PP Won't Boot With USB Hard Drive Attached

[Socaltom]

Follow these instructions

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cd /tmp
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/mke2fs
chmod +x mke2fs
./mke2fs -j /dev/sda1
mkdir alarm
mount /dev/sda1 alarm
cd /tmp/alarm
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/pogoplug/bsdtar
chmod +x bsdtar
wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
./bsdtar -xpf ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
sync
umount alarm
')

the only real change was that the file will now download to the usb drive and extract it there.

Thanks for this, Tom.

I did figure out a more complicated solution that I posted at http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=7984. Yours is much simpler so I'm going to update mine to link to yours.

I'm now running 3.16.6-1-ARCH after having been on 3.1.10-16-ARCH for about 18 months. I can see a lot has changed. Trying to set up a static ip address is much better for senior brain activity than Luminosity will ever be. After that's done it's on to setting up LVM so I don't run out space in the future.

Thanks for all your help.
