Hi, I just received my SheevaPlug shipment yesterday, and today I've been trying (and failing) to install Fedora 12 onto it. I'm trying to set up the plug to boot off nand. Unfortunately the instructions on the wiki are pretty sparse. I'd consider myself a Fedora expert, but I'm definitely new to ARM and embedded systems (modulo some time I spent with a TuxScreen system about a decade ago). I've downloaded the f12 root filesystem and modified it as per the wiki. I also downloaded the 2.6.32.21 kernels from http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/2.6.32.21/ (as per the wiki), but I have no idea if these are the "right" packages to use. I only chose this because it's the version of the kernel my F12 laptop is running). Then I downloaded the sheevaplug installer (again, as per the fedora arm wiki), but of course it didn't work on my fedora-12 64 system; the problem was that runme.php needed "<?php" instead of just "<?" in order to get php to run... and even when running in an su environment, it still thought I wasn't root. After trying to comprehend the sheevaplug-installer readme, googling to figure out where to find the uboot-custom.txt, and then finally getting the installer running, then I get the dreaded "No valid NAND flash driver found": **** Burning uboot and environment variables ...

I think there are enough hits on the web to reflash my uImage, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to flash the rootfs.tar.gz into mtd2. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
