Jeff's tutorial, "FATAL: kernel too old" (1 reply)

I have a spare PogoPlug E02 that I had used with the qnology.com instructions long ago. I'm not sure I can get logitechmediaserver running on my "production" E02 that is also qnology/arch, so I wanted to try debian to get LMS and samba NAS functions on this spare unit.

I pulled the USB out of the spare unit, booted (cdadmin), put the USB back in and ... I wasn't sure if I should do uboot or debian rootfs first. So I ran "Jeff's Tutorial" http://projects.doozan.com/debian/ on it, and it failed, and the last line of /tmp/debian/debootstrap/debootstrap.log is "FATAL: kernel too old".

Update: Also, since I intend to use this as a NAS with an external HD, should I be doing this with the HD instead of a flash thumb drive? My Arch NAS is set up that way. I could overwrite the small partition on the Arch external HD, but it would be nice to have the debian replacement working before taking down my NAS.
