hi bro1
try from nlb image.

flash with nlb image,and try again., reread this thread. ,create single partition,format it ,copy enigma file, unmount your usb.
and re-enter bootarg.

you d ont need usb0 , you can

cd /mnt/usb
mkdir bro1

mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /mnt/usb/bro1

your usb is now mounted on bro1 directory.


after you finish unpaking enigma file, run

cd /
umount /dev/sda1
or
umount /mnt/usb/bro1
now you can unplug your usb.


i will be back on monday, i hope you will fix it this weekend

catseye, we need three different things to do.
1. format stick
2. put enigma
3. change environment with console and putty f.e.

you can use a mini guide I posted before for first two. In flash you need to have SIF or NLB or DGS image. I dont know why bro1 had so much troubles with it. I never spend more than 15 min. for puting E2 on usb stick.

Ok, now is clear where you make mistake. I nowhere wrote to remove usb stick when you once to start with formating usb stick and puting enigma on it.
Each time I would live it in, tur off rec, wait about 30 sec., and than start enigma with pushing adequate button on RCU.

no it only worked when i did this bit

after you finish unpaking enigma file, run

cd /
umount /dev/sda1
or
umount /mnt/usb/bro1
now you can unplug your usb.

Right, i will start at the beginning -i have a sandisk cruzer 2 gb usb stick

In PPM it says the following is usb stick inserted &
Underneath it reads Logical disk (k) primary 15.6mb
Extended partition extended 1.8gb
Logical disk logical Linux Ext3 1.8gb

Does that sound ok before i place stick in box & try loading E2

It looks ok. Up your image from flash, and after it up, put usb stick
telnet
cd /tmp
mount enter, and check there is
"/dev/sda1 on /mnt/usb/usb0 type ext2 (rw,sync)"
sda 1 could be different, for me is for example sdb1 or some like it.
If it no exist, make new format disk and try again.
If it is OK you can go on with preparing and instalation.

The version of Arken did it for me, even when I have a 900hd with HDD.The usb-stick doesn't matter much.It should be big enough.I've tried it with several even a nameless one.
Important is to format into an extension ext2 or ext3.Check this at boot startup into telnet.This will save you a lot of searching for other problems.

Maddy2005,

You're not explaining exactly everything.

Maybe the multiboot for your box is wrong or the final stage after unpacking.The right order is sync, cd /, then umount, then hard reset(wait 30sec).This order should work for everybody. This procedure is posted here.http://www.sat-universe.com/showthread.php?t=114542&page=2

The best way is to split the usb-stick in two partitions.With NLB on flash you can format and make a swap-part.
Than you'll avoid a problem when recording with E2 on stick.
