Pogoplug does not reboot!

[sujit]

Yes rino, same problem as mine - steady orange light, but no SSH. However, I did not install any app except transmission

I have a slightly different problem.

This morning I installed ArchLinux on my Pogoplug E02 successfully then I tried to set up a static IP. In the doing I modified eth0 file in /etc/network.d. Now I cannot boot into ArchLinux. I can SSH in the Pogoplug OS. At least that's what SSH says I'm in.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Pogoplug:/$')

I have tried going back to step one in the instructions @ http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... 2-pinkgray but I am failing at the step of making the usb folder. I am told that the system is read-only.

I'm sure there is a solution to this since I can SSH into the PP but I have the faintest idea what it might be. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

here's my install activity log from the most recent SSH session;

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Pogoplug:/$ killall hbwd
killall: hbwd: no process killed
Pogoplug:/$ cd /tmp
Pogoplug:/tmp$ wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh

You are already running the latest uBoot.
Your current uBoot environment should be reasonable. However, if you're having
any probems booting, you can reset the environment variables to know good values.
Would you like to reset the uBoot environment? [N/y] y

Of course once you ask for help you figure things out and solve the problem.

My Pogoplug is back running ArchLinux. All I had to do was RTFI. The only folder that can be written to when in the core level is the /tmp folder. For some reason I was trying to create usb in the root folder.

All is well.

Sorry for the bother.

No hopefully I can now figure out how to get a static IP established without screwing things up.
