But tadaaaaa there is an alternative to copy the GPT partition scheme from one disk to another.

Install gdisk, it’s also available in the Ubuntu and Debian repositories.

Copy the partition scheme from /dev/sda to /dev/sdb:

sgdisk -R=/dev/sdb /dev/sda

Now randomizes the GUID:

sgdisk -G /dev/sdb

Thanks it :-)

Some days ago, i realized that there is an copy & paste problem between mutt and some other windows (terminal, editor, whatever). This only happen by using mutt in an screen session.

After searching in the internet i’ve found a solution that changes some settings in the ~/.screenrc:

defbce on
term screen-bce

Useful information from df7cb.

There is a reboot / freeze bug in the firmware 2.40a of the Soekris BIOS. After an reboot of the system the BIOS freezes with the output:
POST: 012345

So i started to update the BIOS version to 2.41a. The upload to the board works but the flashupdate return an error.

Error, Incorrect signature of BIOS image.

The Solution is easy but hard to find. Using the uManager, a ARM based out-of-band management. Follow the instructions to update the BIOS:

  • Type ‘+++’ just after the board is powered up in the console. Pressing the reset button for more than 3 seconds to power down the board.
  • Use “download -” to update the BIOS.
  • Follow the instructions from the Soekris Wiki for the Xmodem settings.

Helpful answer from Luc in the mailing list and some information for the uManager BIOS update.
