[fedora-arm] Problems with a pogoplug v02
I have been trying to follow:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/PogoplugUSBDisk
Point of difference, mine is a black pogoplug v02, not a pink or grey...
I built a F18 USB drive on a 8Gb drive following:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F18/GuruPlug
I did this from a F18 notebook. When I mount this drive back in to the
notebook, it does not see anything, and disk manager sees the drive as
one partition of unknown linux type.
I then followed the Pogoplug instructions for F18 and rebooted. Of
course there is no reboot command, and no power cycle switch, so the
only way I can see to reboot is unplug and plug back in.
After this power cycle, I attempted to ssh in, and instead of the Fedora
root password,it was the password I assigned via the pogoplug.com enable
SSH setting. And I ended up in bash.
I am looking at the instructions at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F18/GuruPlug
And am I suppose to be using a serial port during this first boot? I do
have a USB serial device, but I would need that on my linux notebook for
a serial port. Oh, wait, I have an old XP notebook with a serial
port... If this USB serial device works, do I use a 'regular' serial
cable (whatever that is these days) and what port settings do I use?
At what point do I restart this install process?
thank you.
Oh 'free' on bash is showing 256Mb of memory?

Thanks the instructions for the Pogoplug say it uses the same image as
the Guruplug, only slightly different steps to get it working.
