[SOLVED] Goflex Net Bricked

[bloodragon]

Iv'e successfully installed archlinuxarm on a goflexNet and usb HD. then i go back to stock firmware with the procedure written here: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=789. NO errors, and original firmware back in place...
then i tried to reinstall archlinuxarm from the guide... And now the GFN wouldn't boot anymore... the green light keeps blinking forever... i0ve tried also to create a usb key woth ext3 partition, uncompressed the ArchLinuxArm tarball http://archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-armv5te-latest.tar.gz, and named the partition rootfs, but nothing...
I've a serial cable (not a ca42 but something similar)... what can i do?? i've no experience also in netcat..

Thanks in advice

Any toughts?Pls Help

[bloodragon]

Sorry to bother but nobody has hints?

[WarheadsSE]

Did you label the first partition "rootfs"

[bloodragon]

Yes i've done it... but i think the gfn cannot recognize the superblock...
i've created the partition (with an 10.04 ubuntu) with
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mk2fs -j /dev/sdb')
and then unpaked the tar.gz package
and labeled the partition with tunefs, in fact in ubuntu it appears labeled "rootfs"

[bloodragon]

Solved, my error is in copying the unzipped files from the tar.gz to the rootfs (i was not root)... thanks to all the folks on the forum and on IRC... keep Rolling
