Boot from hdd on Stora

Hi all. I am really stuck. Following the guide: HowTo: Stora - Debian Stretch and OMV4 I've been able to boot debian from USB stick. Everything fine. After a few minutes playing with my new debian, apt installs, etc, the USB started to show bad sector errors, well, it crashed.

I thought that I could do the same with usb but install rootfs to HDD and try to boot from there (keeping stock uboot), so I formatted the hdd just how it's done in the guide (2 partitions: 8Gb ext3 and 256Mb swap) copied rootfs to /dev/sda1 and I have changed the bootcmd this way:

bootcmd_ide=ide reset; ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; ext2load ide 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(console) root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10; run bootcmd_ide; bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; reset

just replacing the bootcmd_usb from the guide to bootcmd_ide

Now the console shows this error:

Do I miss something?

bootcmd_ide=ide reset; ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; ext2load ide 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(console) root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10; run bootcmd_ide; bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; reset

With stock u-boot, should be

bootcmd_ide=ide reset; ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; ext2load ide 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(console) root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10; run bootcmd_ide; bootm 0x800000 0x2100000; reset

Power up, interrupt serial console, enter the envs like you did. And

printenv

And boot. If it is not booting, then post the entire serial boot log.

I assume that stora with one only disk must be /dev/sda. I also tried with partition label to rootfs, but the error in that case was that it could't find partition with label rootfs, so I devided to hardcode the partiton to boot.

Does it matter where the bay I plug the disk?

Thanks in advance.

I've just tried to change the disk from one bay to the other and it has passed last point, it went a bit forward:

Hi! I re-created the root filesystem from the last tar.bz and it worked! thanks a lot. Maybe I'l come later with more questions ;)
