still can't boot USB, then the next thing to try: At the Pogoplug OS command prompt, do warm reboot (i.e. /sbin/reboot, or shutdown -r now). Usually, if the USB stick's brand is onby bodhi - uBoot
Jussi, Did you use this instruction to install UBoot and Debian Squeeze from Jeff: http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/ If you did not then what system do you have on the USB stick?by bodhi - uBoot
I think that command prompt (Pogoplug:~$) most certainly is the Pogo stock system! Jussi, make sure you are in /tmp directory before downloading.by bodhi - uBoot
Hi Dave, Thank you for all the hard works! is there any plan to automate the installation (similar to Jeff's install_uboot_mtd0.sh)? bodhiby bodhi - uBoot
Actually it's not how you mounted the HDDs, it's because how the drives shared by samba under /media. Samba reports the size of the disk where /media is located, which is a "wrong" size to report. If you share the drives directly (in smb.conf) then they will be shown with the correct size from a remote PC. Look in /etc/init.d/samba/smb.conf to see if /media is the only folderby bodhi - Debian

Here is the work around I came up for aumounting HFSplus drive as Read/Write. It seems to work fine. I've only tested by transferring a few small and few large files. So far no problem with Writes. IMPORTANT: it is explicitly stated in the man page for Debian HFSplus package that Write capability is still experimental and unsupported. So my intention is to use the HFSplus formatted driveby bodhi - Debian
Did you capture the log of what was showing on the screen? It would be very helpful to know at which point the error occurred, and when you cancelled the script.by bodhi - Debian
I got it working. Hope this will help others looking for a solution. The real problem here was the WirelessMode. It was set to a default value of 9 (which is mixed g/b/n). My wireless network is n-only. So it was never get attached to the Access Point. Setting it to 6 (n only) got it running. ifconfig ra0 up sleep 3 #iwpriv ra0 set WirelessMode=Managed iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPA2by bodhi - Debian
I've been trying too, without success either! here is my description of the problem (I posted this at the ArchLinux ARM site). Just to summarize my observation here: I finally figured out what might have been the problem, but no idea how to solve it. For some reason, these iwpriv commands were accepted by the driver, but not updated somehow (I have these commands in a script that execuby bodhi - Debian
@Rat, Sorry, Off Topic for a moment, did you get the heartbeat implemented in the later kernel version? some kernel version (e.g. 3.x.x) does not generate the delay on/off trigger. I hope the heartbeat LED is going to be put back, I surely miss it :-) Here is the old thread, in case you want to revisit it: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,3521,3545#msg-3545 Thanksby bodhi - Debian

kraqh3d, I thought you might find this problem interesting and could give me some help. I've changed the automount rules to do these: - async/sync (we took care of this) - mount Mac OSX HFS+ partitions as read/write and ignore the EFI boot partition on those HFS+ drives. The part that I can't make it work is forcing the HFS+ partition to be mounted as read-write, using pmount.by bodhi - Debian
Suggestion: I would try to remove the HDD from fstab and mount it manually later to see what'll happen (keep the Colby attached). If that solve the problem then it will be easier to figure out what was causing the behavior. The worst case, you can automate the HDD mounting in rc.local. I have a GoFlex Net that boots from USB flash, and no fstab entry for any HDD, so I mount whatever HDDby bodhi - Debian
Funtoy, Looks like the net console output was when you put the boot USB drive on the top port (with the adapter)? and it did boot the kernel. How long did you wait after that? I would wait at least 5 minutes! to see if the kernel eventually finishes coming up. I ran into a weird problem that a warm boot took 5 minutes, and the extra 4 minutes was after rc.local has been completed. Addendumby bodhi - Debian
I think the USB hub counts as devices? The Dockstar has 1 root hub and 1 4-port hub. So that would make the total 6. And you have 2 storage devices, which would be the only candidates in the booting sequence.by bodhi - Debian
