Request: rootfs for Goflex Net very old uBoot

Hi there,

does anybody have an idea how I can sort this out?
I have an old Goflex Net with uBoot version 2011.12 (Apr 18 2012 ...)
With no rescue system installed an I really can't manage to make this thing boot anything.

Could someone point me in the right direction?
In uboot console I can't even ext2ls my usb drive. If tried formatting partition 1 in ext2 and ext3. It always tells me block device 0:0 0 not supported.
I've also tried it with a sata drive, no difference there.

thank you in advance

That u-boot is old but not that old.

Interrupt serial/net console and get the listing of

version
help
printenv

As I said... this thing is reeeeeeeally old. I can't even remember when I got it.

I have a newer one that is currently running a relatively recent 3.3.2 Kernel based rootfs. But that one I bought in 2015 I guess.

It is not that old. The installed u-boot should be working perfectly. All your logs showed a good setup and there is notthing wrong.

So my conclusion: your USB drive is no good. Try using a different one, such as a Sandisk brand USB flash drive. Format a single partition type Ext3. Untar the Debian 4.4 rootfs according to the instruction in:

http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Then power up, interrupt u-boot console at countdown, and

usb start

See if it is recognized.

Hi,

I attached a screenshot of what it acually says when I try to boot from usb.
It is able to load uinitrd but something is wrong with it.
I have also tried different versions.

Please post all the log files you have in text format, not screenshot. I need to to be able search the text.

*edit*
yaaaay I fixed it.
Seems like my bootargs were the problem. also my "usb_boot" env was broken. I had to add run usb_load_uimage then it worked :)

Cool! now you should install new u-boot and new default envs.
