Hi,
I know I'm not the first one with this problem, but after following a couple of solutions from other threads etc. I still can't get my Pogoplug to boot debian.
This is what I did:
1. I unpacked my brand new Pogoplug POGO-E02, registered at my.pogoplug.com, enabled SSH and checked which CPU I had - ARM5TE.
2. I followed these instructions and installed ArchARM http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/pogoplug-v2-pinkgray Everything went well, I had Archlinux running, but found it too confusing and wanted to install Debian instead as I have a bit more experience with it and it is more beginner-friendly.
3. I pulled out the USB stick while Arch was running (this might just not have been the best idea)
4. I rebooted the Pogoplug without a USB stick and logged in as root using the password I set when I registered
5. I then tried installing Debian following these two instructions:
http://mehl.co/articles/installing_debian_on_the_pogoplug/index.html
http://projects.doozan.com/debian/
None of them worked - the first link and the wheezy script from the second link got me a yellow light and no ssh and squeeze from the second link just booted in the Popoplug system.
I tried installing the debian with each script a few times and also a few more things (changing fdisk options, reinstalling uboot etc) and every now and then during installs I got an error message, which I resolved after a bit of googling and the install then went through without problems, but debian just isn't booting :(
I'm trying to boot using Transcend JetFlash 700 16GB TS16GJF700. I read mixed things in the "working usb sticks" thread in this forum about Transcend, some work, some don't, but couldn't find anyone stating something about this exact model. I found this though, which seems to be running using my model https://wiki.mytrackdays.eu/index.php?title=Pogoplug_E02_specifications and Archlinux did boot without a problem, so I think the stick isn't the problem.
I hope you people can head me of to the right directions finally getting my Pogoplug up and running with debian
