Pogoplug Pink fails in Validating Existing Uboot
Guys, I'm installing Debian on a new Pogoplug Pink (it's an E02 version). I've opened the box to double check, making sure that it's actually an E02 (no SATA). I got the often reported error "Unknown...

I've rebooted back into Pogoplug and ran dmesg. Is it the classic problem with bad block on mtd0 ? what can I do to proceed? Thanks -bash-3.2# dmesg [ 0.000000] Linux version 2.6.22.18...

@restamp, I found some of your posts about how you dealt with this problem at http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,2417,2417#msg-2417 It seems the problem is exactly as yours before. Could you advise:...

Hi bodhi. It's late, and I don't have a lot of time to spend online tonight. (It's 3 AM here.) On my "bad" Dockstar, the problem turned out to be an incorrectly flashed original uBoot. Jeff's...

Thanks, restamp! It's good advises. Hopefully, others will chime in with more. Suppose if I go ahead and force the override with the new UBoot, and then find out that the box is bricked. Can I recover...

If the uBoot winds up becoming corrupted during the install and you then reboot out of the running OS, I think your Pogoplug is toast. The only way to recover from that would be to open it up, connect...

Thanks restamp! I will proceed with the override and report back. I'll keep my fingers crossed :-)

restamp, Looks like I was not successful in the attempt to do a force uboot installation. I'm getting closer to brick my pink pogoplug :-) I'm leaving box on for rescue if needed. The results so far:...

Actually, this looks promising, bodhi. It appears that the nandwrite caught the bad block and correctly shifted the last block of data to the next good block. Look, I'm no expert, but here's what I'd...

@restamp, I have a chance to continue on with my pink Pogo today! Here is what I've done so far, and some questions arised, hope you can shed light to these :-) The following log shows these steps:...

@bodhi *After* writing the uboot environment to nand, you need to set ethaddr, arcNumber, and then the netconsole stuff. Your netconsole config doesn't exist because you did it before writing the...

Bodhi, kraqh3d is correct about setting the ethaddr to the correct MAC address. Here is the diff of my Pogoplug's environment and the one you posted:4a4 > arcNumber=2097 40,46d39 <...

restamp, thanks for verifying the settings! I will try this tonight and report back.

Great news :-) It works as we hoped and expected. I modified the uBoot envs, setup netconsole on the Pogoplug Pink, started netconsoles from my Windows laptop, and then put in the Debian USB stick...

Great news indeed! Thanks for being the guinea pig in this experiment, bodhi, but hey, being a successful guinea pig ain't all that bad, is it! Hope you get many years of use out of your Pogoplug.
