So first thank you for these forums seems like a lot of good info and was enough to think I could follow along and migrate from Arch to Debian.
My setup had been to boot Arch off of the HD mounted on the GoFlexHome. But Debian seemed like a better choice so I dug out an old Arch bootable USB drive and went to work modifying the GoFlex rootfs on the hard drive.
First I followed http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 it seemed rather straight forward other than having to install a few additional tools but everything went smoothly.
Next I followed the Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 install instructions.
After reboot everything seems to go normal from a link light and front light POV but the system does not grab an IP from the DHCP server on the router and so I have no way back into the GoFlex. But I have a green link light on the Ethernet port, and the front lights cycle from flashing green, to orange, to solid green.
Thinking maybe I'd messed up the rootfs install I made a bootable USB following the instructions here http://forum.doozan.com/read.php3,30890 Unfortunately it has the same light activity as with the hard drive.
I feel like I must be missing something obvious but I'm not sure what. I don't have a serial cable for this unit so I can't play that way.
Thanks for the help.
