[Solved] Install Problem Pogoplug

[Klemperon]

Hi,

I have a Problem with my Pogopglug BIZ EU, I think that the Hardware is an Plogoplug PRO,
because I opend it and the board is labeld "POGOPLUG_PRO REV_1.02" also there is an Label
"Pogo pro r2 A4 12E8". The Board has an Sata Port and Wifi.

I tried to install arch Linux by following the instruction from here
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6 ... provideov3. Everything works fine until Step 13
the Device reboots is pinable but there is (for me) no way to log on by ssh.

I tried to use another flash usb stick with a fresh copy of the rootfs and that failed too.
I tried also to use older images for example ArchLinuxARM-2012.05-oxnas.tar.gz and
ArchLinuxARM-2012.06-oxnas.tar.gz. Then I read these thread viewtopic.php?f=29&t=3110
and tryed:

1 - reformat the drive
2 - extract the 2012.05 rootfs
3 - extract update-oxnas to root/
4 - copy & replace root/update-oxnas/lib/modules/ to lib/modules/
5 - Boot.

the Device wasn't ping albe after that.

Did I Brick my Device because it isnt't really an PRO?
What can i do to run Arch Linux.

If it has SATA and mPCIe, it's a Pro.

While I could solve this in minutes if you have a serial connection, for now the fact that it is pngable, but not opening the port for ssh is interesting.

Try this for me, so you can read the logs:
- attach the drive to another ext2/3 speaking machine (linux vm/livecd/etc)
- edit etc/rc.local adding
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
sleep 5
/sbin/halt
')

This will let it boot all the way up, then shut down properly.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', '
')- edit etc/rc.local adding
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sleep 5
/sbin/halt')

It Seems that Geoff got the right idea. I added tty1,tty2, random, urandom the directory pts included 0,1,3,4,5 and ptmx like:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mknod -m 666 /media/rootfs/dev/tty1 c 4 1')

The result of `ls -s /dev/ >>/var/log/boot_debug is now:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'c')rw------- 1 root root 5, 1 Dec 31 18:00 console
prw------- 1 root root 0 Dec 31 18:00 initctl
