Linux Kernel 6.8.7 Kirkwood upgrade, cannot login anymore into device

Pogoplug e02


After upgrading to Linux Kernel 6.8.7 Kirkwood (from linux-6.7.5-kirkwood-tld-1), cannot login anymore into device.
Linux debian system is on usb device.
I didn't touch anything else, just upgrade via putty ssh port 22 from lan, sync, then reboot.

"arp -a" shows device is online, i can ping it too.


followed instruction from page
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096,page=1

step 4 is 4a.


Regarding 5.a Important Note: Check your uInitrd size to see if it is larger than 11 MB.
i did this last year (adjusted u-boot envs so uInitrd can be larger than 11 MB)

B. Load addresses for large systems
Set the env permanently to give another 16MB to load uInitrd (i.e. allow for initrd that is up to 27 MB in size).
i did B.1 step

Quote

fw_setenv load_dtb_addr 0x2c00000


Uboot is latest 2017.07-2023.04 U-Boot.


How can revert back to linux-6.7.5-kirkwood-tld-1 (i didn't remove it) ?



ps
just checked, unplugged ubs drive, i have Jeff Rescue System v2 installed on pogo e02, managed to login via ssh

Yes, your Initrd size has grown larger.

Boot with netconsole again as above

Interrupt the count down, and

setenv load_dtb_addr 0x1c00000
setenv load_initrd_addr 0x2100000 
setenv load_uimage_addr 0x800000

And then

For some reason boot with netconsole and entering those 3 commands doesn't save settings.

Now i installed "Debian-5.6.7-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2" into other usb stick, can log into, but got stuck with those 3 commands

-bash: setenv: command not found.

I guess i need to use command
fw_setenv


Is this correct form ?

fw_setenv load_dtb_addr '0x1c00000'
fw_setenv load_initrd_addr '0x2100000'
fw_setenv load_uimage_addr '0x800000'

@jst818,

So did it boot OK? please be more verbose. I need to confirm this fact so I can update the instruction.

> For some reason boot with netconsole and entering

The setenvs are only temporary.

Yes, fw_setenv are used in Debian. What you should do in Debian is
fw_printenv
And then see that the envs look OK, go ahead and do

fw_setenv load_dtb_addr '0x1c00000'
fw_setenv load_initrd_addr '0x2100000'
fw_setenv load_uimage_addr '0x800000'

After doing 3 setenvs it did boot, but problem stayed the same (cannot log into - connection refused).

Will found out what happens when i use fw_setenv from normal boot, but using newly created rootfs "Debian-5.6.7-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2".



Update:
nope, it didn't help with fw_setenv either (cannot log into - connection refused).



Will continue tomorrow.

OK.

Also see this note it the isntruction for Debian-6.5.7-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2

Quote

Note 7. Ethernet Naming Issue (Optional):

In Debian 12.4, the ethernet "Predictable Names" scheme is enabled. So the ethernet device assigned is no longer "eth0", but is "end0". This "predictable naming" scheme broke a lot of existing applications that still relying on "eth0" is the network device name. It does not affect this Kirkwood rootfs (due to some setup I had in the past).

However, if after a future Debian upgrade of this rootfs, the network is no longer eth0, then this is the way to bring it back.

cat /etc/network/interfaces
rename /end0=eth0
auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Beware of software apps, such as OMV, that do not respect users' configuration and so wiping out this change during its installation! I'd suggest to make a backup of this file, so you can compare that with any new /etc/network/interfaces after installing OMV, and restore the rename command.

There are also many other ways to force the eth0 name. However, it is more cumbersome to do than just watching out for this file being changed by OMV or other major apps installation. Also, other methods might not survive a future Debian upgrade :)

My latest hypothesis include: PeerGuardian (got this package installed around 8 years ago** and was working fine (the whole system&package) until got kernel "linux-6.8.7")
https://sourceforge.net/projects/peerguardian/files/PeerGuardian%20Linux/2.3.1/

**edit: it was Debian stretch Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 24 Jul 2017 or even Debian jessie from 24 Feb 2015 (Debian-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2)

Updated 18 Apr 2024:

Kernel linux-6.8.7-kirkwood-tld-1 package has been uploaded. The following features were added/updated:

- General kernel upgrade.
"General kernel upgrade" are usually major suspects to break something that was working fine.


Why i believe this is the case (combination of PeerGuardian +kernel linux-6.8.7, not only the latter) ?
Found spare usb and installed clean latest roofs "Debian-5.6.7-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2", upgraded to kernel "linux-6.8.7" [1], upgraded to debian 12 [2] (one step at time [1], [2]), and i still haven't got "connection refused".

