Pogoplug E02 Bad Block, with questions about installing the U-Boot software (no replies)

Hi all,

I have a problem with a bad block coming up when I try to install the U-Boot software on my black pogoplug E02. I’m am following the directions here: http://blog.qnology.com/2013/03/tutorial-pogoplug-e02-with-arch-linux.html I’m attempting to make a (second) Squeezebox player for my network. I’ve followed these instructions before, but when I get to the installing of the U-Boot section, it fails with bad blocks.

I am able to boot into the OS that comes with the plug. I receive an IP address as handed out by my router. I have not set it to be a static IP as of yet. I can log in as root. The LED on the front of the unit is a steady green one. I’ve not looked at passing commands to it and checking for a change in the LED status.

I’ve seen that there are new instructions for this, but I’m unable to completely follow them. I have installed the tools from download.doozan.com .
The following is the output that I have for: dmesg, fw_printenv, and cat /proc/mtd .

Unfortunately I don’t know what version of U-Boot I’m using. I do not have a serial console attached. I have ordered the correct parts in order to have one though. However, they will take a few days to arrive. At least I think I’ve purchased the correct parts for a serial connection. But that’s a different topic altogether.

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to give me.
