wireless initramfs problem after upgrade to stretch from jessie
December 05, 2017 02:34AM
I have a dockstar booting from a USB card reader & 2 GB CF card.

Netconsole shows uboot version as follows.

U-Boot 2011.12 (Feb 12 2012 - 21:33:07)
Seagate FreeAgent DockStar
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-67) 4.4.1
GNU ld (Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q3-67) 2.19.51.20090709


I was holding out for long time to upgrade from jesie to stretch. I finally gave in. Everything went smooth except following.

My wireless card stopped working. dmesg says

rt2800usb 1-1.4.3.3:1.0: firmware: agent aborted loading rt2870.bin (not found?)

It is supposed to be in firmware-misc-nonfree package according to Debian Wiki

This package is installed but I tried to reinstall it.Then I get the following hook message.

Preparing to unpack .../firmware-misc-nonfree_20161130-3_all.deb ...
Unpacking firmware-misc-nonfree (20161130-3) over (20161130-3) ...

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-kirkwood
Warning: couldn't identify filesystem type for fsck hook, ignoring.
I: The initramfs will attempt to resume from /dev/sda2

My fstab entry is as follows.
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/root       /               ext4    noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

So edited /etc/fstab.

I then tried uuid and fstype as (ext4 and also as auto)

I get

update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.130) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-kirkwood
Warning: couldn't identify filesystem type for fsck hook, ignoring.
Press Return to continue, 'q' followed by Return to quit.


How do I fix the hook and the wireless card issue?

metric,

Which kernel are you running? Please post output of

dmesg
cat /etc/apt/sources.list

Hi Bodhi,

The setup was working fine with Jessie. There is no change in the hardware.

It is a stock kernel that came with the upgrade.
Linux dstar 3.2.0-4-kirkwood #1 Debian 3.2.68-1+deb7u2 armv5tel

I see. What is your fstab looks like now? does it have

LABEL=rootfs       /               ext4    noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

No it looks as follows.

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
/dev/root       /               ext4    noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

I changed to LABEL=rootfs / and it became read only. I will fix it in another linux box but that is not working. I even tried putting UUID. The system boots fine but still gives me the original problem.
Re: wireless initramfs problem after upgrade to stretch from jessie

metric,

You are not running my latest u-boot:
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

or my latest kernel :
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

So it is a little bit harder for me to help you! But it is OK (I don't mind which software you run :).


The problem is simple to solve. You just need to run the latest initramfs so that the fsck hook is correct.

1. Make sure you have this in fstab

LABEL=rootfs       /               ext4    noatime,nodiratime,errors=remount-ro 0 1

2. Regenerate initramfs

update-initramfs -u


3. Regenerate uInitrd

cd /boot
cp -a uInitrd uInitrd.bak
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-3.2.0-4-kirkwood -d initrd.img-3.2.0-4-kirkwood uInitrd

4. Reboot

5. After you've logged in to Debian, upgrade to pick up the latest Debian pkgs:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade

Re: wireless initramfs problem after upgrade to stretch from jessie

Thanks Bodhi,

Just because you complained... :-), I upgraded the U-Boot. For some reason the boot partition did not have rootfs label. I added that too. I know this is a hacked device to begin with, but I like to keep the kernel in sync with the distribution so that I can update with apt-get. I prefer not to use your kernel for that reason alone. But that is not working either. . I have installed 4.9 but it boots in to 3.2 Do I manually do the same mkimage again? Where is it broken?

linux-image-kirkwood/stable,now 4.9+80+deb9u2 armel [installed]
linux-image-marvell/stable,now 4.9+80+deb9u2 armel [installed,automatic]


I checked the partition with gparted. It is clean. I also checked the file system. It is also clean. I am not sure about the errors shown by netconsole . I think the unknown partition message is coming from USB multi-card reader. There is one CF card that boots. Other slots are empty.

The system does boot fine. But with the new boot environment, I have lost the ability to boot in to my old rescue partition. How do I add that back? Here is the netconsole output. The env text file is new to me. Do I add my old saved environment commands in /boot/uEnv.txt ?

There are a few things need to be corrected here.

Whenever you install new kernel, you need to redo mkimage. It is using the old uImage and uInitrd for 3.2.

Those partition errors are OK. New u-boot mainline code just blindly scans everything.

