Hi,
i ran the update from the second post on my black Pogoplug Pro.
But i did'nt read exactly and so i patched the NO-PCI-Script on my PCI-Pogoplug.
Before i did a partially system update with "pacman -Syu", but i had some trouble with some
packages, but i think that should not block the upgrade, because reboots after updating
the packages worked without problems.
Update log from SSH:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# Oxnas kernel update, WarheadsSE 06/05/12
# Adds devtmpfs to kernel, and many modules
# NOTE: I DO NOT HAVE THE DEVICES TO TEST
# THEM ALL. Sorry.
This will flash non-PCI kernel only

After successful upgrade i rebooted.
The device is starting up correctly, but i cannot access it via ethernet nor via wifi. (eth0 is static ip defined in rc.conf)
The LED is not blinking after full boot and the color is green - all looks normally.
Could it be, that the upgrade blocks the ethernet controller?
How can i flash the correct kernel?
I've done a full backup with "dd" of my USB device before i applied these updates,
so i could switch back if there is no other way.
Ok, one thing i found out:
in /boot/ is a file uImage (
2.7MB), uImage.nopci (2.3MB), uImage.nopci.org (2.3MB), uImage.pci (2.3MB),
uImage.pci.org (2.3MB).
Could it be, that there the image "uImage" is getting loaded?
The last modication of this file was on 25. Sep 2011.
I also tried to move all files from /lib/modules/* to /usr/lib/modules/.
When i rename the file /var/local/mac_addr to "mac_addr_org" the Pogoplug boots up and halts with an orange LED (not blinking).
Do you have some ideas to finish the update successfully?
I love my Pogoplug, it runs Python, Perl, Lighttpd with PHP, sqlite, samba, dhcp, ddclient, pyload, owncloud and some other services without any greater problems for more than 2 years under archlinux.
It would be great to get it running again for 2 more years
Also i am interested how to get the serial cable connected - is there a tutorial or anything like that?
I have no idea where to connect a serial cable, there are only ethernet, usb and power connectors on the black box.
Or do i have to open it?
Thank u in advance and have a nice weekend!
alfred.
