I installed Plugbox Linux, now and sata works fine.

How to is here: http://plugapps.com/index.php5?title=PlugApps:Install_to_UBI/UBIFS_on_NAND_memory

OK, i setup netconsole and see this:

U-Boot 2010.06-00695-gbd23130-dirty (Aug 30 2010 - 23:04:56)
Marvell-Dockstar/Pogoplug by Jeff Doozan
Marvell>> ide reset
ide reset
Unknown command 'ide' - try 'help'
Marvell>>

And yes, the site http://www.plugboxlinux.org/index.php5?title=PlugApps:Goflex_Net_custom_u-boot_and_kernel explain how to build a own kernel and a own uboot. I will try that.

But, would the existing patches included in original kernel/uboot sometimes?

I didn't want to compile a own kernel :)

Is there no other way?

The Dockstar uBoot doesn't have support for IDE or SATA (because the Dockstar has neither). Wait until you have a serial cable and then follow Peaslaker's directions for building a uBoot with SATA support.

a "serial cable" is ordered ;)

What's about "ide start" ?

Should i do this:

fw_setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; ide start; usb start; run force_rescue_bootcmd; run ubifs_bootcmd; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; run rescue_bootcmd; run pogo_bo
otcmd; reset'

I added "ide reset" in "bootcmd":

fw_setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; usb start; run force_rescue_bootcmd; run ubifs_bootcmd; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; run rescue_bootcmd; run pogo_bo
otcmd; reset'

But didn't change anything...

Save yourself the headache and get a serial cable.

The GoFlex Home is uncharted territory, and I'd urge you to be a little more careful with what you do to it: not everything that works on the Dockstar is going to work for you on the GoFlex and you don't want to end up bricking your device.

Thank you for the link, jeff. But i have no serial access to the box, yet :(

Now i'm thinking about the uBoot variables.
Current fw_printenv here: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/277466/

There is nothing about "ide"... no "ide reset" ore something else... (Note: I don't want to boot from ide)

Peaslaker has done a lot of work with GoFlex Net. I would start by looking at his stuff here.

Now i tried the rescue system. dmesg from it: http://paste.pocoo.org/show/277460/

Same with "modprobe sata_mv". It doesn't do anything except the new line in dmesg: "libata version 3.00 loaded."

Some more information:

I found a dmesg from a similar to my Hardware (Feroceon 88FR131, Kirkwood: MV88F6281-A1): http://pastie.org/1232798
There exists some entries from "sata_mv".

In my dmesg: http://pastie.org/1232828 is no "sata_mv".

I also do this:

root@GoFlexHome:~# modprobe -r sata_mv
root@GoFlexHome:~# modprobe -v sata_mv
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-kirkwood/kernel/drivers/ata/libata.ko 
insmod /lib/modules/2.6.32-5-kirkwood/kernel/drivers/ata/sata_mv.ko

But in dmesg would only add the line "libata version 3.00 loaded." :(

I also add this to modules:

Quote

root@GoFlexHome:~# cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.

scsi_mod
libata
sata_mv
sd_mod

"modinfo sata_mv" and "modinfo libata": http://paste.pocoo.org/show/277456/

As described in http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,1738 i installed debian on my GoFlex Home.

The Problem: The SATA Port doens't work.

I changes the default arcNumber (2097 - Marvell SheevaPlug) and tried:

I also load with modprobe every driver in:

/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-kirkwood/kernel/drivers/ata
/lib/modules/2.6.32-5-kirkwood/kernel/drivers/scsi

Nothing happens. I only see some messages in syslog, but no error. Hotswap the HDD doesn't do anything.
