My Dreamplug S/N is DS2-1221-xxxxxx, and my original U-Boot version was U-Boot 2011.06 (Oct 15 2011 - 02:02:08). My current version is U-Boot 2012.04.01 (Jun 01 2012 - 02:17:08).
I just added the above information to the wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/DreamPlugTesting I've been having problems with the weekly image lately. freedom-maker mostly works for me, with a few problems however. When I boot from USB stick, my stick is /dev/sda and my card is /dev/sdb. But freedom-maker I think assumes that the stick is /dev/sdc and the card is /dev/sda. So I always have to manually update /etc/fstab and /sbin/copy2dream. Another thing I always have to do manually is add the hwaddress settings to my /etc/network/interfaces. BTW my Guruplugs still work fine with with freedom-maker. Markus On Sat, Nov 10, 2012 at 9:09 PM, Nick M. Daly <nick.m.d...@gmail.com> wrote: > Olivier Berger writes: > > > > "Nick M.
