Linux Kernel 5.4.268 Oxnas (OX820) Pogo V3 package and Debian rootfs

bodhi,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, dpkg creates initrd.img-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1. But it doesn't seem to create initrd.img-4.1.0-oxnas-tld-1.

Nilk,

Post the log of this:

No luck. I might have messed up with the dpkg config files somehow.

Now that I have some free time to get back to this subject for the new OXNAS kernel. I'm afraid the bad news is I'm going to wait out longer before building the OXNAS kernel. Since the 4.1 is a LTS kernel, it is basically 1 more year before it become obsolete.

This was my conlusion after researching. There is an inherent problem with SMP in the ARM11MPCore, that people have been trying to solve. If anybody is interested, read the whole thread. This is cache cohenrency problem that's inherent in ARM11MPCore:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg177415.html

Basically, why OpenWrt patch for OXNAS works: PREEMPT is not used. So OpenWrt kernel is a desktop oriented kernel, not preemptive. Our kernel is preemptive (which in layman speak: more responsive), while a non-preemptive kernel is time-shared (less responsive, more suited for multi-user system). That brought me to do more research, and my finding seems to indicate that all OpenWrt kernels are non-preemptive.

Now the show stopper. I've built the OXNAS kernel using the exact configuration that OpenWrt used, and it runs fine! However, as soon as I added Debian features (such as initrd) to the configuration, the cache coherency problem surfaced :) So it is either I did not get all the necessary patches in, or it is just an issue of OpenWrt patch is not enough to work around this fundemental problem. Note that it cannot be solved, just working around.

We've been running this kernel up until 4.1 without problem. But apparently something changed in the newer kernel that has brought out this architectural problem in ARM11MPCore once again.

hi,
i installed the Debian-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 package and rebooted.
all fine. then i made a dist-upgrade to jessie and got the warning:

Please upgrade your kernel before or while upgrading udev.

AT YOUR OWN RISK, you can force the installation of this version of udev
WHICH DOES NOT WORK WITH YOUR RUNNING KERNEL AND WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM
AT THE NEXT REBOOT by creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file.
There is always a safer way to upgrade, do not try this unless you
understand what you are doing!


dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/udev_215-17+deb8u4_armel.deb (--unpack):

what should i do at best? (didnt i read that 3.17.0 is already jessie ready?)
jay

jay,

Debian-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 is still wheezy. So when you upgrade to jessie, you will need to

1. Install the latest kernel 4.1 in the 1st post. Make sure it works first.

2. change apt source list (adjust the mirror to your location)

cat /etc/apt/sources.list

deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian jessie main
deb http://security.debian.org/ jessie/updates main contrib non-free

deb     http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-updates main contrib
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian jessie-updates main contrib

3. And then do

apt-get dist-upgrade

4. Most likely you will need to regenerate uInitrd after the upgrade in step 3.

hi bodhi,
thanks.
then i misinterpreted the info.
i will try again with first updating to kernel 4.1...

meanwhile i tried to finish the upgrade by creating the /etc/udev/kernel-upgrade file and complete the dist-upgrade

now it boots fine with the 3.17 kernel. but one bad thing:

on boot:

[ OK ] Started LSB: Starts klogd.
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-ttyS0.device.
[DEPEND] Dependency failed for Serial Getty on ttyS0.
[ OK ] Reached target Login Prompts.
[ OK ] Reached target Multi-User System.
[ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface.
Starting Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes...
[ OK ] Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes.

and the serial console is dead...

if i connect by ssh, i can see the boot was sucsessful.
what could be wrong with ttys0?

edit:
i recall my question:
I found out that a newer version of systemd requires a kernel with configuration option CONFIG_FHANDLE=y
so it seems that this is also a kernel issue...

tnx
jay

Just go back to sysvinit. And you can always boot systemd whenever you feel like it later.

To go back to sysvinit

apt-get install sysvinit-core sysvinit sysvinit-utils

Hi There
Just got my bricked pogoplug connected (physically) to my ubuntu computer, OK that's as far as I got, after which there are full instructions on how to make the Dolphin valves expurgate the thribble device without extruding the plong matrix (I'm a tad confused as the instructions assume a certain level of competence, which I am sadly lacking) .

So, is there a dummies guide?

I want to know how to compile the UBOOT file (and where it is when I have done so) Pogoplug E02 (Pink)

How to connect to my pogoplug using JTAG and read the information (what terminal window and what utility to use)

How to flash UBOOT to the NAND on my pogoplug

(I know that I'm asking a huge one, but all the how tos I have read are assuming that I "simply" do certain actions, I have been back and forth serching for answers and they aren't defined (I'm assuming that this is due to the multiple pathways that can be taken) can we have an instruction set that plots it out in steps that newbies can get their heads around please, with pictures would be lovely)

Rob Malkin,

> So, is there a dummies guide?

No, there is no dummies guide. It's a hacking forum, so generally the guides assume you have some basic knowledge of Linux, and you can use the man page to learn command line syntax.

To start learning how people do certain things, look at the Wiki thread:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,23630

> How to flash UBOOT to the NAND on my pogoplug

See the u-boot thread for Pogo V3 (Note that it is different from the Pogo E02).

Hi bodhi,

do you have any plans to compile a new kernel for the Pogo?

Thanks

Not atm. Since there is some developer actively trying to mainline thix box, I am waiting to see if that effort is successful before renewing this subject.

