I got this working yesterday. Sheevaplug with a 640 GB SATA hard disk in an IcyDock enclosure on a powered USB hub. It wasn't too difficult. The short form of the guide is as follows: Install Debian Lenny to NAND flash using ESIA. Enable the "contrib" and "non-free" Debian repositories. Copy the Debian installation to SDHC card using the instructions at http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SD_Card_As_Root_File_System under "Create a bootable file system on the SD card" NOTE: you can create a bootable backup of the SDHC card using rsync: # rsync --stats --progress -a --delete /media/sdhc_01/ /media/sdhc_02 Restart the plug, interrupt its boot at the Marvell>> prompt using the serial terminal. Enter this text at the Marvell>> prompt: mmcinit; setenv bootargs_root root=b301; boot and hit enter. The Sheevaplug will boot from SDHC. Follow the guide here http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-guides-and-tutorials-65/t-installing-rtorrent-and-rutorrent-on-debian-based-linux-393861 to install rtorrent/rutorrent. Works fine. Got about 150 torrents running, Load average: 0.05 0.08 0.05, 71/501MB memory usage.

18	General Category / General Discussion / Re: New QT based installer: Enhanced Sheevaplug Installer Application (ESIA)	on: June 20, 2010, 01:27:36 PM
Thank you for your reply! I have flashed the plug to u-boot 3.4.27, and I still get the same behavior when I use ESIA to install Ubuntu904_usb_app.tar.bz2 that I downloaded from http://sourceforge.net/projects/esia/files/. Ubuntu actually installs and boots up fine and runs fine, but ESIA's gui is still getting stuck at 8%. However the led is now green instead of red, so there's some progress. Or do you mean that I need to actually use u-boot 3.4.26 and not 3.4.27 in order to get the ESIA gui not to hang at 8%? Thank you again for your help!

Greetings Brand new sheevaplug owner here. (Got it four days ago.) I installed ESIA on a Dell Mini 9 netbook running ubuntu 9.10. I used it to install ubuntu 9.04 on NAND flash on the sheevaplug. As noted earlier in this thread, ESIA appears to hang at 8% progress while the message that's highlighted in ESIA is "* Starting on-board installer". Meanwhile, the terminal that I used to start ESIA is showing ""*Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd" Even though it looks like it's stuck here, and the little circular arrow is still spinning, once I see that message in the terminal, I can log in by ssh, with root, nosoup4u as usual. Everything seems to work OK. There are no obvious errors in the ESIA install log. The last line is Erasing Nand...Writing to Nand... done Is this normal behavior? Also I notice that since I ran ESIA, one of the leds has changed. It used to be that one led was green and the other was blue. Now one starts out green and turns red a couple of seconds after I power it up, and the other is blue. Is this normal? Is this a problem? Hardware problem? Software problem? Any insight/help is appreciated!

Greetings Brand new sheevaplug owner here. I've been trying and trying to get my new plug to boot from a 4 GB class 6 SDHC card. I insert the card, then fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 o n p 1 enter enter a 1 w mkfs -t ext2 /dev/mmcblk0p1 mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/sdcard cp -axv / /mnt/sdcard (NOTE: this copy only takes about three minutes, not 10 to 15) cp -axv /dev /mnt/sdcard/ Then looking around on the card, everything looks OK. Then I follow the directions re: rebooting and stopping u-boot from booting. (I do this in PuTTY on a Dell Mini 9 running Ubuntu 9.10, if it matters.) Then, as shown in the writeup, I paste in the line setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw ip=10.4.50.4:10.4.50.5:10.4.50.5:255.255.255.0:DB88FXX81:eth0:none at the Marvell>> prompt, I hit enter, then enter "boot" (no quotes) and hit enter at the Marvell>> prompt, and the plug boots right up from the NAND flash. df after boot confirms this. This is on a brand new sheevaplug running ubuntu 9.04 which was installed using ESIA. The distro came from the ESIA web page. Any ideas what I'm missing/doing wrong? Thank you for any help!
