Pogoplug E02: Kernel does not boot

Hello,

my kernel does not boot. See boot log and the enviorment. Via boot/uEnv.txt is set the machid to ffffffff

any suggestion what to do?f

It looks like you did not do this section:

4. Create uImage with embbeded DTB (If this is not first time installation, please see Note 2 below). 

I'm using the GoFlex Net booting with USB drive as an example here. Please replace its name (kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb) with the box you are installing on (for example, kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb). Look inside /media/sdb1/boot/dts/ for the correct DTB file name for your box. 

cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1  zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync

Since your envs are set up to boot without the DTB file for Pogo E02, so the DTB must be appended as described in section 4.

Thanks for the reply.

I did now the above steps on an utbuntu 14.04 x86 system using kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb.
Still the same problem as above.
It does not boot from usb.
Any further idea, may be my environment is buggy?

If this is what actually in the env, then yes:

machid=ffffffff

It should be the Pogo E02 machid.

Do this in serial console:

setenv arcNumber 3542
setenv machid dd6

and then boot into Debian

boot

Once you're in Debian then use fw_setenv to set them permanently.

Also, because of these settings:

usb_root=LABEL=ROOTFS
usb_rootfstype=ext3

Your USB parttion label must be names to rootfs, and the partition file system must be ext3. See this for explanation:

Sorry for late reply.

I am still stucked at the same point. The kernel is not booting. I used the poge02 dts.

Any further ideas?

Please post:

- printenv in serial console
- entire serial bootlog

also post rootfs info on your Ubuntu box (if it is mounted at /media/sdb1)

mount
e2label /media/sdb1
ls -latr /media/sdb1/boot

Hello,

here the logs

wzecke,

With serial console showing your boot log stop at the point where it usually indicates that your kernel uImage is faulty. I suggest that:

1. Make sure your rootfs is formatted as Ext3.

2. Regenerate your uImage as instructed in the rootfs thread. If the USB was mounted in your rescue system as /media/sdb1, then:

cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1  zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync
sync

and reboot.

Still the same problem as before. Kernel does not boot.

wzecke,

Let's start again from scratch:

1. Download the rootfs 3.18.5 tarball and recreate the rootfs (note the partition label must be rootfs, i.e. lowercase). This time, do not append the DTB (skip step 4).

2. Create a uEnv.txt file on the USB rootfs with the content below. If it is mounted as /media/sdb1 then:

cat /media/sdb1/uEnv.txt

4. Take this USB rootfs to the Pogo and boot.

Kernel complains that machid 0x831 is not supported.
Changing to 0xffffffff still does not boot.

Still no kernel boot

wzecke,

Do this procedure exactly, copy/paste (don't do "reset" or any other commands that are not in this procedure).

1. Use the existing rootfs 3.18.5 that you have.

2. Remove the uEnv.txt file on the USB rootfs

3. Sync and umount.

4. Take this USB rootfs to the Pogo and power up.

5. Interrupt serial console, and execute

setenv device '0:1'
setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb'
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb $device 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv load_uinitrd 'ext2load usb $device 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv load_dtb 'echo loading DTB $dtb_file ...; ext2load usb $device 0x1c00000 $dtb_file'
setenv usb_boot 'mw 0x800000 0 1; run load_uimage; if run load_initrd; then if run load_dtb; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000 0x1c00000; else bootm 0x800000 setenv 0x1100000; fi; else if run load_dtb; then bootm 0x800000 - 0x1c00000; else bootm 0x800000; fi; fi'
setenv bootcmd_usb 'run usb_init; run set_bootargs_usb; run usb_boot'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_usb; reset'
printenv
boot

And pls post the entire serial console log here.

Attach the log. Still no progress.
I tried in the meantime another usb stick and and ua sb hard disk as well. In addtion I tried all USB ports.
Or is this not a Pogoplug E02? It attached the cpuinfo.

It is the Pogo E02. Otherwise you would not have been able to boot with the new u-boot.

You should not see this:

Using machid 0xffffffff from environment

Do the same procedure, but in step 5, erase machid:

5. Interrupt serial console, and execute

setenv machid
setenv device '0:1'
setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb'
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb $device 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv load_uinitrd 'ext2load usb $device 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv load_dtb 'echo loading DTB $dtb_file ...; ext2load usb $device 0x1c00000 $dtb_file'
setenv usb_boot 'mw 0x800000 0 1; run load_uimage; if run load_initrd; then if run load_dtb; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000 0x1c00000; else bootm 0x800000 setenv 0x1100000; fi; else if run load_dtb; then bootm 0x800000 - 0x1c00000; else bootm 0x800000; fi; fi'
setenv bootcmd_usb 'run usb_init; run set_bootargs_usb; run usb_boot'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_usb; reset'

Download the 3.16 rootfs, recreate your rootfs on another Linux box. And post the entire process here so can double check for you.

No error during format to ext3.

Chaning machid to dd6 still no boot of the kernel.

wzecke,

1. What type of USB stick are you using?

2. There should be only one parttion type Ext3 on this stick. And this partition boot flag should be set to active.

Part	Start Sector	Num Sectors	UUID		Type
  1	32        	9766880   	000326e1-01	83
  2	9766912   	21936128  	000326e1-02	83

Please wipe out the USB stick, and create one Ext3 partition, and tar the 3.16 rootfs to it, and set the label, as you did before.

The end result should be similar to this:

fdisk -l /dev/sda

Disk /dev/sda: 3.8 GiB, 4096596480 bytes, 8001165 sectors
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: dos
Disk identifier: 0x2c2e55f1

Device     Boot Start     End Sectors  Size Id Type
/dev/sda1  *      128 8001151 8001024  3.8G 83 Linux

3. And try again, this time with additional bootargfor earlyprintk:

setenv set_bootargs_usb 'setenv bootargs console=$console root=$usb_root rootdelay=$rootdelay rootfstype=$rootfstype $mtdparts earlyprintk=serial'
printenv
boot
