I have followed your excellent guides to reconfigure my PogoPlug B03 OXNAS [I thought I had bought an EO2 but when it arrived I realised it was a V2 case with a V3 board). I have loaded the latest U-Boot successfully ( U-Boot 2015.10-tld-2 (Oct 21 2017 - 22:00:02 -0700) OXNAS OX820 and have been able to boot openWRT via tftp as well as following the rescue instructions to allow my plug to boot from the original linux partition. In the main, I am using a serial console plugged in to this device but I can access the booted platforms with putty across the network too.

I have tried installing what I believe is the latest Debian from your instructions here

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 60500000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-4.14.180-oxnas-tld-1
   Created:      1970-01-01   0:16:36 UTC
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    4609276 Bytes = 4.4 MiB
   Load Address: 60008000
   Entry Point:  60008000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK

During the boot process, I saw this message sequence

[    3.780710] hctosys: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)

The last two lines on the serial console before it hangs completely are:

[    4.008005] [<c014a270>] (cpu_startup_entry) from [<60101868>] (0x60101868)
[    4.014958] ---[ end Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(0,0)

The USB stick is EXT3 formatted 8GB capacity/partition. I blanked the stick and formatted it on a system which uses Zorin. On my last attempt to create the Boot drive, I extracted the files and linked (ox820-pogoplug-classic.dtb) using the the new kernel on the Pogoplug B03 via the serial console command prompt.

Anyone got any thoughts on where I should be looking?

Thanks - Bob

From a quick look it appears you forgot the step to label the USB ext3 partition as rootfs. On another Linux system insert the USB stick and run the following commands as root user (these assume your Linux system assigns sdc to the USB device):

# e2label /dev/sdc1 rootfs
# e2label /dev/sdc1

The second command should return the "rootfs" value. If so labeling was successful. Now eject the USB stick and move it to you Pogoplug and power on. It should now boot successfully. If it does not please post the entire console log.

BobM,

Please create a new thread in Debian subforum.

And Ray please re-post response in that thread.

I noticed this new kernel being downloaded heavily today!

Am I being scanned by a bot, or there is a sudden interest because there is a firesale for this old box somewhere? :)

OK, the curtain for this kernel is coming. Linux mainline will remove support for OXNAS.

ARM: drop SMP support for ARM11MPCore

Being sad :(

However, OpenWrt is still supporting this kernel down stream. We will track that kernel. Hopefully we will see kernel 5.15.x for OpenWrt.

Longterm release kernels

Version	Maintainer	Released	Projected EOL
6.1	Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin	2022-12-11	Dec, 2026
5.15	Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin	2021-10-31	Oct, 2026
5.10	Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin	2020-12-13	Dec, 2026
5.4	Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin	2019-11-24	Dec, 2025
4.19	Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin	2018-10-22	Dec, 2024
4.14	Greg Kroah-Hartman & Sasha Levin	2017-11-12	Jan, 2024

So my goal is to get it to 5.15 and build 5.15.x-oxnas as the last stable kernels for this SoC.
