Used --rootkernel instead of --nandkernel and got a little farther... Plug will boot but only sees the original kernel, not the updated one. I created a symlink to the new kernel, but still no dice. Ideas?

I tried installing a new kernel and the script can't find mtd0 to write the kernel. I am assuming I have to alter the script to make it write to the correct location, but I don't know said correct location... Any ideas?

Fantastic! Thank you very much

This looks great; I've created an image and plan on trying Debian tonight. One question though: which kernel will this new rootfs be using? The kernel shipped in the SheevaPlug installer? Is it possible to update the kernel using the Ubuntu update method (./README... etc.)? Thanks again for this tool!

It's a shame I just found this - I ditched Transmission on my plug and started using it on my Mac Mini instead. Great news though, good work.

You are a fabulous human being. 

Any chance of integrating IPSec?

Got my second plug today; threw this on immediately. Besides some missing instructions (which I found in this forum), v1.0 worked great. I can't believe how fast my plug boots.

I would like to build my own kernel for my second plug which incorporates IPSec; I would like to use my second plug as an L2TP/IPSec VPN. I'm using OpenVPN on my first plug beautifully, but I am in the market for a new challenge. I am wanting to know what resources I should seek out in order to include IPSec support into the new 2.6.30.6 kernel; any advise would be greatly appreciated.

When you attempt to connect to your plug using SSH from an outside network, are you typing in your external IP address? For example, are you typing: "ssh username@XX.XX.XXX.XXX" where XX.XX.XXX.XXX is the address of your modem or are you typing from the external network "ssh username@10.0.1.5"?

What error message are you getting? You said you can connect from your internal network without issue, correct? Can you ping your plug from the external network?

First ShPlg: Ordered 6/9/2009 - Delivered 7/29/09
Second ShPlg: Ordered 8/23/09...

I was getting ouput like that when my baud rate was incorrect... I am not sure why you would see normal output then the garbage, though...

I know for a fact this works... I am using the exact same hardware and I am using 3 different SSH tunnels as we speak.

What does your Port Mapping menu from within the A.P.E. look like? What is the internal IP address of the plug? Have you tried bypassing the A.P.E. altogether and connecting the plug directly to your modem?

IPSec == impossible? I would be interested in building a custom kernel based on 2.6.30.5 with IPSec if someone could point me in the right direction...

I am trying to get a VPN up and running, but this kernel doesn't have IPSec support...? Do I need to compile a custom kernel to get IPSec working? Is this even possible with this kernel?