Then i wanted to replicate now my broken setup with installing PeerGuardian 2.3.1 into latest debian with kernel 6.8.7 (upgrade from clean latest roofs 5.6.7), plus debian 12.4.

https://mitchtech.net/peer-guardian-on-raspberry-pi/#comment-3113885377
after some reading (file INSTALL) i got what is bare minimum:
./configure -disable-dbus  -enable-lowmem  -without-qt4 -sysconfdir=/etc

required steps:
unpack pgl-2.3.1.tar.gz
cd /pgl-2.3.1 #where are files

./autogen.sh OR autoreconf
./configure #for bare minimum look above
make
make install


./configure step is where i got stuck, error message was something about netfilter ip tables, something long (2 lines error).
Wasted around 3 hours yesterday, then had something else to do.
From what i remember, 8 years ago had no problems installing PeerGuardian.


Will try again when i have some spare time, right now i am running debian 11.9, kernel 6.7.5 and shrinked initramfs.

Interesting.
debian 11.9, kernel 6.8.7

Cloned rootfs to spare usb key which surprisingly works fine with kernel 6.8.7 (roofs ext4 , swap partition, NO data partition )
ext4 rootfs was made in terminal, and there is no raid/lvm or anything else, only plain ntfs partition which mounted just fine with kernel 6.7.5:
mkfs.ext4  -L rootfs -E lazy_itable_init=0  -O 64bit /dev/sdc1

original rootfs with (roofs, swap partition + ntfs data partition via ntfs-3g) results "connection refused".
I didn't see that coming.

ntfs data partition via ntfs-3 is mounted into /mnt/hdd

For test purposes commented ntfs line in

/dev/sda3 /mnt/hdd ntfs-3g defaults,big_writes 0 0

now system boots fine, debian 11.9, kernel 6.8.7, no "connection refused". via ssh.



On win machine ran chkdsk /f f:
and got result everything is ok with ntfs data partition.
Windows has checked the file system and found no problems.

This box does not have RTC, so we need to install fake-hwclock to get a sane system time each boot.

now system boots fine, debian 11.9, kernel 6.8.7, no "connection refused". via ssh.

I'd suggest removing this from fstab permanently. If you use sysvinit, the mount statement can be placed in /etc/rc.local. If you use systemd, then create a target to mount it.

fstab is not useful anymore for things other than for rootfs and swap file/partition. And whenever there is some problem, it could propagate to other part of Debian. So in my systems, all data partitions are mounted after rootfs has been mounted and Debian is running.

Ok, removed
/dev/sda3 /mnt/hdd ntfs-3g defaults,big_writes 0 0
from /etc/fstab

added it to /etc/rc.local, reboot

and still got mount error:
root@pogo:~# ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/hdd
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Device or resource busy

Again, with all previous kernels except 6.8.7 it was ntfs-3g mount doing fine.

How about remove that from /etc/rc.local, and just mount it at command line like this
mount -o noatime,big_writes /dev/sda3 /media/sda3

or if the partition has a label:
mount -L $disk_label -o noatime,big_writes /media/$disk_label

ntfs-3g looks like no-go combination with kernel 6.8.7 at least for me (ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Device or resource busy)., fstab or mount makes no difference.

Looks like kernel 6.8.7 is not so innocent upgrade for ntfs-3g "module":

And if you use ntfs3 (not ntfs-3g), you will probably have to adjust mount options, otherwise you will get read access only

issues with auto-mount of ntfs filesystem using Kernel 6.8
The kernel changed default ntfs driver from FUSE one to ntfs3.
These two are not fully compatible, mainly as far as mount options go. If you have custom mount options in the fstab (or any other application, such as VeraCrypt) they need to be changed.

Symptoms:
Mount fails with: Device or resource busy
DMesg reports: Can't open blockdev

Solution:
Migrate your mount options. For me the changes were:

allow_other → umask=000
default_permissions → [drop]
user_id=1000 → uid=1000
group_id=1000 → gid=1000

tl;dr
kernel +6.8.7 + ntfs-3g is no go

And because Kernel 6.9 will completely remove ntfs-3g 2, it needs adjusting many things to adopt the new modifications.

this one is newer ntfs as ntfs-3g from debian repo (at least for buster, bullseye).

Yes. That would be best.

Regardless, I would still recommend avoid mounting data partition in fstab. Let the kernel boot and rootfs mounted first so you'd have a working system.

This is how I blacklist the kirkwood_thermal on Zyxel NSA325

cat /etc/modprobe.d/kirkwood-thermal-blacklist.conf
# This file blacklists the kirkwood_thermal module on ZyXEL boxes with 6282 SoC

blacklist kirkwood_thermal

So just add a new conf file blacklist_fs-ntfs3.conf.
blacklist ntfs3

Turns out ntfs-3g on my debian 12.7 x86 host can mount and write NTFS, but not pogo debian 12.7 (v4 in my case) with same disk and volume, craving to have pogo be able to do it.
