Can't boot Archlinux ARM from PogoE02

[dtvnewbie]

Hi, I think I messed up the install when I had a brain cramp and tried to run both Doozan's script from these instructions:
http://blog.qnology.com/2013/03/tutoria ... linux.html

and then I ran the script using the offical ArchLinux install for E02 here:
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... s-ui-tabs2

Originally, I had an external USB hard drive (1 TB) partitioned and Arch installed on it.
Got boot loader error and lost SSH access when I rebooted.
Had to make a USB to serial connection and was able to get in.
I believe I have now updated the uBoot to Davey's version. File is called uboot.mtd0.kwb-2011.12-pogo_e02-L2Coff.
Here's the uboot (connected with serial USB) log with 4GB USB drive with ArchLinux ext3 fs install - hangs at 'Host is alive':

Here's what I get if I leave the ArchLinux USB on first USB port and type 'boot' to soft reboot - somehow, it thinks the partition type is DOS??

Would appreciate any help and this has been bugging me for days.

Thanks

You have old(er) davygravy's U-Boot but new official Arch U-Boot environment.

Partition type DOS is fine, it just means it's MBR.

You should be able to boot manually (search forums for U-Boot environments) and then flash new mainline U-Boot. (or get the right environment for your current one)

Can I just boot to serial console and set up env vars based on what's defined in the mainline script and then use tftp to get the required mainline e02 boot image and use same boot flash commands as i used in Davy's instructions?
Are the location addresses the same?

Thanks
