Can't install get installers to talk to the Sheeva

[ncherry]

Okay followed the commands you gave me and ran into an error on the run command (wanted an env variable) so I just dropped the word run from the commands. I put the rootfs.tar.gz onto a usb stick that was formatted to ext2 and it was happy with that except it gave me an error about not finding uImage and modules.tar.gz. I reset and was greeted by a login prompt (Yeah!). I logged in and I have a working Plug again. Now onto MisterHouse (home automation). I'll have to load a few modules but that's later.

Thanks!

The Sheeva has been running well and I now have Misterhouse working on the plug. I did notice that while booting the Sheeva complains about the following:

Code:

NAND device: Manufacturer ID: 0xec, Chip ID: 0xdc (Samsung NAND 512MiB 3,3V 8-bit)
Scanning device for bad blocks
Bad eraseblock 2122 at 0x000010940000
Bad eraseblock 2500 at 0x000013880000

I think explains the trouble with using the JTAG from the command line. So is this permanent or something that can be fixed?

Bad blocks is perfectly normal. 2 is fewer than average; most have 3-5 bad blocks; the most I've seen was 19 IIRC.
