Hi Craig,
If it's running, then by definition nothing is missing. If you kept a copy of the install log, look for the part where it ran "flash-kernel". That puts everything needed into flash. Glad it worked out! I learned a lot from this thread, myself.
Now, for the next step, you might want to do a dist-install of wheezy. My experience was that I had to do the following:
Modify /etc/apt/sources.list to use wheezy instead of squeeze
#apt-get update
#apt-get upgrade
#apt-get dist-upgrade
#shutdown -r 0
Unfortunately, it came up with squeeze again, so I had to run dist-upgrade again:
#apt-get dist-upgrade
And now it's wheezy
Bob

Subject: Re: SS4000E - partitions restoration [was: Re: SS4000E install problem]
Hi all
I had a chance to play some more with this unit again last night. I was able to successfully restore all partitions but one, partition 8 vendor. From what I have learned this is the file system. It kept failing during the y modem transfer. I managed to get debian installed on it and have it auto start. It seems top be functioning well. Running squeeze
Is it possible to restore the original firmware from debian and if so how?I just want to see if it would restore the missing partition.
I saw earlier in the thread about getting Jessie installed. Is it possible and how?
Also now that I have debian installed is it possible to restore the partition from it and what might the command be.
Thanx in advance for all the super support. It's nice to see this thing come back to life.
Craig
