I have a simalar issue with my PE. I think I killed the filesystems with a random act of dd and getting my if and of mixed up. I can't connect to my PE with adb, but I can use the u-boot terminal (Thanks nikkie for the pics!). Here is an excerpt from the log that I think describes the problem. Not able to mount root. I think I shot the partition table.

[ 15.582779] No filesystem could mount root, tried: ext3 ext2 vfat msdos ntfs fuseblk
[ 15.590658] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0)
[ 15.598956] Rebooting in 1 seconds..
Does anyone have an idea about how to manually start adb services from the u-boot menu? Is it even possible?
The other route I was thinking about was to connect the usb to a Linux box and run tftpboot from the u-boot and have a script fdisk the PE and rewrite the partition tables. Would this help vicinc too? Does anyone have the details of the partition tables so I can give it a try tonight after work?

Many thanks,
Jim :-)
