Yes. You could install Debian rootfs first, and then u-boot. Or do both at the same time. Serial console is highly recommended.

I'm trying to reinstall my PogoPlug Pro, and I'm having difficulty getting network access to it. I installed the 3.17 rootfs to a 2TB drive, and the system seems to be booting successfully. If I pull the drive and connect it to another system, I can see the /var/log/dmesg file being updated correctly. However, I can't seem to find out the IP address of the system. I don't have a serial console, and I don't know what IP address this system is writing to for a netconsole. (I set it up years ago, and it hasn't needed maintenance until now).

Any suggestions so I can login via ssh?

When you use an existing rootfs to boot another identical box, you will need to make sure the udev rules for persistent-net are removed or modified. This usually causes network problem because of conflicting MAC address.

To make it really simple, remove these 2 files (or rename them to *.save so that they will be regenerated by udev using the new MAC address) before mounting to the other box:

/etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
/lib/udev/rules.d/75-persistent-net-generator.rules

To reuse the rootfs for many boxes, it is best to modify them (instead of removing). If you want to do that, pls post back for instruction.

Well, I'm not trying to reuse an existing rootfs. I have a a Kirkwood PogoPlug on my network already, but that's running Debian Jesse. The oxnas one is supposed to be elsewhere for off-site backup purposes.

I renamed the existing two udev rules files, but they aren't getting regenerated.

I looked at the dmesg file, and there's no mention of any network device. The log stops after the rootfs is mounted and the journal checked.

I also put an entry in rc,local to dump the contents of fw_printenv, and there's barely anything there:

bootcmd=bootp; setenv bootargs root=/dev/nfs nfsroot=${serverip}:${rootpath} ip=${ipaddr}:${serverip}:${gatewayip}:${netmask}:${hostname}::off; bootm
bootdelay=5
baudrate=115200

Ah! I misunderstood this

If I pull the drive and connect it to another system, I can see the /var/log/dmesg file being updated correctly

If you u-boot envs are like that then it surely won't boot. If it did boot then the correct envs were set temporarily during u-boot. Which u-boot is on this box?

You should check this rootfs /etc/network/interfaces, if it shows dhcp then you would find its dynamic IP in the network. What did /var/log/dmesg show?

I don't remember what version of uBoot is installed on this box. It's probably rather old, since I haven't played with it in a year or two, but I don't recall if it was upgraded when I did the initial installation. Perhaps I should try an older rootfs and see if that helps?

Here's the contents of /etc/network/interfaces:

auto lo eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth0 inet dhcp

agiorgio,

I see. Your box has a pretty old kernel. And you are running a hybrid Arch kernel + Debian rootfs. And you are running with stock u-boot (or Arch variant).

> [    0.000000] Linux version 2.6.31.6_SMP_820

You can download the rootfs in the first post of this thread, following the instruction to put it on a USB drive and boot. In addition, you can install the new u-boot at the same time:

Well, I tried two different rootfs from that thread (Debian-3.12.13-oxnas-tld-5-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 and Debian-3.17.0-oxnas-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2). Neither one got my system on the network. I also tried varkey's rootfs (debian-rootfs-pogopro-varkey.tar.gz), and that produced a strange error regarding the MAC address for the network interface.

I've splitted your booting problem into a different thread (the forum split functiona does not leave behind a notice):

I try to use kernel 4.4 with Akitio Mycloud mini and stage1 loader from u-boot version 2013.10 capable to load u-boot and kernel from sata using sata as root device too.

This does not work. It always mounts root readonly and naturally falls in kernel panic while accessing virtual memory.

Is there some trick to make it mount rw? I have used GPT and MSDOS partition tables with the same result.

Edit: Is it possible even with correct root-parameter in bootargs u-boot passes kernel wrong information and it does try to use nand as root device?

Please post serial console log (and printenv output in serial console).

BTW, did you build kernel 4.4 using my patch? I'm having a kernel panic running it pretty early and trying to troubleshoot. I think it's a bad build/patch so I am reviewing my new patch.

I'll get log ASAP. The device is now busy with hard drive check.

I got the kernel source directly from openwrt. Do you have your patch somewhere in the github?

tilator,

Ah, I did not know openWRT has realeased kernel 4.4. That's a really good source, I should go look at their patch.

