Congrats! You are in good shape! To solve the ssh problem, ask at Arch site: http://archlinuxarm.org/ There are settings in Arch roofs that need adjustment.by bodhi - Debian
berli, > som information about my pogoplug > CPU ARMv6l PLX 7820 700MHz dual Cores > Your Pogoplug is of OXNAS variant, not a Dockstar! you're running a wrong installation procedure.

Will see if I can build 2013.04 uBoot, which should have this patch. Still, I'm not sure if netconsole will work properly with this later uBoot version.by bodhi - uBoot
@cpe, I meant you can always rerun uBoot installation as described here: http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/ When prompted for restore environment, say yes to get the envs reset to the normal Debian setup, and then try to boot with Debian Squeeze stick. This way at least you can run Debian and worry about rescue system later.by bodhi - uBoot
Cool :) I am glad everybody found my contribution useful.by bodhi - Debian
I can upload it, but it will be a while, since I'm on the road for a couple weeks.by bodhi - Debian
Quite a few people has problem with the rescue systems lately. I'm not sure why. I don't use it because I don't have a need for it, so I can't really have a good feel for the problem. If you can't make it work then I would suggest abandoning it for now. Just rerun the complete installation, and force a uBoot update and uBoot envs reset so you can get back to a bootingby bodhi - uBoot
Every thing looks normal. Another possible reason could be the USB brand, what brand the stick is? and can you try the intallation on another stick?by bodhi - uBoot
1. What is your envs looks like? from serial console uBoot prompt: printenv 2. Mount the Squeeze USB on another Linux box, and run (assuming the USB drive is mounted as /media/sda1) ls -l /media/sda1/boot/ What is the output of this ls -l command? do you see uImage and uInitrd ? if not, you will need to boot back to rescue system and generate them. If you've saved the installation loby bodhi - uBoot
Since so your situation is you can log in to the rescue system, and you have problem with Davy NSA320 rootfs, you should rerun the installation to install Debian Squeeze , and then upgrade to Wheezy. - Log in to the rescue system. - Use an empty USB thumb drive (it will be erased during installation). - Follow the installation instruction: http://projects.doozan.com/debian (use this scriptby bodhi - uBoot
It won't work on NSA320. I did not include support for it, since I don't have the NSA320, and don't have the appropriate patch.by bodhi - Debian
P21 is usually Oxnas, and has different installation procedure. To make sure that you have Oxnas version look at dmesg output (the first few lines shows the machine type). If it is V2 then all you need is to either rerun the installation for Debian. If it is Oxnas then see here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,6336by bodhi - Debian
I took a peak at the specs, some model has both master and slave mode. But still entirely not sure how it works :) does it work it just like a USB Bluetooth dongle?by bodhi - Off-Topic
@maihoa, Very interesting! have you found more info about tthis? Does it have to be plugged in to another USB Bluetooth adapter?by bodhi - Off-Topic

I've uploaded kernel 3.8.11 kirkwood package. See 1st post for updates.by bodhi - Debian
sosuke, You could execute uBoot envs in netconsole and see what happen. Execute this mmc boot command in 4 steps: mmc_bootcmd=mmc init; mmc init; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x00800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load mmc 0:1 0x01100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi So stop uBoot at netconsole, and do these 4 commands consecutively.

@chessplayer, Unfortunately I can't find the individual patch for NSA320! there is a consolidated patch for Arch (by moonman) which has NSA320: https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/linux-kirkwood/archlinuxarm.patch But it will take some works to extract it.by bodhi - Debian

pr0, You're running stock uBoot, and this version is very limited in what you can do with uBoot envs. If you are comfortable with flashing new uBoot using a manual procedure (only recommended for more experienced users and with serial console for recovery purpose), then check out this thread, starting here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,6624,6959#msg-6959 and instructions here: htby bodhi - uBoot
First step, please post your output of fw_printenv from Debian. And also describe your setup a little more: if I understood correctly, the other 2 sticks are USB ? plugged into the front USB ports?by bodhi - uBoot
sosuke, Looking back at Davy's thread: The rootfs is packaged as an ext3 image (kirkwood-debian_image.img) so you'll have to mount with the loop option, and cp -a the contents onto a preformatted sda1 partition. Did you do this to create the rootfs stick? note that the rootfs image is ext3. So your uBoot env for rootfs type should be ext3. Usually it's OK for booting ext3 eby bodhi - uBoot
SiruS, I will upload kernel 3.8.11 in a couple days.by bodhi - Debian
SiruS, I think you probably solved this with this solution! we will see if the error repeat. But looking at the explanation for memory tuning at openSUSE site, it is very specific how this number would help to eliminate page allocation failure error. Yeah, LOL at 64M :)) we don't have that much to spare :)by bodhi - Debian

This is interesting. Thanks SiruS! BTW, when you see this error, are you running your boot HDD as USB or SATA? I've moved the swap file to a different stick otherby bodhi - Debian
ian, How long have you waited before trying to log in through ssh? which file system is on your USB, ext2 or ext3? If it's ext2, then take the stick to a different Linux box and run e2fsck to check error. If it ext3 then wait for a few minutes to see if it was recovering from error.by bodhi - Debian
