Pogoplug E02 kernel 4.8.3 stuck at "Starting kernel ..."
October 26, 2016 02:06AM
I decided to upgrade to the new kernel and followed the 4a way since I have the current uboot installed. All seemed to go fine with no error messages so I did the 3 sync's and the shutdown. The device never fully powered off and it hangs at starting kernel. Here are the outputs.

I took the usb to my laptop and ran fsck on it and it is clean. Not sure how else to proceed. I would appreciate it if you could help me again.

feas,

Even though you said you've used method 4a, let's check the kernel files on /boot. Assuming you mount it at /media/sdb1 on your laptop.

Pls post the output of: 
ls -lart /media/sdb1/boot

1. See if the uImage is indeed the one generated by mkimage, or if by accident it was one with embedded DTB?
2. Does this USB drive have more than one partition?

feas,

Your kernel files looks fine, as comparing with ones on my Pogo E02! I have a feeling that it might be something to do with bootargs. But they look OK, too.

However, this indicates there is something in the uEnv.txt: 
loading envs from usb 0 ...
87 bytes read in 366 ms (0 Bytes/s)

See what's in this file, could be that it has redefined some envs that caused this freeze? 
cat /media/sdb1/boot/uEnv.txt

feas,

That's not the cause.

- Remove this uEnvt.txt file
- Power up, interrupt serial console
- And then 
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; printenv; printenv bootargs; run bootcmd_exec'
boot

Please post the entire serial console log.

Looks like everything is in good order. Let's try this

- Power up, interrupt serial console
- And then 

setenv custom_params 'earlyprintk=serial'
setenv bootcmd 'run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; printenv; printenv bootargs; run bootcmd_exec'
boot

Please post the entire serial console log.

Hi feas,

That's correct, my typo for custom_params up there. However, earlyprink did not help to print out anything.

Here is what I think. Your kernel files, especially uImage, are not good for whatever reason, because if it did not even start at all. So my suggestion is: boot back to kernel 4.8.0. And then while in 4.8.0, remove kernel 4.8.3 with "dpkg --purge", and reinstall kernel 4.8.3.

I am not sure how to boot back to my previous 4.4.0 kernel from here. I am I to load the old images with tftp as I believe I had to do in the past?

Your kernel 4.4 is till installed. I noticed you have saved uImage and uInitrd in /boot. Are the uImage/uInitrd-10-26-16 from kernel 4.4?

If they are, then copy them to uImage and uInitrd. Sync and reboot.

Btw, when you save these files, use the "cp -a" command to copy so they have the original timestamp. It easier to recognize if they are grouped together with other kernel files when you list by date.

cp -a uImage uImage-4.4

Also, if they are not 4.4, then you can use the mkimage commands for 4.4 to regenerate them.

They are indeed 4.4. I see what you are saying about copying with attributes intact. Guess it's just the way my defective noggin works so I know what was what before i mess with stuff.

I did as you said and it works as would be expected. Sorry for the hassle not sure what went wrong the first time.

if interested here is output now.

Re: Pogoplug E02 kernel 4.8.3 stuck at "Starting kernel ..."
November 27, 2016 12:12AM
Hi bodhi, I got the similar problem, unlike feas's story, I cannot boot with any kernels after upgrading to the latest uboot. Can you help me take a look? Thanks in advance!

Long story in short: I was running Jeff's build for years till I decided to upgrade my pogoplug_e02 to the latest version. So, I took the following steps: upgraded to 4.4.0 by following "Updated 20 Feb 2016" --worked; upgraded to latest uboot by following "Last Updated 19 June 2016" --everything looks fine, no errors reported; upgraded to 4.8.3 by following "Updated 24 Oct 2016" -- failed to reboot...

After that, no matter which version of Kernel I tried, no success to boot any more...Here are some outputs from the netconsole:

xddy,

> Starting kernel ...

netconsole only outputs this much. So what happen after this is not known unless you've aleady done this set up to see the kernel booting progress: Use netconsole to troubleshoot Debian kernel booting

Try these
1. Check the USB drive for errors using another LInux box and fix it. If the drive is assigned the drive letter sdb1: 
e2fsck /dev/sdb1

2. Whether errors were found and fixed or not, mount the drive and 
ls -lart /media/sdb1/boot
sync
And take it to the Pogo to try booting again. And please post the output from the above here anyway.

The idea is to 1. check for errors, 2. see if the uImage has has an embedded DTB in there that you've insertedby mistake.

Thank you for the quick response!
Actually, I did not do the steps in "http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,9522";, can I do it now on my ubuntu?

By following you instruction:

the e2fsck did not report any error,

the the ls outputs are:

It looks the same as the previous one.

xddy,

As I mentioned, netconsole output stops here. So it might have booted. Did you try:

1. Ping the box. If it is online, it will responds: 
ping debian.local

or

2. Find the box IP address in the network router.

Hi bodhi, no it doesn't. The box stuck somewhere and cannot get ip, front led stays green, however the ethernet blinks orange. Thanks.

BTW, is my understanding correct? It looks like my Uboot works fine, so for kernel 4.4.0 with latest uboot, basically I should do the following: 

On my ubuntu desktop---
1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs.
2. As root user (sudo su), tar -xjf Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2, Adjust fstab. ext2 -> ext3, sync
3. Plug the USB drive to the Pogoplug, then boot

xddy ,

Regarding the Debian netconsole setup: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,9522. Not really, you can't simply regenerate the initrd on Ubuntu at terminal (different architecture), you would have to qemu/chroot to generate it correctly.

> The box stuck somewhere

This means the kernel has started successfully but could not mount the rootfs for whatever reason. netconsole will not output any thing during this time so we are blind :)

The steps look right. Usually I would always run whoami to verify that I am root before starting extracting the tarball.

Everything has checked out, and you still can't boot. If you like, post the entire terminal log while you are creating rootfs, so perhaps I can see something missing?

But verify the extreme case first: what type of USB flash drive is this? can you use a different one such as a Sandisk brand? some flash drives are really bad for booting (I had run into some generic or bad brands that it failed to boot consistently).

Hi bodhi, it's booted now after I switched to an oooooooold usb drive (I was using a sandisk cruzer blade on my pogoplug), phew~~~

I did have the idea to try another drive but would take it as the last way coz I've been using the sandisk cruzer blade on both E02 and dockstar for years with no issues.

Anyway, it's working now. Thank you sooooooo much for your help!!!!
