Hello, I'm looking for some troubleshooting help for my Pogoplug (Pink E02) v2 which, from what I gather, may have a corrupted uBoot, but I'm not positive as I'm a noob in this area.
I tried to install Archlinix on it, which I was able to do successfully once in the past, but after reboot the front LED does not power on and the device doesn't show up as a network connected device in my router setup (no DHCP request sent I believe as only the green ethernet LED is on). I cannot ping its former IP address. There is access activity on the USB drive for a while when booting. If I try booting it up w/o a USB drive, it ends up in the same state. No other drives are attached to the unit.
I tried creating another USB stick with 'rootfs' per this post http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=19207&sid=9735a59351f36c508aa0596fac33952d#p19207
With just that USB drive in the pogoplug the front LED turned green but still no network activity...
I have a serial cable on-order but was hoping there is some other troubleshooting activity I can try. Otherwise, I'm hoping to get some pointers on what I need to do to revive the box once the serial cable arrives.
I have at my disposal, a box with Linux Mint (I'm a linux noob though), Win 7 x64, and another E02 Pogoplug, which I do not want to modify in any way, but perhaps it may be helpful for troubleshooting.
Thank you
