I've just installed Debian on my Iomega ix2-200 using the OpenRD
installer and arcNumber 1682 (the ix2-200 identifies itself as such
during it's factory boot sequence). I tried several times,
unsuccessfully, using the "correct" arcNumber 3119, but Uboot failed
with "data abort" when trying to load the kernel and initrd images.
The only things that don't work is flashing the kernel and controlling
the fan. The second being the biggest problem, as the thing tends to
run very hot after a while...
Guess one could flash the kernel by hand, if one knows the correct
device name/adress..?
Unless anyone knows how to control the fan on ix2-200, I guess I'll
manually short it "on" for the time being...
Regs,
