Jeff Doozan rescue system won't boot with arcNumber 3542

[lgrant]

Something I ran into that might be useful to know...

I installed the Jeff Doozan NAND-based rescue system (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,3896,3896#msg-3896) on a POGO-E02, and then installed ArchLinux on a USB thumb drive. I set the arcNumber to 3542 to get the new LED support in ArchLinux. After that, the Rescue system will not boot. If I set the arcNumber back to 2097, both the rescue system and ArchLinux boot fine, but the LED doesn't work right.

This is a bit discouraging, since I really want the LED to work, and it is at least difficult to remove the rescue system and put back the original NAND-based Linux system from CE.

I'm sure that eventually Jeff Doozan will catch up, and his rescue system will support arcNumber 3542, but in the interim, I am stuck with no backup. (This is more of an annoyance than a problem, since I have several Pogoplugs running ArchLinux, so if one gets messed up, I can copy one of the other installations.)

But it's something to think about before you install the rescue system on your Pogoplug.

Have you tried the 2.1 version (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,7915)?

Now @ V2.8, where it will likely stay parked for a while.

lgrant, I'm afraid you didn't get your wish about the LED - we do what we can. But it does have some good (and newish) features.

"Working arcNumbers" are listed there in the install directions. Make sure you already have netconsole or serial access before diving into this.
