Tinkrer, Did you download the u-boot I posted? if you did, the command is: ./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2014.07.tld-1.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb -p And if you have another ARM plug, then you can use the kwboot binary I uploaded in that same thread.by bodhi - uBoot

@LouisV, As grayman4hire said, the /boot/uImage and /boot/uInird must be on the SD card. You can interrupt netconsole and run u-boot command ext2ls to see if it can find the boot files mmc init ext2ls mmc 0:1 /boot And by the way, I've uploaded the new U-Boot which should handle MMC a lot better: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381by bodhi - Debian
I've uploaded the 2014.07 U-Boot images for GoFlexNet, GoFlex Home, Pogoplug E02, Dockstar, Pogplug V4/Mobile, iConnect, Netgear Stora. Please see 1st post for download link and installation instruction.by bodhi - uBoot

@Looker, You can not boot back to Pogo OS after installing ALARM u-boot (part of your Arch installation).by bodhi - uBoot
@grayman4hire, Sorry gray, I need to write some extra flashing instruction for PogoV4/Mobile (same as for iConnect and Netgear Stora). It won't work without it.by bodhi - uBoot
Ah. That's made it simpler with only one USB port. And that link currently the only way to install with a script. Later when you have booted into Arch succesfully, you can come back and install the new U-boot which I will upload today or tomorrow in this thread.by bodhi - uBoot
Does the mmc device appear under /dev/disk? if it does not appear there then the Pogo OS udev (if it uses udev) did not detect the mmc. It might use some hotplug process to do this, though. ls -lR /dev/disk/by bodhi - Debian

Download the GoFlex Home u-boot from this thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 And use serial console to boot with UART method (kwboot) as described in this thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852,7852 Stop at the u-boot countdown, plug in your Arch rootfs USB. And boot! Come back here if you have problem booting into Arch or see errors.by bodhi - uBoot
Have you installed new packages since your last post? perhaps you should reboot after each installation to make sure the system is booting OK. The permission problems we're seeing in the log seems to point to either: - The rootfs was not created by root user. - Some packages installations were not completely successful.by bodhi - uBoot
JohnnyTToxic, That looks totally wrong. If you've followed the instruction, the first and only partition System type should be Linux. And use fdisk -l to list partition, don't use sfdisk.

k3x, Try these: 1. in serial console, remove the usb_rootfstype, and boot setenv usb_rootfstype boot This will only temporarily remove this env. If it boots OK, you can set it for real in Debian with fw_setenv. 2. If the above does not work, put the rootfs on another USB stick (Sandisk is most reliable brand for booting).by bodhi - Rescue System

Hi gray, I thought the reason you want to boot Pogo OS is to use the service, then do what moonman did is better. But if you're only looking for way to boot back to Pogo OS as a rescue system then, yes, moonman's method is not applicable here. Yes, Jeff's approach is very elegant. However, it might no longer work in your situation, as I explained above: QuoteThe problem wiby bodhi - uBoot
Hi gray, I have not looked at moonman's approach to run Pogoplug services from ALARM at Arch site, but I suspect that he did not run stock u-boot. The problem with trying to load and run stock u-boot from a much newer u-boot (ie. davygravy's image) in NAND is most likely it won't work or works inconsistently. The binaries are too different in structure. - "fsload uboot-oby bodhi - uBoot
