Boot failure, reinstall and now Nw. access problems

[jordy22]

I would like to start by mentioning that Arch Linux is awesome on my PogoPlug Pro (Black box version) and transformed it from a sluggish/throttled Pogoplug toy to a great Samba and FTP server.

Now the problem:
Few days ago I rebooted it (I found that sometimes this maneuver helps reviving a Samba-based login from a win 7 64 client PC in the same LAN) using the classic /sbin/reboot but the box never recovered properly. I got a front led blinking franticly and no IP access anymore via SSH (No IP assignment, no DHCP). I suspect the root cause was the HDD I had on the second USB port, left connected during reboot and/or possible flash USB w/ Arch Linux FS corruption.

At this point I followed the instructions from the INSTALLATION tab of http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv6 ... provideov3, I put a fresh root filesystem tarball on a new USB flash memory, I setup the MAC address in /usr/local/mac_addr and restarted.

Apparently it is booting properly, the LED flashes 20 seconds then solid green, the RJ45 NIC card LEDs blinking, but I still cannot ping the device.
The Access Point DHCP has a IP reserved for this device.
I still need to troubleshoot to check if I can ping the device from other machines in my LAN since I suspect also a firewall filtering from Win 7.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

1) Wrong sub-forum
2) Did you ever do the kernel update? The latest rootfs tarball for the platform has a new set of modules that won't work with the old kernel.
