Connecting a mobile to the Pogoplug Pro - modules issues

Thanks all for all the suggestions - I've been away from a computer since yesterday so hadn't seen all of them till now. A few quick replies:

you might want to look at a kirkwood based system which are in effect much easier to deal with. I'm personally very fond of the iomega Iconnect even if it is in the "community supported" tier and does not have sata support.

That might be one way to do it (using the revert script), but it's easier for me to just flash over the top. I keep 2 copies in NAND for a reason after all.

Through A script, not that one.

Ok, a really basic question: if we can do it through a script, would it be possible for someone to:

1. compile the new kernel and modules
2. run the revert script to restore the original version
3. tweak the install script to match the size of the new kernel (not sure how to do this) and use the revised install script to flash it to the right place?

i.e. flash the kernel without using the serial cable...

[WarheadsSE]

I'll say this clearly for the record, so this isn't specifically aimed at you @shankargopal :


Do Not Flash to NAND an untested kernel. Ever.

Also, using the revert script multiple times is an absolute abuse of the NAND. Do not repetitively install/revert/install.

Thanks for the warning and the clarification. Will not attempt that then.

Then I think that I'll have to find a serial cable and manage testing via that, which might take a while, and in the meantime we'll find another system to make this gateway operational.

Meanwhile I will wait with fingers crossed in the hope that either the 2.6.31 or the 3.1 kernel will be compiled with these modules by one of the gurus like you, WarheadSE .
