4.14.1 kernel kernel panic
December 29, 2017 11:39AM
this is not a big deal.
so i have a pogoplug v4 and i have the newest uboot and env on it.
i'm running rootfs 4.12.1 but a tried 4.14.1 kernel and it will not boot. i get a kernel panic.
i guess need to hook up serial to it for dmesg.

-----
Mod edit: please post problem in separate thread.

Gave up waiting for root file system device.  Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT!  LABEL=rootfs does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!

Jeffrccar,

Your rootfs has problem. When you installed kernel 4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1, you did not regenerate the uInitrd.

Mount the SD card rootfs on another Linux and examine your /boot. Assuming it was mounted at /media/sdb1,

Please post the output of
ls -lart /media/sdb1/boot

sorry, i'm not really sure how to regenerate the uInitrd i tried:
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd
but i need initrd.img-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1.

/boot:

but i need initrd.img-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1.

That means you did not install kernel 4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1 correctly. This is how we would upgrade to kernel 4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1.


1. Start with the rootfs Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2. Create a bootable system.

2. Boot in into this rootfs and then install new kernel. The instruction quote below is for 4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1, so replace it with 4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1. And use step 4a to boot with new u-boot (yours is new). Also the DTB should be for your box Pogoplug_V4.

Quote

Installation:


1. Backup your current uImage and uInitrd. In the /boot directory, these are files for your current kernel (xx.xx.xx is the version number):
uInitrd
uImage
initrd.img-xx.xx.xx-kirkwood-xxx
System.map-xx.xx.xx-kirkwood-xxx
vmlinuz-xx.xx.xx-kirkwood-xxx
config-xx.xx.xx-kirkwood-xxx
dts/

2. Extract the kernel and the DTB files in the archive:

cd /boot
tar -xjf linux-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2
tar -xf linux-dtb-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1.tar

3. And install it with dpkg. Remove flash-kernel first to avoid potential problem (It is much better to generate uImage and uInitrd manually anyway):

cd /boot
apt-get remove flash-kernel
dpkg -i linux-image-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb

4. Create uImage and uInitrd and setup for booting.

I'm using the GoFlex Net booting with USB drive as an example here. Please replace its name (kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb) with the box you are installing on (for example, kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb). Please look inside /boot/dts/ for the correct DTB file name for your box.

Below are the 2 different alternatives in booting (method 4b is required for booting with older U-Boot that does not support FDT).

- Choose option 4a if you are going to use the current rootfs for many different Kirkwood boxes, as is. It should boot most of the Kirkwood boxes. And with the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood that suports FDT. This is the preferred method.

- Choose option 4b if you only use the current rootfs for the box you're installing on, and don't want to modify u-boot envs. This method is required for booting with older U-Boot that does not support FDT. Note that if you are installing from stock OS, u-boot envs must be modified to boot with USB or HDD (please post questions, since each box has a different flavor in setting up the envs).

4a. Boot with DTB file (standard way to boot FDT kernel). Recommended.


- Generate the uImage and uInitrd.
cd /boot
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d vmlinuz-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1 uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd

- Set U-Boot envs for booting. The u-boot envs below are for 1st time upgrading, you don't need to do this step if you've installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood. Just make sure the DTB file is the correct one for your box, replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box.

fw_setenv load_dtb 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x1c00000 /boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb'
fw_setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd'
fw_setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
fw_setenv usb_boot 'run load_dtb; run load_uimage; if run load_initrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000 0x1c00000; else bootm 0x800000 - 0x1c00000; fi'

4b. Boot with DTB file embedded in the kernel image (no U-Boot envs changes are needed if your system already booting on USB or HDD)

Again, please replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box.

Generate the uImage and uInitrd:
cd /boot
mv uImage uImage.orig
cp -a zImage-4.8.0-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-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-4.8.0-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd

5. The new uImage and uInitrd files should be created in /boot directory now. You're ready to reboot the system:
sync
sync
sync
shutdown -r now

Thanks, It works!! i like how the dts isn't embedded so, i can switch hardware without a problem.

cd /boot 
apt-get remove flash-kernel 
dpkg -i linux-image-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1_1.0_armel.deb
apparently, i missed this step.
