Will do, as soon as I get some time

the disk is detected but I get errors : 

[17226686.184000] usb 1-2: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and
address 16 
[17226686.384000] usb 1-2: not running at top speed; connect to a high
speed hub 
[17226686.400000] usb 1-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice 
[17226689.492000] usb-storage: probe of 1-2:1.0 failed with error 1

so, no /dev/sda* are created

I guess I won't be able to do that, is it hopeless ?

I tried but the karma isn't detected by the firmware uploader.
