I just got the PlugPC a few days ago and have been playing around with it since. The first thing I did was to change the root password before updating the Ubuntu install, which I later found out is what you really shouldn't do. I locked myself out.
So now I am attempting to boot the the TFTP/NFS method. I am fairly new with Linux so I had to put a fresh install of Ubuntu on my laptop and install all the TFPT and NFS servers. Its been a rough process of slow trial and error but I have made some progress!
Now that the weekend is coming to an end I have hit another wall. When I boot the PlugPC, I get this error:
Marvell>> boot

I am not sure if this is a problem with the TFTP and the uImage kernal or if it is with the NFS and the rootfs. I have been using all the stock files from the CD (the uImage, rootfs). I extracted the
Linux Host Filesystem - rootfs.tar.bz2 into the
/tftpboot folder and pointed the rootpath in u-boot to that folder.
Here are my u-boot variables. I just changed some to beable to easily switch between the nand and the NFS.
