Hi doublecheese , I had the same problem with my meteohub system running on the sheeva. I solved it within 20 minutes by replacing the defect power supply with a 5V 3A wall wart power plug. Everything was running well again. All is described as already mentioned in http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=1318.0. Cheers and have fun with your Meteohub.

I had a similar problem, I solved it by sending my plug back to NewIT. I didn't get any useful messages with dmesg and lsusb. I got a new one within 4 days. Very good support from NewIT With the new one no more any problem with the usb port.

I think this is the known problem on a power-on boot up! So far the only thing that has worked is to have two mmcinit; commands. See MMC/SD support in u-boot Posts: 23 Re: MMC/SD support in u-boot « Reply #50 on: September 20, 2009, 10:24:44 AM » Reply with quoteQuote Quote from: CqCn on September 18, 2009, 08:35:39 PM westyd1982, The solution to this problem in a slightly different context was given here by me ~1 week ago. I am in a bit of a hurry; search for recent msgs from me and you would see it. CqCn - I'm not sure I found your solution. I tried adding rootdelay=10 to my bootargs_root. It didn't make a difference. So far the only thing that has worked is to have two mmcinit; commands. On a power-on boot up, the first one fails, and the second one works. On a reboot they both work.

Today I got a replaced new Plug from NewIT. And again the same issue, uncorrect date and time! Thats why I installed firstly Ubuntu to my 4GB SD-Card with sheevaplug-installer-v1.0 and setup Date with ntpdate pool.ntp.org and hwclock --systohc. Afterwards I started the Debian queeze installation with the debian installer according http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html And as expected, the installer was running perfectly ! There was only the known problem that sheeva was not booting from power on. I solved this by inserting a second mmcinit in --> setenv bootcmd_mmc 'mmcinit; mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0 0x0800000 /uInitrd; ext2load mmc 0 0x400000 /uImage' Thanks all for your help and good ideas!

Hi jimjack, have a lock to post 7, the installer also dies on installing busybox and there was also an uncorrect date. This was also my second Plug ant it was from NewIt too. At least I sended it back due to the brocken USB. Could it be that there is something wrong with those NewIt Plugs? I'll get a new one in the next days and will test it then.

Hi TBM just a feedback regarding my Sheevaplug not working with Debian installer. This sheevaplug has got a defect and I reshipped it to NewIt. Thus I cannot investigate my problem with debian installer at the moment. Hopefully the new one will run without any problems. Thanks for yor help.

Debian installer not working! As I got now my second sheeva I'd like to install debian on it. I tried to install according Michaels how to. http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html First step Upgrading U-Boot via tftp was no problem. Second step --> Starting the Installer doesnt work completely. TFTP: if you want to load the installer via the network from a TFTP server, use this: setenv serverip 192.168.1.2 setenv ipaddr 192.168.1.147 tftpboot 0x0800000 uInitrd tftpboot 0x400000 uImage this works fine but after starting the installer with: setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200n8 base-installer/initramfs-tools/driver-policy=most bootm 0x400000 0x0800000 I got this and nothing more Marvell>> bootm 0x400000 0x0800000 ## Booting image at 00400000 ...

Quote from: klauterbach on September 27, 2009, 06:48:01 PM Note: Currently my plug doesn't boot properly on initial power up. However if I press the reset switch after powering up the device boots correctly. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I solved this problem by inserting a secound mmcinit in --> uboot-mmc-custom.txt # Bootcmd to be used after all installation is done real_bootcmd setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); mmcinit; mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x800000 /uImage; bootm 0x00800000

My problem is solved. The point was "grep: installer/uboot-custom.txt: No such file or directory" . (Due to the help of user fragfutter I was able to find out, that this file was missing in my installer directory) I don't know why. After downloading and installing with a new sheevaplug-installer-alpha-6.tar.gz th plug is running now.
