twinclouds, If you are running Debian Squeeze rootfs on this OXNAS B01, you can upgrade the rootfs to Wheezy. But udev will cause problem, so it will need to be hold back to the current version you...

In pogo OS, what is your output of cat /etc/fw_env.config does it show 0xa0000 as the address? If you have use fw_setenv in Pogo OS. Then continue using fw_setenv, don't use blparam. But if you have...

Bodhi: I tried your approach on the squeezeplug installation and it worked also. It looks like the key is using upgrade instead of list-upgrade and hold udev as you said. Thank you very much for your...

Thanks bodhi, I did that. I was warned about changes to a configuration file. I recognize the package name as something from the initial install. I chose to "keep your currenty-installed version". Was...

Also, is there a tutorial or description of how the whole thing works? I've had a Debian box for years, but without grub I'm kinda lost understanding how this is all working. For example, I don't...

I examined the files, came to the conclusion that using the new versions was correct, and rebooted. It came back up. :-) But I will still like to understand more about how it works, why /dev/sda1...

Thanks. I added zswap.enabled=1 to the boot parameters and it looks like it is working. Memory pressure on my system isn't all that high, but it does seem to have succeeded in avoiding writes to the...

tdd, - The very first thing you should do is to setup netconsole, if you don't have serial console. netconsole will let you recover from a bad rootfs to a certain degree (till before the kernel is...

musselmanb , I think you're almost out of option here. The Pogo E02 does not have UART booting, so if we flash around the bad block without using block 5 (I had an idea how to do that), and it does...
