[major]

Hello!

Is it possible to install debian on a Pogoplug Pro?
I didn't find anything about it.

thx

While we aren't debian support, it should be possible to use our kernel & modules with the debian rootfs. I've not tried it, nor will I but it should be doable, as according to our FAQ.

I saw this but had not try.

Hi,

I don't think that this is the right way, because there is an different bootloader in the pogoplug pro...

I think it could go this way:

i tried, but it doesen' boot.
of course i used the /lib/modules and /boot from arch
maybe there is any hint

The kernel on the Pro/oxnas line is written to NAND, and you'll need the /lib/firmware along with the /lib/modules

I also hat the /lib/firmware but
i don't know why the pogoplug didn't boot.

is there a special way to pack the /lib/modules and /lib/firmware
in a tar file?

ok,
i've connected the serial cable, because with debian it didn't boot.
so i wanted to look what happend.

the problem is, that eth0 won't start. there is an error message.
i will post it in the evening.
but phps. somebody knows this...

phps = perhaps??

So then it did boot, it just didn't initialize eth0 properly?

[major]

yes sir.
it booted, but i couldn't set any command in the serial terminal.
the last log was: started sshd.
a view lines before there was the error with eth0 (i'll post the log later)

Once sshd started ttyS0 went useless?
