Booting stops every time with "Loading Kernel Image ..."

Maybe I should not boot from a 2.5" disk in the USM port?

EXT4-fs (sda1): mounting ext3 file system using the ext4 subsystem

This is normal. It just mean that the Ext4 driver is being used to run the Ext3 rootfs, which is the default for later kernels (Ext3 native driver has been phased out for quite a while in mainline).

But when we are testing with older u-boot, it is best to use Ext3.

-------

@Mark, you need to load uInitrd. Without it, you will see problem mounting rootfs, regardless with stock or my build.

------

I will upload kernel 4.14.24-cns3xxx-tld-1.1 for testing the fix for the panic, and switch to a different SATA config.

That's OK. The kernel has loaded and run so the disk can be used. You need to specify earlyprink=serial in bootargs to see more why it seems to hang.

At serial console, list the envs

printenv

and post output here in code tag.

@Mark,

Which BlackArmor box do you have, could you post the model number? I thought all Seagate BlackArmor have Marvel SoC, not Cavium SoC. Apparently you have one with Cavium!

I think with my Uboot version it is not possible to pass bootargs, I have to compile it into the kernel.

Maybe we have to change the dts file at this position:

	chosen {
		bootargs = "console=ttyS0,115200";
		stdout-path = &serial0;
	};

the serial connection is in my case 38400 and not 115200.
Maybe Marks BlackArmor box has 115200 and thats why he sees the kernel panic and I not?

edit: How can i compile the dts file?

blackdevil,

That's strange. Because this apparently modifiable.

The bootcmd:

bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_scsi

Try

setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root) earlyprintk=serial; run bootcmd_scsi'

No need to. That one in DTS is not used when you specified it in bootargs.

blackdevil,

Try using the addresses that we use for Kirkwood.

load_dtb_addr=0x1c00000
load_initrd_addr=0x1100000
load_uimage_addr=0x800000

If this does not work. I need to look more closely at the the envs above and the previous serial bootlog that you had for 3.18.5 (to see if this stock u-boot is picky about these load addresses).

blackdevil,

Your box's u-boot must be a different version from Mark's box. It looks like yours does not have FDT support.

So keep these addresses

load_initrd_addr=0x1100000
load_uimage_addr=0x800000

But you should append the DTB to zImage and make a new uImage in your rootfs. Use this Kirkwood example (assuming the rootfs was mounted at sdb1 on another Linux box):

Become root and append the cns3xx DTB to zImage:

su -
cd /media/sdb1/boot
mv uImage uImage.orig
cp -a zImage-4.15.2-kirkwood-tld-1  zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-4.15.2-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt  uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-4.15.2-kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-4.15.2-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd

And boot with

setenv bootcmd_scsi 'scsi init;run loaduimage;run loaduinitrd;bootm 0x800000 0x1100000'

UPDATE:

Nope, Mark's box u-boot does not have FDT support either :)

So basically we have to append DTB to uImage to boot properly (regardless whether there is uInitrd used in booting or not)

Ah, good to know! I'll give this a try in about an hour.

Yes, it's definitely Cavium. It was marketed as a Seagate Business Storage 4-Bay NAS, model # SRN04D.

Hmm. Nothing I do will get me a bootable kernel when I append the dtb to the zImage and create an uImage from it. It gets to "done booting the kernel" and stops there:

OK. So it is not a BlackArmor.

Please post the log of what you did to prepare the kernel files. uInitrd seems wrong.

I am pretty sure that is part of the problem, or perhaps the whole problem.

I am uploading a new kernel for testing. This time we will use a different booting method that hopefully will make it a lot easier.

Bodhi, can you share your steps to make your kernels, please?

I should also point out that somewhere recently your kernels went from being named cns3xxx to cns3xxxx. :)

All, here is the single kernel file that you can use to boot the box. I hope this stock u-boot does not have the memory limitation that old u-boots had.

Instead of repackaging the whole kernel tarball for each testing version, I thought it is simpler to do this until the test kernel has booted OK (or we want to take a pause and let everybody build their own kernel, if wishes to do so) then I'll upload the kernel package for that version. It will be just like the package for 1st version, which contains everything you'd need to build your own kernel.

This tarball contain the uImage file

uImage.4.14.24-cns3xxxx-tld-1.1

How to run this kernel

1. Download the uImage tarball and extract it to the /boot folder on the rootfs Debian-4.14.24-cns3xxxx-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2. Assuming the rootfs is mounted at /media/sdb1

cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a uImage.4.14.24-cns3xxxx-tld-1.1 uImage
sync

2. Booting.

Attach the rootfs to your box, Power up and interrupt serial console.

Assuming your envs are like what blackdevil posted above:

I got the exact same results as blackdevil. :-/

All, here is the kernel files that you can use to boot the box.This stock u-boot does have the memory limitation that old u-boots had. So I had to scrap the idea booting with 1 image (as previously posted).

Instead of repackaging the whole kernel tarball for each testing version, I thought it is simpler to do this until the test kernel has booted OK (or we want to take a pause and let everybody build their own kernel, if wishes to do so) then I'll upload the kernel package for that version.

Maybe we should try to get kernel 4.4 working? Or a current kernel without DTB and than "just" add the DTB stuff?

blackdevil,

Try booting with only the uImage

setenv bootcmd_scsi 'scsi init; ext2load scsi 1 0x8000000 /uImage; bootm 0x8000000'

See how far you got with it. You should get to the same point as Mark did, or further.

Maybe we should change the load address from 00008000 to

Load Address: 02000000
   Entry Point:  02000000

This address is apparently hardcoded in stock u-boot. Try

setenv bootcmd_scsi 'scsi init; ext2load scsi 0 0x02000000 /boot/uImage; bootm 0x02000000'