I've only published up to the 4.1 patch in this thread. I'm still working on patch 4.4.

As you can see, I have several different boot variations to debug it. RTC did get up fine here but kernel paniced at 4.14s.

I did boot kernel from u-boot prompt by "run 6 3".

Run 8 boots old kernel. Stage1 and u-boot are both 2013.10 and this device boots everything from sata. Nand is not used at all.

2013.10 stage1, 2013.10 u-boot + old kernel does it as expected.

Here is same kernel as above after power boot. As you can see, the RTC is not up now (1.047884s). Of cource booting hang up again with readonly root:

Hi tilator,

Let's keep the conversation in this thread. As I mentioned in the u-boot thread, it would be informative to see serial boot log for stock kernel to get some hints about which extra commands were executed during stock kernel startup.

And please use code tag.

Second boot just hang up.

Only difference is, first boot has booting with original kernel before this. Second has booting with 4.4.0 kernel (with hang and panic) before it.

Sorry I'm not sure I understood.

I'm interested in what make the boot that has no kernel panic successful running until 3.218618 seconds:

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 60500000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-4.4.0
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)

<snip>

[    3.218618] Freeing unused kernel memory: 196K (c06db000 - c070c000)

Was it a cold boot, or was it a reboot? If a reboot, was stock kernel running before it?

The 2nd case is the boot when kernel panic occured at 4.15 seconds:

Was it a cold boot? or reboot? if reboot, what was running before reboot?

I think I can see that this actually was not successful. Did it just hang here?

Actually you are right.

After cold boot it simply freezes here:

[    3.581611] EXT4-fs (sda1): couldn't mount as ext3 due to feature incompatibilities
[    3.607293] EXT4-fs (sda1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[    3.615034] VFS: Mounted root (ext4 filesystem) readonly on device 8:1.

[    3.631726] Freeing unused kernel memory: 196K (c06db000 - c070c000)

Rebooting from older kernel produces kernel panic.

B.T.W root partition is ext4, but is there some recognition problem since it says it's ext3? The trouble has to be there.

I did try GPT and MSDOS partition tables. Both freeze here with readonly root file system.

It does not look like they have 4.4 yet. Currently they are at 4.0.

No, I think it is not related. Usually if your rootfs fs has error, then it will become read-only. Try taking it to another box if possible and run e2fsck.

My guess is currently the kernel panic has hung the whole thing before it boots to initramfs prompt, so you can't fix the fs errors (if any) in a maintenance shell.

I'm hopeful that I will likely get this kernel panic figured out, and get 4.4 running.

How about this:

Damn! I guess I don't know how to navigate openWRT repo :) In any case, I've just got passed this kernel panic and getting back to a good baseline.

I still wonder what to do. I did already try to make partition table and everything twice. I even changed from GPT to MSDOS. Nothing changed.

And - it always boots with an older kernel. It's only this newer kernel having "readonly root" problem.

There is u-boot 2014.10 available with sata support with the Openwrt source. It makes u-boot, but does not make stage1 (spl). I did try it using 2013.10 stage1 and 2014.10 u-boot. Result is always the same. Readonly root device.

I'm at 2015.10 for u-boot:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,16017

But I don't think u-boot is related at all to your problem with RO rootfs. Most likely the rootfs fs was set to RO due to the kernel booting problem.

I'm making a clean build. If it boots successful, I'll let you know.

I agree. This has to be kernel problem. I have just been trying everything.

I'll wait what you find out. What device do you have to test it?

I'm also compiling kernel again with different settings. Partition or file system settings are what I expect to give solution here.

I suppose the problem might be this:

OX820 processor can only boot from sata if there are some special bytes in start of the disk.

The bytes are set using this script:

perl <<EOF | dd of="$disk" bs=512
    print "\x00" x 0x1a4;
    print "\x00\x5f\x01\x00";
    print "\x00\xdf\x00\x00";
    print "\x00\x80\x00\x00";
    print "\x00" x (0x1b0 -0x1a4 -12 );
    print "\x22\x80\x00\x00";
    print "\x22\x00\x00\x00";
    print "\x00\x80\x00\x00";
EOF

It might be this that prevents kernel booting properly.
