USB Stick not working to restore FS of D2Plug

[fis04268]

None of my 4 DreamPlugs have been ever brought to death. Restricting user to console is a good thing to stop GUI guys. But my D3Plug is annihilate and now even my D2Plug on my own fault.

I missed the correct stop before upgrading und now the D2Plug is gone, it's time to restore the root filesystem. But i am not able to get any of my 8, 16, 32GB USB sticks working. Some of them have been running as rescue, testing and installation sticks on x86 systems so far.

Do i miss I an obvious error? I am connected using Putty and an USB console cable. USB sticks have been created using current Ubuntu. This is the log of the boot process:

TIA

Solved!

As mentioned in my d3plug thread on a similar problem none of my USB sticks and SDHC cards was detected/accepted to boot from.

Using an old external usb harddisk with an external power source solved this problem. I was able to detect this as USB drive, and to restore uImage and root filesystem.
