that is why i want a netconsole haha. It choked on my FSTAB values, because i was noticing the leds were blinking like it was in kernelboot,

LABEL=bck_rootfs is not mounted
[/sbin/fsck.ext3 (1) -- /mnt/usb] fsck.ext3 -y -C0 LABEL=bck_rootfs
fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'LABEL=bck_rootfs'
fsck exited with status code 8

ok, so finally got this bugger purring like a kitten but now im at the final steps of moving the rootfs from usb to HDD.

Ive tried the method with changing the LABEL and that works fine for the filesystem, but not so good for the bootloader.

I cannot boot without USB attached.

i was fighting with the variables: devices / device / rootpath, but it does not make sense.

I think it cant find /dev/md0p2 but using /dev/sda1 wasnt working anyway..

i was just trying to connect the hdd with the LABEL var as the rootFS. But it seems it always MUST load Uimage and Uinitrd from usb.

Any suggestions? i might be just overlooking one small thing after 4 days of trying.

Also i want to setup netconsole next to booting process just so i can monitor, but im still kindof learning the uboot environment variables.
