pogoplug mmc

Postby anothernoob » Wed Jul 29, 2015 11:23 pm

Hello,
I have pogoplug v4.
I've been trying to understand what I'm doing wrong.
Followed some of the mknod from http://blog.qnology.com/2014/07/hacking-pogoplug-v4-series-4-and-mobile.html
And rest of installation from http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-series-4
All in all:
[*]mknod /tmp/mmcblk0 b 179 0
[*]/sbin/fdisk /tmp/mmcblk0 #created the partition
[*]mknod /tmp/mmcblk0p1 b 179 1
[*]/tmp/mke2fs -L rootfs -j /tmp/mmcblk0p1
[*]tar -xvzf ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz /alarm

For 3 times I've installed the Archlinux on 2 mmc devices (on sd with 8 GB mem hc the other 2 GB).
In both times I get (got so frustrated that I've connected the serial since only got a green blinking light) :

Integrated Sata device found

** Can't read from device 0 **

** Unable to use usb 0:1 for fatls **

IDE device 0 not available
** Bad partition 1 **


What is wrong with my partitions?

It doesn't seem like it is looking on mmc at all. Which uboot did you install? From qnology or official arch? If official arch, it does not support booting off of mmc/sd card. You need to install on usb, boot Arch from USB and then install uboot from here: viewtopic.php?f=53&t=8857
