POGO B01 HELP!

Postby taco57 » Tue Jan 10, 2012 4:15 am

Alright, I have run into a problem caused by myself. I installed archlinux and everything was fine. Then I was editing the config file to set the pogo's hostname and I did something wrong and caused the pogo to not boot correctly. Now what I tried to do after this was re-edit the config by plugging in the boot flash drive into my ubuntu install and change the config, But when I tried to reboot the pogo it still wouldnt boot correctly and my router wouldnt recognize my device. The next morning I was got extremely frustrated and wiped out my install flash drive. So I have a pogo that doesnt have an OS to boot. Is there anyway I can get a copy of a base load of archlinux and put it on a prepared flash drive and repair permissions and hope the pogo boots? Is there another way of going about installing arch linux onto my flash drive without my pogo then simply placing the flash drive in the pogo?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', '
')
Scroll down on the Installation tab.


When I try to do that I get 'bash cannot execute binary file'
I have tried doing this in Ubuntu 32 and 64 bit. Is there a different OS I can do this in? What do you suggest?

I have extracted a new rootfs onto multiple HDDs/Flash Drives using Ubuntu. If you follow the instructions, it should give you a bootable rootfs. I have no idea what you're doing wrong.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('xenoxaos', 'I') have extracted a new rootfs onto multiple HDDs/Flash Drives using Ubuntu. If you follow the instructions, it should give you a bootable rootfs. I have no idea what you're doing wrong.


$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 's')ync
cd /tmp
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/mke2fs
chmod 755 mke2fs
./mke2fs -j /dev/sda1


is this the correct steps to take?? except my flash drive is sdb1.
Or do I need to do something different to extract the fs?

thats because THAT binary is for an ARM processor. mkfs exists on ubuntu & mint on its own.

Can you give me some sort of actual helpful advice. If the only ARM device I have is my Pogo, would running an ARM emulator be a possible fix? is there anything easier that I can do to get this to work?

Thanks

I'm saying stop downloading an ARM binary to an x86 system, and attempting to run it. Use the one already on the system.

Okay for that I am truely an idiot. Well now that I got the ext3 fs figured out. I have moved onto step 10 of the install

is
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'c')d /tmp
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/oxnas/oxnas-install.sh
chmod 755 oxnas-install.sh
./oxnas-install.sh


the same as
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')ownload and extract the root filesystem tarball onto the new ext3 partition
in the bottom of the install page?

When I attempt step 10 I get an error when it is trying to install, I understand that because Its looking for devices in the pogo and not my notebook, correct? Where do I get the filesystem tarball? is that on my ubuntu install as well?
