Congratulations! Another ix2 saved from the rubbish bin!

Well done

It's alive !

I tried the steps from the thread and it failed the same, so I tried another USB Pen drive and it worked.

The one that fails is a Micro Center cheapest 16GB pen drive. The one that works is a micro sd Class 10 8GB in a type A adapter.

The wrong uboot env's were just my slow learning curve. I think I over read all the posts and got lost. Bodhi's last post got me back on track.

Thanks a million for the help. This is now one more device that won't become E-Waste.

My ix2 could be fairly picky with the type of drive. Seemed to prefer 4gb or less and only usb2 drives.

I’m not clear what your uboot envs are intended to do though. The ix2 requires the dtb to be appended to the kernel, it won’t work if you load it separately as the uboot ver is too old.

Dave,

FAT32 will not work for rootfs. It can be used for kernel files only.

Best if you format the USB drive as ext3, as instructed in the release thread. And that's all you need to boot Debian on USB.

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Quote

1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs. If you are running the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood then you can use Ext4. But be aware that Ext4 file system format needs to be "finalized" before it can be used for booting.

2. Mount the drive on a Linux box. cd to top level directory and extract it. It is assuming the USB drive is mounted at /media/sdb1
cd /media/sdb1
tar -xjf Debian-5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

That is to say, the ix2 USB. The USB Pen drive works perfectly.

I'll start tomorrow with the various USB commands in u-boot to see what it's view of it all is.

So, I tried the steps from jdwl101 10/22/18 11:53 PM with the variation ;

Optional, use ar-lex’s DTS and DTB, specific to the IX2-DL (only)
IX2-DL custom DTB

Following the links, I copied his .dts and .dtb to a fat32 usb drive and executed the following ;

--------------------------------------

At which point, after seeing a capital ' T ' for a while, I got : 0 Storage Devices found, Sense 00:00:00

So, after thinking a while, I remembered seeing a lot of ext2 verbage in various posts and brought up a ubuntu system and converted the usb drive to ext2 and copied the .dts and .dtb files to it again.

Unfortunately, the same result.

Maybe I have a hardware USB problem ? When I tried to boot from USB with the Lenovo Imager I had problems as well...

Thank you. I have a trail to follow.

I'll follow it Sunday after Thanksgiving at the other state families.

Dave,

Since you have serial console, you can try booting with the latest Debian rootfs on USB: Debian-5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Scroll down to 26 Sept 2021

Quote

Updated 26 Sept 2021:

Basic Debian bullseye Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs:

After you've created the rootfs, following the instruction in this post to set up envs in serial console to boot it:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,102054,105374#msg-105374

Remember to avoid executing any other command at serial console (so you don't accidentally save the envs) until after you can boot into Debian rootfs.

=========

The above instruction is non-destructive, so just remove the USB rootfs and it will boot back to stock. Further changes in envs will allow it to boot Debian, and then (if it cannot boot) will fallback to stock OS (as a rescue system).

After you're happy with the way the system is running on USB rootfs, then move on to clone that rootfs to the HDD.

That's what i thought. Thanks for the reply.

I was hoping to be able to revive one with issues I picked up for $10 as just the NAS device it is, but everything I try fails or makes it get bricked worse it seems.

I'd like to try the steps to upgrade it and load OpenMediaVault, but think if I tried it now with it not working ' stock ' I may irreversibly brick it and it will become e-waste.

It seems to make it through the U-Boot OK and eventually brings up the Debian login. And sits there forever at that point. I am at a loss after trying this, trying that for days. I get another idea, try it, and fail again. I tried the Lenovo imager and it doesn't seem to even read it.

If anyone more experienced than me has a spare minute, could you point me in the right direction ? The boot below was with 1 clean SATA drive in hdd2 position and no usb pen drive and no reset button pushed. Thanks in advance for any insight any of you may have.

Re: HOWTO: Lenovo ix2-dl / Stock U-Boot, boot current kernel, access printenv from Debian, load kernel from GPT ide drive

bodhi — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 15:16:23 -0600

Dave,

This forum is about running the latest Linux kernel and Debian system on old hardware (you can buy those for a really low price comparing to what it was when these boxes first release).

Keeping them from becoming e-waste. And make it possible for someone to spend less than 20 USD to have a box with latest Linux SW to play with. The Lenovo ix2-dl is just one among many.

Dave — Fri, 19 Nov 2021 13:15:11 -0600

Hi ;

I'm new to all this and seem to be missing the big picture.

