Problems with archlinux on Pogoplug Mobile

Postby wjunior » Tue Mar 13, 2012 6:59 pm

I've followed all the steps to install Pogoplug Series 4 correctly on my Pogoplug Mobile, it showed no erros but when i finished i got stuck with a flashing green light. I power cycled it and was still stuck with a flashing green light.

I managed to revert it to the stock firmware, but want to try archlinux again. Is Pogoplug mobile really compatible?

It does work. The most common mistakes happen in creating the boot drive. Also, flash drives are notorious for being problematic. If you have a usb hard drive to use, I'd go with that or try a different flash drive.

I am using a 2TB usb hard drive.

At first I created a partition using the whole drive, now I tried again but with a very small partition just for the system and I still got the flashing green light.

What bugs me is that I apparently followed the steps correctly .

I installed it using a 8gb flash drive and it worked! But I want to boot from mine 2TB USB hard drive.. Why does pogoplug doesn't boot from it? I tried using the whole drive as a partition and with a small partition, neither of them worked.
