4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1 on Buffalo LS-XHL

Hi,

I'm trying to use 4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1 on my Buffalo LS-XHL. The Kernel boots perfectly but I don't have any network connection.
From dmesg I can see:

...
[    6.891645] libphy: orion_mdio_bus: probed
[    6.896060] orion-mdio f1072004.mdio-bus: Cannot register MDIO bus (-19)

[    6.911011] ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller (EHCI) Driver
...

No eth0 or eth1 created while it is properly with my old kernel (3.14.4-fjen-1)

...

[    0.407537] ehci_hcd: USB 2.0 'Enhanced' Host Controller (EHCI) Driver
...

Is this something anyone already faced ?

Ben,

There is not enough info for me to tell the reason.

1. You are running with stock u-boot? what are the u-boot envs? If you have serial console, then power up and interrupt serial console, and list the envs, and let it boot all the way into Debian.

printenv

and then

boot

2. Which DTB file are you using to boot with?

----
If you have serial console then please post the entire serial console from power up until after logging into Debian.

If you don't have serial console then please post these info after logging into Debian.

dmesg
cat /etc/fw_env.config
fw_printenv

Hi bodhi,

I tried to boot with stock u-boot and with 2013.01.01 (from https://github.com/mwalle/u-boot/issues/1 ). In both cases I have the same result.
I don't have a console so here's everything from Debian:

> cat /etc/fw_env.config

Regarding the DTD, I used DTD: dts/kirkwood-lsxhl.dtb to build my uImage a follow

cat zImage-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1 dts/kirkwood-lsxhl.dtb > zImage_w_dtb
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n 'Linux-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1' -d zImage_w_dtb uImage.buffalo

Thanks for your help :)

benoqkuke,


This address needs to be adjusted to boot the 4.14.1 Debian rootfs

ramdisk_addr=0x01000000

Most likely, the ramdisk address should be:

0x02100000

Since you are booting with stock u-boot, and don't have serial console, it is dangerous to modify u-boot envs. A wrong setting could make your box semi-bricked until you connect serial console and recover. I cannot guarantee that the new address will work.

So I don't recommend changing this u-boot env in Debian. You should connect serial console and set it temporarily in serial console prompt, to try booting with it.

Hi bodhi,

Thanks for your quick answer.
As long as u-boot can start, I can set the NAS in rescue mode (pressing a button at boot time) and acces u-boot with a netconsole. So I could try to update the parameter. But where exactly is this value coming from ?

Then you shoud enter this env in netconsole. That way it is only temporary for this boot. After you reset or recycle power, the new value will be gone, and it will be back to the way it was. You should test the change this way.

Interrupt netconsole countdown and

setenv ramdisk_addr 0x01000000

and then

boot

Stock u-boot does not relocate the kernel files (uImage and uInitrd) to different memory regions. What we set in u-boot evs are what it uses. The old address is not far enough for uInitrd to load properly, and it was corrupted when the kernel unpack it:

[    0.139157] Unpacking initramfs...
[    0.139173] Initramfs unpacking failed: junk in compressed archive

Please post the log of this attempt.

Hi bodhi,

I did several tests:
* Provided initrd (note that I extract all the libs in the initrd - /lib/modules - and placed them on my /dev/sda2) with current config => no boot
* Provided initrd with ramdisk_addr= 0x02100000 => no boot
* Empty initrd (from http://tyche.pu-toyama.ac.jp/~a-urasim/lsxhl/data/initrd.buffalo) with current config => boot but no ethernet
* Empty initrd (from http://tyche.pu-toyama.ac.jp/~a-urasim/lsxhl/data/initrd.buffalo) with ramdisk_addr= 0x02100000 => boot but no ethernet

I took an empty disk and tried the netconsole install of Debian Stretch as per procedure (https://miniconf.debian.or.jp/assets/files/Debian%20Installer%20for%20Buffalo%20Linkstation%20NAS.pdf) => no ethernet as well...

I guess it's probably due to my u-boot. I'll try to check with u-boot guys what can be done.

It is likely not a uboot problem. You should be able to boot with the basic roofs Debian-4.14.1-tld-1 without modifying anything on it.

The uInitrd load address is the only problem.

Ben,

I'd suggest you connect serial console to make it easier to find the correct load address of uInitrd.
