Ok. As a newbie, I am trying to understand somethings, I have a Pogoplug V2. I was running Debian 3.16 of bodhi's.

1. I installed the latest uBoot listed here "" http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 "".

2. I flasehd the default envs img from step "" B. Flashing default u-boot envs image "". It went fine using "" uboot.2014.07-tld-2.environment.bodhi.tar ""

3. I flashed Linux Kernel 4.2 from http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 and then did step because I was coming from the latest ArchLinux (2015) (Arch uBoot????)

4a. Boot with DTB file (standard way to boot FDT kernel). Recommended. 

Again, please replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box. 

Generate the uImage and uInitrd, and set U-Boot envs for booting (the u-boot envs below are for first time upgrading, you might already have these set up): 
cd /boot
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-4.1.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d vmlinuz-4.1.0-kirkwood-tld-1 uImage 
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-4.1.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-4.1.0-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd

fw_setenv load_dtb 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x1c00000 /boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb'    
fw_setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd'
fw_setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
fw_setenv usb_boot 'run load_dtb; run load_uimage; if run load_initrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000 0x1c00000; else bootm 0x800000 - 0x1c00000; fi'

4. Now Debian 3.16 will not boot. I get an orange light.

5. I also cannot ssh to pogoplug WITHOUT USB. Without USB I get green blinking light - black --green blinking light --black --- etc.

Q: How do I get back to ssh to Pogoplug wihtout USB.

** Do I need to use Debian 3.18???

THanks for any help !
