You bet. I'll follow up later today with some links.

@ralphy, here's a link to download the basic root filesystem that I last
used to boot from (I made a bunch, this is the most recent):
http://www.sodface.com/res/tmp/202002270337-armel.tar.gz
Let me know when you have it and I'm going to take the link down. I was
going to post all this stuff up

Quick testing indicates this may have fixed it! In fact, just :::0

I think I have a partial repo ready, and by partial I just mean
ever
Here's a tarball for a script to create a root file system from the
repo:
http://www.sodface.com/repo/armel-rootfs-x86_64.tar.gz
It consists of the following:
Code:
.
├── apk-tools-2.10.4
│ └── apk
├── armel_genrootfs.sh
├── busybox-links.txt
└── keys
Thanks for getting the repo setup and the rootfs creation script. I did
script all the steps to create the dockstar fs using the rootfs file you
posted earlier, but that's a better option.
To set the timezone I had to download the tzdata armv7 package and

No problem, I'm glad for the extra testing and feedback.

Thanks for building the tzdata package. I just installed it on the
dockstar and pogoplug pro.
As a test I have the pogoplug building alsa-utils and all the
dependencies ATM and there are a lot.
If it completes successfully I can zip up the lot and PM you a download
link if you'd like.

There's only 650 .apk files in the directory though which has me a
little confused. The APKINDEX file must have more entries than there
are actual packages. Need to figure that out.

Looks like the boot loader was successful.
That's all the messages you'll get using netconsole. Output from the
kernel booting is not displayed.
Did you enable ssh connections as root by adding
PermitRootLogin yes
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
and these lines to the bottom of /etc/securetty

Thanks for the quick reply.
I believe sodface's armel_genrootfs.sh already enables PermitRootLogin.
I also tried adding those 4 lines to /etc/securetty, but still couldn't
ssh.
Here's how the boot process goes on the pogoplug_v4:

Dug through the /var/log/message file on rootfs, turns out the pogoplug
could not get a DHCP address from the router.
Assigned a static one at /etc/network/interfaces, and lo and behold:
