Re: updating kernel - what else do you need to do after copying uimage & modules ? - 12 years ago
After you compiled the kernel, it should give you a .deb file? In any case, I think if you look somewhere in post install for initramfs (I don't remmeber where, if I can find it in the log, I'll post here), I recall there is a file where the kernel name is written in during dpkg installation. P.S. -You can see the old kernel still installed with apt-cache search linux-imageby bodhi - Debian
Re: updating kernel - what else do you need to do after copying uimage & modules ? - 12 years ago
Ian, I think because you did not run dpkg -i your-new-kernel-name.deb. Because dpkg modifies the hooks in initramfs to use the new kernel, IIRC. So somewhere in there the hooks still point to the old kernel. So rather finding the hooks files and manually change it, you can just run cd /boot dpkg -i your-new-kernel-name.deb to install everything into the correct location. -bodhiby bodhi - Debian

Re: [Pogoplug Mobile] Install uBoot/Debian - 12 years ago
Hi twinclouds, Yes, commenting out "/etc/init.d/hbmgr.sh start" in '/etc/init.d/rcS" is a common mistake for those of us who have been familiar with the Dockstar procedure (we do that and it works fine). What we should do here is to just kill Pogoplug processes every time you ssh into the box before doing any installation. The Pogo Mobile original uBoot does not have neby bodhi - Debian

Re: How to switch from Arch to Debian? - 12 years ago
With this vanilla Squeeze kernel, I don't think arcNumber and machid for Pogoplug E02 will work. You can interrupt uBoot using netconsole and set arcNumber back to 2097: setenv arcNumber 2097 - and if machid is set to dd6, then remove it setenv machid After you've booted into Debian, you can upgrade to Wheezy, and then later use a patched kernel for Pogoplug E02 to update itby bodhi - Debian

Re: How to switch from Arch to Debian? - 12 years ago
You're almost there! the debootstrap installation has been glitchy lately. But since you got to the installation basically done, you can generate uImage and uInitrd manually. You can use mkimage to do that, similar to the description this post: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11601,11627#msg-11627by bodhi - Debian
Re: How to switch from Arch to Debian? - 12 years ago
@Tom The procedure for Debian as we've been using is Jeff's installer scripts. These meant to be run on a stock Pogoplug OS. After you've installed Arch, you have new uBoot and everything is working, but you can't run either scripts from your current Arch booting USB because the script needs to wipe out the disk. So you could either remove the USB drive and boot back to Pogby bodhi - Debian
Re: Linux kernel 3.2.28 Kirkwood package - 12 years ago
@chessplayer, I think shv wants to flash the kernel to NAND and put rootfs on a SD or USB drive, so the rootfs label solution will work consistently. Also, regarding to 2 partitions on a drive (or 2 drives). I think you can make sure that the kernel is always loaded correctly from /boot, and then with rootfs label for / , you can make it consistent, too. I used to use 2 partitions, but since I&by bodhi - Debian
Re: GoFelx-Net without SATA device - 12 years ago
Cool! See if you can use the 2nd SATA port by plugging in another SATA disk. I think the sheevaplug patch has 2 SATA ports already, but it's good to confirm it. If you can access it, then perhaps there is no need to update kernel (you will only gain the LEDs control). You can make it a bit better by using an updated kernel with the GoFlex Net archNumber 3089. I've posted one here:by bodhi - Debian
Re: Booting Debian on Pogoplug Pro - 12 years ago
Yes, it is OK to do apt-get upgrade. But as restamp said, should backup your system first. You can also change apt sources list to use wheezy before apt-get upgrade. But prepare for a massive amount of updates! a lot of packages will be kept at older version, because the kernel is still 2.6.x.by bodhi - uBoot

Re: How to jailbreak a used Pogoplug E02 - 12 years ago
Hi restamp, Yes, this hobby is addictive :) I'm fortunate that it also helps me in my works. What I think will happen when you boot up with the serial console attached is you will see the uBoot count down, and you can interrupt it. Recently I had to do a somewhat similar hack for a Pogo Mobile. I think chances are the original uBoot on the Pogo E02 will have a count down (even if it isby bodhi - Off-Topic

Re: How to jailbreak a used Pogoplug E02 - 12 years ago
Hi restamp, If you buy it on eBay, you could ask the seller could go to my.pogoplug.com and de-register the device, and then you can register it again. But if the seller does not do that (either unwilling or bought the device from somebody else in the first place) then it's a big hassle. I don't know if you call Pogoplug they will be willing to de-register the device, I'd doubtby bodhi - Off-Topic
Re: Pogo E02 arcNumber and machid - 12 years ago
@chessplayer, I've suspected that davy's rootfs (Linux version 3.3.2-kirkwide ) does not have E02 support. When I looked at that rootfs config file I did not see Pogoplug E02 or V4. But it was on the Dropbox so I can't be sure. So I guess you can do these: 1. Use netconsole to remove machid (use command setenv machid) so that you're back to old settings. 2.

Pogo E02 arcNumber and machid - 12 years ago
Hi chessplayer, The reason is the current uBoot has a glitch that it will ignore arcNumber 3542, and not passing it to the kernel. So we need to also set machid to dd6 using "fw_setenv machid dd6". I've posted it here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11601,11637#msg-11637. And I really defer to davygravy for the effort to have a "universal kernel" :) I only wantby bodhi - Debian
