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.

Hi bodhi, thanks. I've made this changes but the problem still persists:

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 ;)
