I have some problems...
The file pli-Iolite-dm500-20071230-4014-Dropbear-CCcam205.img do not work on my dm500 only a black screen after flashing with DreamUp 1.3.1.0
but the file pli-Iolite-dm500-20071230-4014.img working. Do you have some tips.

[bartender]

Not sure to be honest, sounds like the flash didn't work correctly as I have used both the root.cramfs & dreamup to ugprade from the PLI Iolite 2008 ed to the build I have made many times without an issue. Try downloading and re-flashing, and doing a "flash erase" when prompted in Dreamup.

I also assume you are doing a Serial (non-network) upgrade using dreamup?

[Lusen]

I have re-flasht it an "flash erase" yes I have tried network and serial.

Is this any help.......

@bartender
I've unpacked your uploaded image and you have supplied dropbear4pli.tgz in the root of the squshfs. I think your image is too big to fit...
I've recompiled it and supplied the new CCcam 2.0.7.

Be aware that I haven't tested the uploaded image - use it at your own risk...

it starts.....
Now testing dropbear......hmmmm
root@(none) ~ # ssh 192.168.0.8 -l
ssh: Warning: failed creating //.ssh: Read-only file system

[hutten]

ssh: Warning: failed creating //.ssh: Read-only file system

Strange...
When I look in the startup-scripts the folder /var/.ssh should be created, and as far as I know /var is not Read-only...
Could you please check if /var/.ssh and /var/etc/dropbear is created?

Does the image work besides that?

[bartender]

I think there is a symlink from /.ssh to /var/.ssh in my image... will check my image later to make sure, but that could be it.

The image works great
but i don´t get gSUB to work
2SUB: FT_New_Face failed: Operation not permitted, for font: /share/fonts/pakenham.ttf
2SUB: FTC_Manager_Lookup_Face failed with Errorcode 0x00
2SUB: Probably because font was not found:/share/fonts/pakenham.ttf

but bullstext work.

[rotfisch]

You could add the symbolic link /.ssh to the image before flashing.
But I did it by just changing the home directory for the user "root", which is normally "/", to "/var". Just edit the /var/etc/passwd so, that the first line looks like this:
root:[some encrypted password]:0:0::/var:/bin/sh
