E02 Won't Boot From USB [Solved]

[agillis]

Thanks Moonman,

For anybody else reading this post I solved the problem by adding

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'PRE_UP="sleep 15"')

to the

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/etc/network.d/wired-eth0')

file.

This worked for me too! Must have messed up my network settings somewhere along the line. For midlevel n00bs out there trying to learn this stuff here's a few extra steps to get it working.

If you can only boot into Pogoplug without the USB stick/HDD, then boot into it without the USB plugged in. Once you successfully SSH into Pogoplug then plug the USB in. Now we need to mount it so we can edit /etc/network.d/wired-eth0.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cd /tmp
mkdir usb
mount /dev/sda1 usb')

Now use vim to edit it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'vim /etc/network.d/wired-eth0')

Add

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'PRE_UP="sleep 15"')

near the top and close out

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ':x <enter>')

Voila! Reboot and it might work for you!

Hi, thanks - I don't seem to have vim installed though. Any tips?

Use nano instead of vim or vi

Can anyone let me know whether there is anything wrong?

I also tried to reset the PRE_UP in /etc/network.d/wired-eth0, but I cannot find network.d directory. I don't know what is wrong. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to everyone who contributed.
I just got the pogoplug E02 (Black) for $15 bucks from a recent deal at Adorama ....
Installed Arch Linux ARM ... Faced this same issue.
I was almost going to dump the idea and go to optware for NFS .... until I saw this post ...

The PRE-UP=20 resolved this for me. I was unable to locate the file network.d then realized I did not have netcfg package.
So I reinstalled ArchLinuxARM and then added netcfg and then modified the file to PRE-UP = 20 which solved this for me.
Now I get around 60 Mbps transfer with my Arch Linux NFS on pogoplug .... Its pretty impressive what this $15 device can do ...

I have also mounted the NFS shares onto my WDLXTV and I am able to stream 30GB Blu ray rips without a stutter. My friend's $300 NAS could not match this performance.

If you are looking for NFS in pogo go for ArchLinuxARM + nfs-utils ....
Optware is good but slower transfer speeds than Arch ..

Thanks to all those who worked on this solution.
