Hello,

If possible, I'd like to have some clarification on the following 2 points:

When I boot my GuruPlug, I always get these error messages on the console:

   Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0
   *** ERROR: `ipaddr' not set
   ping failed; host 192.168.2.1 is not alive
   No link on egiga1
   *** ERROR: `ipaddr' not set
   ping failed; host 192.168.2.1 is not alive
   (Re)start USB...
   USB:   Register 10011 NbrPorts 1
   USB EHCI 1.00

-1- As far as I've understood the uboot concept, the ping error comes from the environment variable:
  => x_bootcmd_ethernet=ping 192.168.2.1
  My questions are : What's the purpose of this ping command ?
                            Should I change the IP to something else ? (like my default gateway or something else)

-2- The second error "`ipaddr' not set"
     My questions are : What's the purpose of this (other) IP ?
                            Should I change it to the guruplug's IP  ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Eric

They're probably related to network booting in the factory. If your plug boots fine with those settings, leave them that way.
