Pogoplug stuck after usb boot

[frankzan]

Hi all, I installed many times on many usb sticks archlinux as it is discribed here. But every time I'm not able to access the box. The front led is orange and the network port is blinking green. The yellow led is out. My router shows the mac and ip address, but I can't connect.

Is there any log? Nc does not work.

many thanks upfront.

Which device do you have, exactly?

Try adding this to rc.local, so that it will boot, then shut down safely. Then you can read the logs.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
sleep 5
/sbin/halt
')

[frankzan]

it's a Pogoplug v2 POGO-E02.
I did not get you. I have no access to the box if I boot it with a usb stick. Is there any log on the stick?

[WarheadsSE]

Yes, that is what I was referring to.

[frankzan]

I did it. No change - no log. I changed /etc/rc.local on my usb stick and included "sleep 5 /sbin/halt".

[frankzan]

okay I found all logs. I attached them below. Two issues I do not understand:

1. Why ist the listener do not have a ip-address?
2. Why do I got the following message : "eth0: no IPv6 routers present"

hi all, I don't know why - but it's working now. But never the less. Front led is orange und orange network is off.

[moonman]

Front led will be orange unless you change the u-boot variable (forgot what it is) to tell kernel that your device is Pogoplug E02. LAN Orange led is barely lit on mine as well, it's almost not noticeable. As for ipv6, your router doesn't support ipv6 and/or your ISP doesn't support ipv6. This is normal and not a big deal. You still have same old ipv4.
Edit: U-Boot variable name is arcNumber and it should be set to 3542 for proper led colors and behavior.