It's good to hear that there may be that possibility. In the mean time though I have discovered that the patch for kernel version 4.1.0 provided in bodhi's tarball in the original post works on the latest 4.1-series kernel (4.1.33). It took around seven hours for my pogoplug to compile it, but it works:

user@pogoplug:~$ uname -r
4.1.33-oxnas-tld-1

The bad news is we have not heard from this developer regarding mainlining OX820 for a couple months! So I am pessimistic.

Update to my earlier post:

Kernel version 4.1.34 has been released, and that seems to work with bodhi's 4.1.0 patch as well:

user@pogoplug:~$ uname -r
4.1.34-oxnas-tld-1

Good news! There is activity upstream for the Pogo V3. Will see if I will be able restart this kernel too.

Update:

This activity looks very promising.

Hi,

I'm currently upstreaming the OXNAS platform, on my spare time, a few patches by kernel version.

As for 4.9, OX810SE is booting, as for 4.10 which will released in february 2017, OX820 will have SMP, NAND & Ethernet support.
The Upstream kernel does not implement the FIQ SMP fixup, but a less performant but more generic fixup inherited from ARM's MPCore platform.
USB support needs some quirks and PLL support, which must be evaluated.
PCI needs cleaning a pushing the driver, but I only own a PogoPlug V3 without PCIe.
I will maybe be able so push a single-slot SATA driver, but USB is my priority for next development period.

If someone wants to collaborate, there is a mailing list at : linux-oxnas@lists.tuxfamily.org
A patchwork sub-project : https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-oxnas/list/
and a Linux repository clone at https://github.com/OXNAS/linux with all the work pushed here.

Hi Neil,

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for doing all the hard works upstreaming this box.

Several of us here own the Pro version with PCIe.

I will build a test kernel from the OXNAS Git as you have set it up, and provide it here so anyone who is interested will jump in and help with testing.

Thanks to Superna for the inspiration and the information from upstream code :) Between that and OpenWrt patches and some google-fu, I've finally tracked down the root cause of the SMP kernel panic.

So I should be able to restart distribution for this kernel again in the near future.

Hi Bodhi,

First thing, Thanks for all your work Bohdi! Without it, we'd no longer be able to enjoy our Pogo's.

My Pogo v3 Debian system running on a hdd became very unstable after running very well for over a month. I had it set up and just left it basically idling 24-7 next to my other Pogo's. I noticed it was no longer available on my local network after I read the post about setting up a print server. I could managed to get it restarted, but it would only stay up for a min or so.

Without really troubleshoot it, I assumed the used hdd, which was determined "bad" by a local computer shop, is / was the culprit. The hdd did test bad via my own testing using GSmartControl with NTFS format prior to reformatting it to the ext3 and 4 files systems. It tested OK after that, so i used it on the Pogo v3.

Without retesting the hdd in question, I decided to do a new Debian install on a USB again. I nuked the original after copying it to the hdd. The new USB install is pretty much a duplicate of the original.

U-Boot 2015.10-tld-1.
Debian-3.17.0 rootfs
Kernel: linux-4.4.38-oxnas-tld-5.

The reason for this post is to communicate that I had some issues with both installs on updating the kernels. I thought the first install was just me screwing up somehow. I did manage to get the kernel updated in both cases, but with workarounds to get uImage and uInitrd. I don't exactly recall what I did on the first install. For the second install, I copied pasted uImage and uInitrd after the stock Debian kernel finished installing, but wouldn't boot. So I used your kernel, and used uImage and uInitrd from the unbootable attempt. If I skipped step 4, I had an error about not having something available needed to create uImage and uInitrd. I never did experienced a flash-kernel error.

Have any ideas where I may have missed something? I'm pretty sure it's related to step 4 below.
Could a prebuilt uImage and uInitrd be provided with linux-4.4.38-oxnas-tld-5.bodhi.tar.bz2 ?
Could you also please explain the kernel update process, keeping in mind I'm not familiar with Debian?
Does the kernel update span across a Debian release cycle?

4. And install it with dpkg. If you encounter error with flash-kernel when running dpkg, then remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem (It is much better to generate uImage and uInitrd manually anyway):

cd /boot
apt-get remove flash-kernel 
dpkg -i linux-image-4.4.38-oxnas-tld-5_5_armel.deb

I managed to copy my terminal output during one kernel update attempt per below. I was installing it in a cleaned empty /boot directory.

My current working USB install below. Have any clues for the odd network related output. I don't recall exactly what config change attempt (of many tries) that actually fixed it. I prefer DHCP over static and had it working on the prior install without all the errors. 192.168.same is my router ip.

Hi Jeff,

Everything looks goodl (except the dynamic IP).

1. The first errors when you install kernel with dpkg is OK. Because:

- The current kernel can only be removed with dpkg -remove or dpkg --purge (purge = remove and purge config files). Removing kernel files in /boot will not effect the installation, it only prevent booting that kernel because of missing files.

- When installing same kernel on top of the one running, dpkg will warn the users that the modules needed to be preserved if there were changes in there since installation (e.g. extra modules were installed). So you went ahead with the installation, the modules were copied on top of what were there.

- errors about missing ./build is OK. Just an artifact of my build process.

2. weird output about network! but it looks OK the 2nd time. So please monitor your serial console and let me know if you see that ".same" again,

UPDATE:

On closer read, it does look incorrect the 2nd time. But did you get the IP assigned after all? or no IP assigned?

UPDATE2:

Like I said above, if you have installed any extra modules (not likely since you did not mention it) then those modules will need to be reinstalled.

Update3:

When you said "stock Debian kernel" above, which kernel did you mean to refer to?