Is the goal of these changes to create a new system for the ix2-dl software to run better on, or to just replace it all and get a piece of random hardware to run some form of Linux ?

You are booting a version 2.6 kernel, looks to be stock. That is not going to work.

Follow my instructions to the letter and write a modern kernel to the drive sectors, that will be able to boot bodhi’s rootfs

Dear Bodhi and jdwl101,

I am now trying to boot from HDD and with a lot of trying finally getting it working
everything worked out fine, even the image gave OK check. Till that point of removing the usb and then set the env and boot with this:

setenv bootcmd 'ide device 1; ide read 0x40000 0x5000 0x2000; ide read 0x2100000 0xA000 0x4F00; bootm 0x40000 0x2100000'

it gave me a fail on check of the linux kernel and didn't wanna start. I was reading here

i checked the ide read of another post here and they where different so i tried those:

setenv bootcmd 'run usb_boot; ide reset; ide read 0x40000 0x800 0x1800; ide read 0x900000 0x2000 0x2000; setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root) $(bootargs_mtd) $(bootargs_end); bootm 0x40000 0x900000'

with this i made myowne setenv command:

setenv bootcmd 'ide device 1; ide read 0x40000 0x800 0x1800; ide read 0x2100000 0xA000 0x4F00; bootm 0x40000 0x900000'

With this command and then boot it started from HDD opened the initfs and the kernel., but then something strange happened:

Marvell>> setenv bootcmd 'ide device 1; ide read 0x40000 0x800 0x1800; ide read 0x2100000 0xA000 0x4F00; bootm 0x40000 0x900000'

And this never stops. I even cannot get a reset or nothing only powering off helps.
I tried to look on internet for help but couldn't find any anwser.

I hope that one of you can help me with this.

Many many thanks in advanced special Bodhi for helping me out to get USB flawlessly working.

Hi,

As Bodhi said a serial console is really needed for the ix2. You need to be able to see what happens as it runs through uboot. That said, the serial pins are present on the board so it is very easy to connect to.

While it could be possible to make the required uboot changes from the default OS, I wasn't able to get that to work due to limitations in the default set up and you may be left with a box that won't boot anything.

If you use my instructions it should be straightforward to get it running. Start with usb first. These boxes are pretty quick and useful once the factory software is replaced.

Also, you will need to prepare a debian usb stick on another linux box. Bodhi's instructions are pretty straightforward.

Happy to answer any questions you have.

Yes. Since jdwl101 started with serial console, the instruction is based on that.

To write an installation procedure starting from inside stock OS, jdwl101 or somebody needs to go back to stock and test that. So it is not available.

After you got it booted with Debian rootfs, then SSH in as usual.

good day,

i hope this is the right place to ask a maybe stupid question, which I cannot find easily an answer for by scrolling through all these threads.
I have a working iomega ix2-ng and a spare iomega ix2-ng, which i would like to use with full Debian.
Is a serial connection/jtag needed to set this up ? Can it be done without, by preparing on another linux pc the disk and inserting it into the ix2-ng ? if the latter is true, how to prepare the image ( i guess the partition labelled rootfs) so that it will allow ssh / telnet connectivity to take over control ?

thank you

Hi ix2fbz,

Using dd to copy your usb to the hard disk is unlikely to work, create a new partition and create a new rootfs on it, using the original archive.

You can copy a rootfs - there are some instructions in the wiki post - but I'd suggest starting fresh.

Also, to start the hard disk booting first try loading the kernel and initrd from your usb drive before going full hard disk booting. This will eliminate issues 1 at a time.

Cheers,
J

thanks bodhi! USB booting working like a charm!

Trying to figure out IDE booting now.

In my limited understanding dd'd the usb drive I created to spare HD i had a round. I created an ext2 20gb partition and named it rootfs.

Then I tried via tty to boot from this:

setenv load_initrd 'ext2load ide 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd' 
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage' 
setenv ide_boot 'run load_uimage; run load_initrd; bootm 0x800000 0x2100000' 
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x80000@0(uboot),0x20000@0xa0000(env),0x20000@0xc0000(env2),0x300000@0x100000(uImage),0x400000@0x400000(initrd),0x3f800000@0x800000(boot),1024m@0x0(flash) earlyprintk=serial'
setenv bootcmd 'run ide_boot; ide reset; ide read 0x40000 0x800 0x1800; ide read 0x900000 0x2000 0x2000; setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root) $(bootargs_mtd) $(bootargs_end); bootm 0x40000 0x900000'

then run boot

Problem is I get a bad partiion then badmagic number error.
In debian I can mount the drive and view the files. Could the dd method of duplicating the usb drive be the problem?

ix2fbz,

That error usually inidicates that the rootfs partition was not labeled as rootfs.

