Does Kernel 3.17 (FDT) and 3.16 (non-FDT) package support MMC?

thrown solid days into this; thought it's worth asking.

My Pogo Plug Mobile (single USB) came with a third party image which successfully replaced through uart and tftp, etc to have:

- the latest UBoot and env.
- Debian-3.17.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 boots off of the USB drive just fine

Debian 3.17 won't boot with the same image in the MMC drive. I get a ramfs saying it can't mount root/ find the rootfs (LABEL route) or /dec/mmc.... the trouble is it doesn't seem to be mounted at all even though mmc is initialized (twice) and the kernel is being read from it. (looking at /dev/ and no mension of mmc or kwsdio 0)

If I put a copy of ALARM on the same MMC drive, it boots fine and no panic there (except that eth0 is down. I hop on one leg when it comes to debian let alone figuring my way through Arch and systemd.

So to summarize, the same uBoot + env settings boots all USB and only Arch MMC but not Debian 3.17 MMC.

Suggestions are very welcome.

It you have boot log when it failed, please post here. Also listing of u-boot envs. If you can't, then boot into Arch and get output of:

fw_printenv

Also, in serial console if you have it:

Thanks. Here's the boot log with only sd card present:

I unpacked the Debian 3.16 image and it worked just fine with the same uBoot and env. For my purposes the older package is fine, though it'd be nice to know what I was doing wrong.

Probably a wrong step taken somewhere during 3.17 rootfs creation.

With only SD card (with 3.17 kernel) plugged in, power up, interrupt console at count down, excute commands:

printenv
mmc rescan
mmc part

Pls post the ouput here!

Thanks Bodhi,

I used a 3.16 image and I'm up and running. For what I wanted to do (replace my broken airport express airplay) 3.16 is doing just fine. There seemed to be something funny with gethostname() in the dhcp client config and once I hardcoded to the name, it's been great.

I'll post the outputs you asked once I get to hacking up the second pogoplug.

Thanks,
