The last weeks I did see very much Spam-Messages from new Users....
They did create many new Threads on their first day or did reply to many threads
on their first day in the forum.

Is there a security hole or should the process reconsidered for registering to the forum?

I like this forum very much and dont want to search for news between the spam-messages.

Sorry I got no idea how to force it....only a SD to SATA/IDE-Adapter 

  it seems that you copied/dd'ed from the old Card the 1GB System Partition to the new Card onto a 2.8GB Partiton,
BUT with this action only a 1GB Partition is recognized because the filesystem end after 1GB.

On a Harddisk (you could try this also on a pc with the card in the SD-Slot) I would try GpartEd Live
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
With GPartEd I would delete the Swap-Partition (part of your Disk), expand the Part2 (System) to 2.8GB and after that
create a new swap (around 500MB) as Part3 at the end of the Card.

Done this on a harddisk with a Windows-Partition...you could try this with a backup of your card 
GPartEd Live is a Linux-Live-CD and should also be capable to expand ext2/ext3-Partitions.

Good Luck!

Give this URL a try: http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=297.0

Did you, after creating the swap-partition, generate the swap-file-System on your device like
mkswap /dev/sda3

And the partiton has the right id as Swap-Space (0x82)?

Did you use the u-boot from this link?:
http://groups.google.com/group/openrd/attach/82f086b82c44e412/u-boot-3.4.19-openrd.zip?part=2

And do you did the update like for a sheevaplug like on this url?:

-----------------------------------------------------------
setenv serverip 192.168.1.2 # IP of your TFTP server
setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.200
bubt uboot.bin

I want to try this on my OpenRD Ultimate....

Are there any OpenRD Users here?
Which OpenRD do you use/have?

Which OS did you (successfully) install? (Fedora/debian lenny/squeeze / ARMSlack)
Do you did install a grphical Desktop and which (Gnome/KDE/LXDE etc)
Do yout got or know something about the SATA-Install-Kit?

Where do you search for informations?
Here and at OpenRD-Google-Groups (open-rd.org), NewIT-OpenRD-Forum and OpenRD-Sheevpalug.de
arent much infos/Messages or OpenRD Users or Entrys...
So...where should we OpenRD-users go for information?

My Ultimate doesnt seems to get hot at the Ram-Area lik on the OpenRD Bas/Cleint.

Here a info regarding the boot-time from http://newit.co.uk/shop/products.php?cat=5
which sells sheevaplugs from globalscale:
The original SheevaPlug Development Kit
Either chose the original, out-of-the-factory configuration, which boots Ubuntu 9.04 from the internal NAND, this is a jsff2 - formatted file system and takes around 2 minutes to boot.  Or the UBIFS version, configured to boot a slightly trimmed-down version of Ubuntu 9.04 from the internal NAND, the system is somewhat more up-to-date, and takes around 25 seconds to boot.

How about the WDTV HD Live? ( see http://b-rad.cc/974/wdtv-live-unboxing-undressing/ )
- It is AVAILABLE
- It has a case :-)
- It can run Linux / debian with a custom firmware
  see
  http://b-rad.cc/wdlxtv-live/   and
  http://b-rad.cc/1058/debian-on-wdtv-live/
- It has 2 USB and one Ethernet Port
- It cost around 100EUR (or $120)
- It has 256/512MB DRAM
- It has 256MB Flash
- It has also HDMI
- It has also optical Audio Out
- It has some CoProcessors (DSP)

 4- Must be quite and doesn't include any moving parts
10- Must be build out of high quaility-parts (power-supply / flash / conenctors)
 8- Must have the best power efficiency (should have not over 40 Celsius)
 3- Must be packaged within an enclosure (vs.  bare-bones)
11- Must have the option to switch to a external power-supply
    (or power-supply detachable which leaves a standard-low-ower voltage-port)
12- Leave the jtag/rs232-port inside the case
 5- Must have slick design and look. (the case should have a passive cooling-system)
 2- Must be in the price range $100-$150
 6- Must have the highest processing power available (vs. lowest price/performance).
 7- Must have the smallest footprint possible.
 1- Must be plug computer form factor and pluggable to a wall outlet.
13- Must have a real SATA-port
14- Must have a min-pci WLAN-Card
15- Must have a status display
16- Must have an optional profession case for installing a harddrive
 9- Must be below $100

What did you try?
Did you press all cables vey frim in thier sockets (was the first problem of mine)
Did the USB-Cable connect properly (a problem mostly with Sheevas)?
Did you set the switch correct at the JTAG-Interface?
Did your computer recognize the JTAG?
Did you install the drivers for the JTAG?
Did you get a virtual COM-Port?
Did you set the right COM-Port in putty?
Did you set the Flow-Control to NONE? (OK, you did :-) via the N in 115200,8,N,1)
Did you hit Enter in putty for the prompt?

So..this are my first ideas :-)

Yes I agree, but why seems it so hard to show us a picture of the "professional upgrade kit"?
So that I could decide to buy the kit from GlobaleScale or try to build my own (better) version...

Is this the "Professional Upgrade Kit"? Or just the Basic version?
I was hoping for a new part-case with a temperature-controlled fan
and a better heat-sink.

You can, but the PogoPlug Pink has "only" 256MB Ram and 128MB internal Flash-Memory.
But thats more Ram than the Dockstar and if you are using a USB-Device as Boot-/Root-Device
it can be very useful.

A PogoPlug can also be reconfigurated to debian ( search for Jeff Doozan and Pogoplug ).

Here you can compare the Plugs:
