Boot problem with Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi on Dockstar February 03, 2018 07:05AM |
Registered: 6 years ago Posts: 21 |
Hello,
I am trying to boot Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi on my Dockstar without success.
I did extract Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 to a blank usb drive formatted as ext3 with 1 partition.
I have generated the uImage with DTB for the Dockstar embedded inside. The kernel starts booting and then the dockstar stucks. The LED lights solid amber.
Environment vars:
Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi is working fine. I have generated the uImage with DTB for the Dockstar embedded inside. Kernel gets loaded and the LED lights green.
I also can ssh to the dockstar.
Strange, why does Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 work and Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1 not?

Tom,
Your current u-boot is quite old and the envs are different from the new u-boot.
Try this with both rootfs:
1. Make sure that the /etc/fstab has this line for rootfs:
2. Power up, interrupt netconsole and,

1. fstab is correct
2. bootargs are set but still kernel will not boot.
Additional question: I am trying to setup netconsole to troubleshoot Debian kernel booting like mentioned in this thread[How To] Use netconsole to troubleshoot Debian kernel booting
My problem now is I can't generate new initramfs image for the dockstar written to the usb stick. The command wants to update the initramfs of the actual running kernel of my VM.
I can't do it on the dockstar because it did not boot properly as you know.

I have modified my working Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 installation with the netconsole options to see the kernel messages.
Note: I have an usb smartcardreader attached to the dockstar.
I thought maybe the reader has a problem with the Debian-4.12.1 rootfs/kernel.
So I unplugged the reader from the dockstar.
But also without the reader the kernel did not boot!

That's weird...
Now I used another USB thumb drive.
I have checked the file system and it is clean.
What's going on here? I don't get it. Even with ext2 or ext3 formatted fs. I also have modified fstab to ext2or3 properly.
I don't think I have a bad USB thumb drive because I used different ones. They can't be all broken...
Partitioning, formatting and copying the data did not show any error or data corruption.
Still very strange issues after all...

It's not that strange. Your installed Marvell u-boot is very old, and the usb driver had problems. Perhaps it is the drive.
In the old days (5,6 years ago), we just tried different USB thumb drive until we found one that worked. Sandisk is my favorite brand, it is quite resilient and never fail to boot. If you have Sandisk brand, try that.

It's not that strange. Your installed Marvell u-boot is very old, and the usb driver had problems. Perhaps it is the drive.
In the old days (5,6 years ago), we just tried different USB thumb drive until we found one that worked. Sandisk is my favorite brand, it is quite resilient and never fail to boot. If you have Sandisk brand, try that.

Ok. The usb thumb drive I used for the testing above is an older Corsair Voyager GT 16GB in exchange of the sandisk cruzer fit below.
My old Debian Squeeze on DockStar is installed on an 4GB Philips thumb drive and it worked well all the years without any major issues.
For the main test/upgrade attempt of my old system I am using 2 new sandisk cruzer fit thumb drives with 16GB of RAM.

Bodhi,
is it possible that you built me a new rootfs (4.12.1 or maybe later) with the DTB embedded for my dockstar and netconsole enabled (for debugging)?
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules setup to:
This would help me a lot to do further investigations.
Too bad that I can't built it on my own because my system is not working... :(
Thank you in advance.

No need to, because:
1. You can boot with Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1 rootfs, so you can run that, chroot into the 4.12.1 and create the new initramfs (search for chroot instruction, quite easy to do).
2. Netconsole setup in Debian will not help in trouble shooting this problem. You need serial console.

Could this be an issue?
With start of using kernel Linux-4.11.3-kirkwood-tld-1
the dockstar gets stuck and the kernel is not working.
Kernel Linux-4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1 is the last one which works without problems.

Tom,
There were no change regarding MTD from kernel Linux-4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1 to kernel Linux-4.11.3-kirkwood-tld-1. So that error does not ring any bell for me.
I would suggest that:
- Use the rootfs that you can boot (e.g. 4.4. or whatever).
- Clone it to another USB drive.
- And upgrade the kernel on the clone USB drive to the latest kernel (linux-4.14.1-kirkwood-tld-1).
- If this cloned drive works, then start using it as your rootfs.
This way you won't chase a seemingly mysterious problem. Again, if you install serial console, whatever the issue is, it can be solved in a few minutes.

Hello bodhi,
I have now a working system with Debian 9 and the 4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1 kernel.
What about flashing the new u-boot?
Do I have to look for something special?
These are my bad blocks in mtd0:
Is this ok? Can I safely flash the new u-boot?
1. My uBoot envs config is defined as
2. My partitions look like
4. save my current envs, save ethaddr, and save NAND mtd0: with nanddump
5. Erase mtd0
6.Write image to NAND
Should I flash the default u-boot envs image ?
1. flash erease
2. flash u-boot envs image
fw_setenv:
for Dockstar:
set mtdparts and ethaddr
(I need to enter the backticks? I mean the ' -> is this correct?)
->xx my real ethaddr here
What about the DTB file?
Right now it is embedded in my 4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1 kernel because of the old u-boot.
So I leave the fw_setenv dtb_file empty right?
Does it make sense to put this in /boot/uEnv.txt :
*with my old embedded kernel I leave the line like dtb_file =
otherwise with a new kernel with the path and filename
Have I missed something important or do I need some other additional env-vars?
It would be nice if you could have a look over my entry and give me a feedback.
Thank you in advance.

No. You should restore the original uImage. Rembember when you create the rootfs, you have saved the original uImage:

No need to use uEnv.txt. Just set the env to boot with separate DTB
Ok. Be very careful, because the Dockstar does not have UART booting capability. And you don't have serial console either. A tiny mistate could make the box semi-bricked and you will need to connect serial console to recover.
If the u-boot image flashing failed, you will need to stop and post the log here.
If you'd like, do you procedure as you laid out above, but don't reboot. Post the entire log of the terminal session here and I will double check for you before you reboot.

No. You should restore the original uImage. Rembember when you create the rootfs, you have saved the original uImage:

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-4.15.2-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb >> zImage.fdt

Ok. Be very careful, because the Dockstar does not have UART booting capability. And you don't have serial console either. A tiny mistate could make the box semi-bricked and you will need to connect serial console to recover.

And thanks that you will have a look at the procedure and will double check it for me.
But I think I will use the 4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1 kernel because I know it is working with my dockstar at the moment.
Right now I don't have a serial console for further debugging. I will install it later when I have more free time.
I don't get it right now maybe it's too late here :)
My plan was to create a new image like in your "manual" 4a and use this as suggested.
Did you mean I should use the kernel the same way (embedded) as before like 4b and boot the kernel as I did it before?

No. You should restore the original uImage. Rembember when you create the rootfs, you have saved the original uImage:

Tom,

This was needed if you use your current rootfs. Your current rootfs has the DTB embedded inside uImage.

Yes. With the new u-boot installed, the new rootfs can be used without changing anything. So you would skip step 4 below.

Updated 24 Jul 2017:
Basic Debian stretch Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs:
- tarball size: 188M
- install size: 488M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see note 2 below.
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, dialog, bzip2, nfs server/client, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, and sysvinit-utils.
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/init.d/halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root
Download at Dropbox:
Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
md5:
bf3d29569943875df348fb5ca03b348c
sha256:
4ed5714fdb123cdb40e973f3d0754e91cd199b75a9874018f2b5dc9cfa8ae8bb
And remember to check the hash of what you download, as always.
Installation:
Installation can be done on any Linux box, with a fresh USB drive (SD card or HDD would work fine too).
Note: all steps below must be done while logging in as root user (not sudo). If you are not the root user then don't continue, because the rootfs will not work.
1. Format a new USB drive with a single Ext3 partition, and label it rootfs. If you are running the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood then you can use Ext4.
2. Mount the drive on a Linux box. cd to top level directory and extract it. It is assuming the USB drive is mounted at /media/sdb1
cd /media/sdb1
tar -xjf Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
3. Adjust fstab (optional).
Edit /media/sdb1/etc/fstab entry for root device to match the rootfstype of your rootfstype if you use Ext4 or Ext2. However, you can keep it as is without problem in booting since the kernel will figure out which file system the rootfs was formatted.
LABEL=rootfs / ext3 noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
4. Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier). Skip this step if you have installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood (or are installing this u-boot at the same time).
Please replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box (see the folder /media/sdb1/boot/dts for the exact spelling of your Kirkwood box name).
Generate the uImage with DTB embedded inside:
cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync
If your Linux box does not have mkimage, then install it
apt-get install u-boot-tools
5. Done. Take this USB rootfs to your plug and cold start. After booted into Debian, see Note1 and Note2 below. It is very important that you do Note1 steps to secure your box.
Note1:
After logging in this rootf the first time, remember to generate new SSH key to make it your own unique rootfs. And also update your rootfs to get the latest Debian package security updates:
rm /etc/ssh/ssh_host*
ssh-keygen -A
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
Warning: Watch the apt-get upgrade progress. If the apt-get upgrade results in a new initramfs, the log would shows this message:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1
Then you need to regenerate the uInitrd boot file:
cd /boot
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd
Note2:
To boot with systemd, add parameter init=/bin/systemd to your u-boot env bootargs.
- For example,
fw_setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts init=/bin/systemd'
- Or, if you are booting with my latest u-boot images you can also use the uEnv.txt capability to do this. In the default envs, custom_params is a variable that allows you to add extra bootargs. So add the following line to uEnv.txt:
custom_params=init=/bin/systemd
If that's still not possible to run systemd, you might want to install it again:
apt-get install systemd

Hello bodhi,
Here is my session/log for flashing u-boot:
Can you please have a look if I can do a reboot or maybe I need to adjust something more?
root@debian9:~# cat /etc/fw_env.config
root@debian9:~# cat /proc/mtd
root@debian9:~# fw_printenv ethaddr
root@debian9:~# nanddump --noecc --omitoob -l 0x80000 -f mtd0 /dev/mtd0
root@debian9:~# fw_printenv > current_envs.txt
root@debian9:~# dmesg | grep -i 'bad'
root@debian9:~# cd /tmp
root@debian9:/tmp# tar -xf uboot.2016.05-tld-1.dockstar.bodhi.tar
root@debian9:/tmp# flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
edit: I accidentally used the old uboot.2016.05 version.
And also i did forget to download uboot 2017.07...
root@debian9:/tmp# flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
root@debian9:/tmp# nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.2017.07-tld-1.dockstar.mtd0.kwb
damn but ok I need to download uboot.2017.07-tld-1.dockstar.bodhi.tar first.
wget https://www.dropbox.com/s/8n5c2fzgpoxgk39/uboot.2017.07-tld-1.dockstar.bodhi.tar --no-check-certificate
So I did erase mtd0 again and flashed uboot.2017.07 again.
root@debian9:/tmp# flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
Is this ok?
Size seems to be ok but what about the address?
My flash_erase version:
Erase blocks of the specified MTD device.
Specify a count of 0 to erase to end of device.
your output:
Bodhi do you have an idea why I different address is shown during erasing mtd0?
root@debian9:/tmp# nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.2016.05-tld-1.dockstar.mtd0.kwb
Writing looks good.
I have created I new kernel image as descibed (4a method)

kirkwood-tld-1 -d initrd.img-4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1 uInitrd
Current env-vars
Does it look good? What do you think can I safely reboot?
I also need to save the vars if they are ok, right?
fw_setenv only lasts till reboot?
saveenv is available in u-boot only I think.
Which vars are neccessary as default ?

Tom,
Everything looks OK (no error).
However, you kept going back and forth with the u-boot version in your log above! So make sure the last flash is for uboot.2017.07-tld-1.dockstar.mtd0.kwb
The flash_erase address "Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 7f5eef5c00000064 -- 4 % complete" is a known bogus output. So it is OK.
You also need to set
For netconsole, replace the 2 numbers below with your real IP addresses in your network. ipaddr is one you want to assign to the Dockstar (client). serverip is one you will use to as netconsole server to monitor the Dockstar boot progress (it could be your laptop IP or which ever box that can run netconsole server).
After you've done the above, pls list the envs again and post here

For netconsole, replace the 2 numbers below with your real IP addresses in your network. ipaddr is one you want to assign to the Dockstar (client). serverip is one you will use to as netconsole server to monitor the Dockstar boot progress (it could be your laptop IP or which ever box that can run netconsole server).
fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.0.231 fw_setenv serverip 192.168.0.220
After you've done the above, pls list the envs again and post here
fw_printenv

I flashed uboot.2017.07 finally once again, so we are sure that this is the actual version.

Tom,
You did not flash the default envs image. You need to do that before setting your specific envs.
and then set these varriables
Please post the envs here afterward.

Should I flash the default u-boot envs image ?
1. flash erease
/usr/sbin/flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0xc0000 1
2. flash u-boot envs image
/usr/sbin/nandwrite -s 786432 /dev/mtd0 uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.img

bodhi,
just got some time to play with my dockstar again.
I have installed the Linux-4.15.2-kirkwood-tld-1 kernel image and what should I say it is working! :)
With the newest uboot the kernel gets booted without any problems.
It seems that the old uboot has issues to boot the newer kernels however.
Now I have only some cosmetic issues from above. How can I get rid of this warnings and errors?
I have disabled ipv6 in /etc/sysctl.conf
but...

Set it to USB only, Dockstar does not have mmc or ide:

These output are not supressable in new u-boot. It always blindly scans everything and gives us this, I have not got around to see how to make it so it is less noisy.

For systemd, you will need to look for answer in general Debian forum. I'm avoiding all discussion about systemd :)

Set it to USB only, Dockstar does not have mmc or ide:
fw_setenv devices usb

These output are not supressable in new u-boot. It always blindly scans everything and gives us this, I have not got around to see how to make it so it is less noisy.

For systemd, you will need to look for answer in general Debian forum. I'm avoiding all discussion about systemd :)
EDIT: command typo.

Dear bodhi,
I am in the same position (ie. Dockstar) and followed the steps in the uboot-tutorial and compared the output to this thread. Flashing etc. seemed to work fine (no reboot yet), my new uboot envs looks like:
To be honest, I have no idea whether any error is embedded or not. In contrast to the old uboot envs, there are differences:
- the old one had a part about the rescue system in the NAND (which worked till now very well!) -> does this still works with the new environment or do I have to change/ add variables?
- stderr, stdin, stdout are now "serial", in the old one it was "nc" -> I have no serial console installed and always used 'nc' via a remote server (which worked very well, too) -> but I assume this is "normal" now and 'nc' works due to the 'preboot' command? And the older 'ncip' variable is not necessary anymore?
- with newer kernel I can skip completely the steps from the rootfs tutorial to generate the uImage with DTB embedded inside, because the uboot envs already points to that file? So I can just extract the tarball and use it (straightforward)?
- I had to use your external uboot flashing utilities, because although fw_printenv/ fw_setenv are there,the flashing utilities are missing. Is there a reason why Debian does not have them? I use the older 4.4.0 rootfs and was not able to find it with 'find'.
thanks and best.
