Hi davy, Yes I did have netconsole setup before for the dockstar and pogoplug pink E02. I forgot that the GF Home stock FW does not support that, and I thought we need to install nc on the GoFlex Home to allow its UBoot to work. But never mind :-) I will just proceed and set it up after immediately. Thanks, bodhiby bodhi - Debian
@davy, I've reflashed my GoFlex Home with stock FW and fixed the problem with web interface. Successfully logged in and gained root access. I want to set up netconsole, but could not find nc in the stock OS. Did you have to download it? I would like to set up netconsole before flashing the new UBoot. @davy or anybody, where to download nc? I lost the post (I believe by Jeff) about whby bodhi - Debian

@davy, How did you gain root access? I tried to use the Web interface to register the GF Home to get a username to log in, but kept getting error about username is invalid. Thanks bodhiby bodhi - Debian

Indeed! if you can see your home directory then your USB drive was just probably not mounted correctly. Try to manually mount it under /media for now to see if it will be shared. Whenever you change smb.conf, restart samba is enough /etc/init.d/samba restart Also, check this thread for automounting USB drives (see the last few posts): http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,3910by bodhi - Debian
Have you tried to create a samba share that does not require username/password and access it from Win 7? something like below. If the USB drive is mounted under /media then it should be accessible from Win 7. root@debian:~# tail /etc/samba/smb.conf comment = shared localdisk path = /media browseable = yes writeable = yes guest ok = yesby bodhi - Debian

@pazos, That Arch Linux ARM patch does not compile with Debian kernel 3.x at all.

Davygravy: "Would the solution I'm encouraging be better?" For me it is a resounding YES! I wish I had the technical skills in UBoot area to lend you a hand or take up the challenge :-) Like you said, the U-Boot from ArchLinuxArm is very good and it serves its purpose. But I wish I can use Debian 3.x.x kernel with it.by bodhi - uBoot
Thanks Pazos. I've tried that recent archlinux arm patch before and had some problem compiling (warning about some routine was missing prototype). And I only needs the pogo E02 patch because I already had applied a smaller archlinux arm patch which included all other supports for dockstar and goflex. But thanks for your response! I will try again.by bodhi - Debian
Anybody? is this possible? or do I need to create a different source tree and going through the steps of creating patch?by bodhi - Debian
In that case, you need something like ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="exfat", ENV{cmd1}="/bin/mount" ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}!="exfat", ENV{cmd1}="/usr/bin/pmount" ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}=="exfat", ENV{fs1}="exfat-fuse" ENV{ID_FS_TYPE}!="exfat", ENV{fs1}=%E{ID_FS_TYPE}" ACTION=="add", RUN+="%E{cmd1} -t %E{fs1} %E{mode} --noatby bodhi - Debian
Right! sorry about the typo, I meant udevadm. The out put of udevadm shows that ID_FS_TYPE=exfat. So that's what pmount uses in kraqh3d's udev automount rules. How about trying both mount and pmount at the command line to verify : pmount -t exfat /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint mount -t exfat /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint If they fail, then I think the exfat module is not in theby bodhi - Debian
Gents, Suppose I want to patch my kernel 3.0.26 source with only the patch for the pogoplug E02 that Pazos has attached above. Is that possible? Is there a way to extract the info from that patch file to create a small patch just for pogoplug E02 only? Thanks, bodhiby bodhi - Debian

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