So mount the USB rootfs on another Linux box. Assuming it is assigned as /dev/sdb1,

Check if the label was actually rootfs

e2label /dev/sdb1

If not, set it

e2label /dev/sdb1 rootfs
sync

And then try booting again.

You're a legend bodhi! Thanks for your help. It boots off USB now.

I'm getting the following error:
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! LABEL=rootfs does not exist. Dropping to a shell!

I feel like the first time it booted it went further than this. I tried extending the rootdelay (20s) but this ddin't help. I must be doing something incorrectly creating the rootfs usb stick?

Re: HOWTO: Lenovo ix2-dl / Stock U-Boot, boot current kernel, access printenv from Debian, load kernel from GPT ide drive

bodhi — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 22:27:44 -0600

ix2fbz,

Your bootcmd is currently:

bootcmd=ide reset; ide read 0x40000 0x800 0x1800; ide read 0x900000 0x2000 0x2000; setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root) $(bootargs_mtd) $(bootargs_end); bootm 0x40000 0x900000;run bo2

And you did

setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd' 
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage' 
setenv usb_boot 'usb start; run load_uimage; run load_initrd; bootm 0x800000 0x2100000' 
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x80000@0(uboot),0x20000@0xa0000(env),0x20000@0xc0000(env2),0x300000@0x100000(uImage),0x400000@0x400000(initrd),0x3f800000@0x800000(boot),1024m@0x0(flash) earlyprintk=serial'

That was not enough. So try again

With the USB rootfs attached, interrupt serial console and run the same envs, but also need to modify bootcmd env:

setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd' 
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage' 
setenv usb_boot 'usb start; run load_uimage; run load_initrd; bootm 0x800000 0x2100000' 
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x80000@0(uboot),0x20000@0xa0000(env),0x20000@0xc0000(env2),0x300000@0x100000(uImage),0x400000@0x400000(initrd),0x3f800000@0x800000(boot),1024m@0x0(flash) earlyprintk=serial'
setenv bootcmd 'run usb_boot; ide reset; ide read 0x40000 0x800 0x1800; ide read 0x900000 0x2000 0x2000; setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root) $(bootargs_mtd) $(bootargs_end); bootm 0x40000 0x900000'

And then

boot

Hi guys, thanks for yoru contributins to this forum especially jdwl101 + bodi. Hoping you can help me. I'm trying to revive an old ix2dl without drives. Don't really have a use for it, but figured learning a bit would be neat prjoect and maybe repurpose this instead of it going to the recycler.
I tried following the guide and can't seem to get to boot from USB i'm using the 4.12 rootfs file.

I do this:
setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv usb_boot 'usb start; run load_uimage; run load_initrd; bootm 0x800000 0x2100000'
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x80000@0(uboot),0x20000@0xa0000(env),0x20000@0xc0000(env2),0x300000@0x100000(uImage),0x400000@0x400000(initrd),0x3f800000@0x800000(boot),1024m@0x0(flash) earlyprintk=serial'

Get teh following error:
## Booting image at 00040000 ...
Bad Magic Number

Full disclosure I really have no idea what I'm doing but willing to learn.
Hope you can help.

Hi edd;

I agree with Bodhi, try re-writing the kernel and image to the sectors.

Once they're written use imi command in uboot to test to make certain they're loading correctly.

If you're using different / more recent images they may be larger than mine and require revised load commands to load the whole image (most likely the initrd has grown).

J

Re: HOWTO: Lenovo ix2-dl / Stock U-Boot, boot current kernel, access printenv from Debian, load kernel from GPT ide drive

jdwl101 — Wed, 24 Oct 2018 14:33:56 -0500

Further details on the ix2-dl should anyone need them, I've added some useful items to my Google Drive share;

- the recovery usb creator
- uboot GPL sources
- 'Lifeline' GPL sources
- ix2-dl specific DTB

Available here; IX2-DL software

I also have a copy of the images on the UBIFS flash, nothing particular of note that isn't explained in the posts above.

Some additional info;

Server Performance for the Ix2-DL on Debian Squeeze / Kernel 4.18;
- NFS ~65MB per second
- Samba ~63MB per second

That is around double the stock performance, see SNB Review

Format of the Flash boot partition is UBIFS, easily mounted using UBI Attach;
