Ok, I modified it. But there's still one point where the script is hanging: debian:/tmp$ ./install_rescue.sh This script will install a rescue system on your NAND. It will OVERWRITE ALL OF THE POGOPLUG FILES. This script will replace the kernel on on mtd1 and the rootfs on mtd2. This installer will only work on a Seagate Dockstar or Pogoplug Pink.

If you wan't to automount external drives you need following: debian:~$ blkid /dev/sda1: LABEL="MP3" UUID="cf17ed2b-fb8a-49cf-bb75-adfe52bf7849" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sda2: LABEL="Data" UUID="323852e7-6e71-4277-bf25-d9c673a32de9" TYPE="ext2" /dev/sdb1: UUID="2a01384c-2301-42d6-bc85-98ebdfb1a7b3" TYPE="ext2" /by Ultrazauberer - Debian
Ohh, thanks for these very clearly written tips! But I failed at the beginning: debian:~$ mkdir /mnt/pogo debian:~$ mount -o ro -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock2 /mnt/pogo/ mount: Cannot allocate memory The strange thing is that I don't modify anything else, I just run Jeff's script for installing the debian USB system. Nothing else should be touched.by Ultrazauberer - Debian
I think a static IP and DHCP would be the best option. It is very rare that two dockstars are in the rescue system at the same time. I prefer nano for editing but I can also live with vi, but it will be more difficult to handle. A basic skript to install an additional linux to a usb device would be nice. Or your debian-install-script and uboot-update-script as written above would be an awesby Ultrazauberer - Rescue System
Very cool stuff Jeff! I don't need the Pogoplug Service, I just want to have a backup system. My actual system is workin fine. I backed up all files of my debian with: tar cvpzf backup.tgz --exclude=/proc --exclude=/lost+found --exclude=/backup.tgz --exclude=/mnt --exclude=/sys / For a complete restore, I have to recreate the master boot record, right? Or how can I restore my currentby Ultrazauberer - Debian
Thanks for information. My Dockstar is booting with Debian, but Pogoplug won't work either. @ Johannes: How can I restore the Pogoplug OS? I ask this, because many scripts from Jeff need the original OS to modify something. It would be great, if you can tell me, how to restore it (of course out of debian). Thanks!by Ultrazauberer - Debian
It shows this message: root@debian:/tmp# ./install_uboot_mtd0.sh !!!!!! DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER !!!!!! If you lose power to your device while running this script, it could be left in an unusable state. This script will replace the bootloader on /dev/mtd0.

Jeff, if it works, I want your Paypal account for donation! :D root@debian:/tmp# ls install_uboot_mtd0.sh uboot-mtd0-dump uboot.mtd0.kwb.md5 mtd0.uboot uboot.mtd0.kwb root@debian:/tmp# rm * root@debian:/tmp# ls root@debian:/tmp# wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh --2010-09-15 18:37:55-- http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.shby Ultrazauberer - Debian
Also a new run root@debian:/tmp# ./install_uboot_mtd0.sh --no-uboot-check couldn't solve the problem. I'll wait for your posting Jeff, and I will not power off the device! ;) EDIT: I have the 3 original files from the dockstar backed up with this script: cd /tmp mkdir usb mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/usb wget http://plugapps.com/os/pogoplug/uboot/nanddump chmod +x nanddump ./nby Ultrazauberer - Debian

I tried to boot into PogoPlug again, but doesn't work. I've uploaded a video to youtube to show all the blinking behavior: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NY8ta2w4EUw Since I have my little problems with colors. ;) By the way: 2 weeks ago my Dockstar worked fine and it boots into Pogoplug or Debian.
