Green Led Blinking

[gigigunner]

Hello everyone
First sorry for my bad English!!!

2 days ago I purchased a Pogoplug pro identified as POGO-P04-EU, I tried to install Arch Linux ARM as a guide but after the reboot Pogoplug continues to have the green light blinking endlessly.

The problem is that I can not connect via ssh because the device is no longer present in the DHCP table.

What can I do?

Thanks for the help

If it's not present in the DHCP table, then there has been an issue during boot, most likely.

Attach the drive to a linux pc (or use a live cd) and check the filesystem, as well as consider duplicating the 'network' entry in the DAEMONS=() line of /etc/rc.conf

Then attempt to boot again.

Is your drive connected to the USB port nearest to the LAN port?

I am never able to boot at first, i have to try it 2 or 3 times but at the end it boots

[WarheadsSE]

Right.. forgot that.. try removing all other usb devices by the boot drive!

Thanks for the answers but these days I have many things to do and I've another problem...

My mother has formatted the usb why he needed, so I had to follow the last part of the guide reenter all the files that were in the zip archive.

However, the LED is still flashing even changing the location of USB (which normally I plug it on the front of Pogoplug)

The file rc.conf at line DAEMONS = () is:
DAEMONS=(set-oxnas-mac !hwclock syslog-ng network netfs crond sshd openntpd)

The Pogoplug still not reachable via ssh it is not in the DHCP table.

Stop all

I changed the eth door and I have connected the Pogoplug directly to the modem instead of going from the router, now I can connect via ssh to the Pogoplug.

The device name is "alarm", LED continues to flash wildly.

The LED continues to blink but now I can not update anything.

When I give the command pacman-Syu I have as a result:
:: Synchronizing package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from archlinux.supsec.org : No address record
error: failed to update core (No address record)
error: failed retrieving file 'extra.db' from archlinux.supsec.org : No address record

resolv.conf file is empty!!

What should I do?

1) put something in there
2) Did you change your pacman.conf? Because we dont have packages hosted there.

# REPOSITORIES
# - can be defined here or included from another file

# Repository entries are of the format:

# Include = IncludePath
#
# The header [repo-name] is crucial - it must be present and
# uncommented to enable the repo.

# The testing repositories are disabled by default. To enable, uncomment the
# repo name header and Include lines. You can add preferred servers immediately
# after the header, and they will be used before the default mirrors.

Check /var/log/ dir, the logs might have been filled with syslog spitting out errors every cycle >.<
Your messages/errors/daemon/everything logs may be HUGE so just rm and touch those to free some space.