The rescue envs need to be restored using this saved copy of current_envs.txt you did in Step 3:

Quote

3. Be sure to save your current uBoot image in mtd0, or have a backup image saved somewhere as precaution. And save your current u-boot envs with fw_printenv, or just copy/paste the listing into a text file. Note the nanddump command below allows future restoration to the same box you're backing up, and also can be used to restore a differrent box's mtd0 if needed.

Dumping NAND mtd0:
nanddump --noecc --omitoob -l 0x80000 -f mtd0 /dev/mtd0
Save envs:
fw_printenv > current_envs.txt
or
blparam > current_envs.txt

> Do I add my old saved environment
> commands in /boot/uEnv.txt ?
>

First , use thei uEnv.txt to add the rescue envs back (easy to find them in current_envs.txt, they all have the words "rescue" in their names) . After you have tested it in netconsole, then do them permanently with fw_setenv in Debian.

This error is OK when you boot the main line kernel.

In the new Linux versions, the FW bin files are no longer shipped with kernel source. We have to add it manually. I believe Debian takes care of this. So if you have installed the correct firmawre packages, and then upgrade to the latest Debian distribution (i.e. 9.2), you should get it. Try that and see if you get the rt2870.bin back. If not, just copy them from your backup rootfs (if you have it?).

Please let me know about this rt2870.bin issue, if you can or cannot resolve it and how.

The package is installed. I reinstalled it just in case. Did dpkg -a too. The file does exist on the drive, I confirmed it with mlocate. That is why I am confused. Why it says that the file cannot be found.

Are you running systemd or sysvinit? please post the entire dmesg output.

@bodhi I am running systemd. BTW I have taken too much of your time trying to recover. So here is a new plan ;-)

I had backed up the entire boot drive with Jessie on a desktop, so I re-imaged it back and will start upgrade from my Jessie version again. Any pointers to do it properly? Here is what I followed last time.

https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/release-notes/ch-upgrading.html

So, first I need to bring back my rescue image. I am little confused. Do I just copy the rescue section to the text file or all of my new boot environment from your post and add pertinent rescue following rescue commands?


rescue_set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=$console ubi.mtd=2 root=ubi0:rootfs ro rootfstype=ubifs $mtdparts $rescue_custom_params
rescue_bootcmd=if test $rescue_installed -eq 1; then run rescue_set_bootargs; nand read.e 0x800000 0x100000 0x400000; bootm 0x800000; else run pogo_bootcmd; fi
pogo_bootcmd=if fsload uboot-original-mtd0.kwb; then go 0x800200; fi
force_rescue=0
force_rescue_bootcmd=if test $force_rescue -eq 1 || ext2load usb 0:1 0x1700000 /rescueme 1 || fatload usb 0:1 0x1700000 /rescueme.txt 1; then run rescue_bootcmd; fi
ubifs_mtd=3

See the Wiki thread which contains this specific post:

- Best to go slow. First, test these recue envs using netconsole without saving them. And after it worked save them permanently.

- Boot with without USB drive, Interupt netconsole, and enter rescue envs one by one using setenv

setenv rescue_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=$console ubi.mtd=2 root=ubi0:rootfs ro rootfstype=ubifs $mtdparts $rescue_custom_params'
setenv rescue_bootcmd 'if test $rescue_installed -eq 1; then run rescue_set_bootargs; nand read.e 0x800000 0x100000 0x400000; bootm 0x800000; else run pogo_bootcmd; fi'
setenv pogo_bootcmd 'if fsload uboot-original-mtd0.kwb; then go 0x800200; fi'
setenv force_rescue '0'
setenv force_rescue_bootcmd 'if test $force_rescue -eq 1 || ext2load usb 0:1 0x1700000 /rescueme 1 || fatload usb 0:1 0x1700000 /rescueme.txt 1; then run rescue_bootcmd; fi
ubifs_mtd=3'

and then

boot

After verifying it works a few times, you can save them in netconsole.

@bodhi

I followed your instruction, it still fails to boot from rescue. As I have a bootable system image and new uboot, I do not mind trying new rescue. Do you have any recommendations? The LEDE version looks good.

metric,

Power up, interrupt serial console and enter the rescue envs, and then

printenv
boot

Post the entire serial console log here.
