box bricked. 2nd time? but with the official OS (reverted)

[leckmaul666]

ok this is it. oxnas is running.

now i want to revert it.

[WarheadsSE]

Looks like it is reverted, but something must be horking @ stock boot.

[Socaltom]

The best bet then might be to install the pogo software under Linux
Tom

[leckmaul666]

and how?
tom my friend pls help me

[leckmaul666]

and if this is not possible.
it would be nice too boot from USB.

cause its only possible SATA-booting. USB no power until Alarm is bootet from sata

do u have a trick for me?

greetz tom (junior) from germany

[Socaltom]

What instructions did you use to install linux before the revert?
Tom

[Socaltom]

I took a stab at editing the install script to restore the "normal" Archlinux behaviour. I'm a total rookie, so use this at your own risk.
It requires
1) /tmp/ce does not exist on your boot drive
2) you are booted into Archlinux
3) /boot/uImage.pci and /boot/uImage.nopci exist on the drive you boot from.

If anyone ( Especially Warheads) can take a look and make sure I didn't screw something up I would appreciate it ( especially the kernel write and nand erase sections)

That looks pretty basically correct.

[leckmaul666]

ok i copied your text. open gedit then i did paste it.
saved as "root.sh" on my rootfs archlinux sata HDD
plugged off, plugged in sata on my pogo pro box. booted with sata archlinux.

open ssh. client. then:
[root@alarm /]# chmod 755 root.sh
[root@alarm /]# ./root.sh

but nothing changed? look pls the part of flashing the nand there is no directory..?!
the same ... i booted with usb. no light on usb. no power:(
oh man sorry for that

You might have screwed your boot sector on NAND.
