I don't have any USB drives on my "Pogoplug Pro -US" what is says for Model on the box. My "cat /proc/cpuinfo" looks like this:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/sbin # cat /proc/cpuinfo

Here is the code I did to install this, after I did "killall hbwd".

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 267349.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
(e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

until you decide to write them. After that the previous content

What is wrong and is there any thing I can do to get this to work?
I would love to install Ubuntu server on this. I seen on the Net that some people have. But I have not found any place were it says how.
