I just downloaded the image again from:

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora-secondary/releases/18/Images/arm/Fedora-18-kirkwood-arm.img.xz

This time I took a 4Gb usb drive I got from MicroCenter that still had a FAT partition.  On my F18 notebook as root, I ran:

xzcat Fedora-18-kirkwood-arm.img.xz > /dev/sdc1

I removed the drive, put it in a different usb port, and my notebook (which is running gnome on f18) would not open it in Nautilus.  I kind of assumed that this was suppose to be a readable partition. So I brought up Disk Manager, and it showed the drive still having a MSDOS FAT partition with unknown content.  My previous attempt was with a 8Gb usb drive that had a ext3 partition, and now still has that partition with unknown content.  Note below that the pogoplug boot things it is seeing an ext2 partition on the drive.

So what now?  Is the image bad?  Is that the wrong command on F18 (note that the nc options on http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14,14 are wrong for F18)? Is the image totally non-workable on the plug and I should instead use the f17 image at:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/Kirkwood#Writing_the_Image

?

Help?

Bad USB drive, I built it with xzcat on a F18 notebook.  See below

Any advise on what to do next?  I really think it has to do with which
usb port I am using.

So I do recall from back when the Pogoplug was new there were many folks having issues with some USB drive just not being recognized during uboot.

Since it looks you got the new uboot installed, I would now try using a netconsole to see if you can get any extra information about why it's booting into the Pogoplug linux.

This thread mentions the dockstar, which is just the same basic hardware in a different configuration. Same principle applies.
