Netgear Stora boot error with kernel 4.16.1-kirkwood-tld-1

Thx linux-4.16.1-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi

Netgear Stora 2hdd raid1 boot /dev/md0

add .config md raid1+ autodetect on boot,
remove MTD Support ( I do not use and I'm sick of messages "__nand_correct_data: uncorrectable ECC error"),
remove WiMax,WiFi Support I do not use,
compile zImage

just a few errors when loading the kernel:

[    0.000000] INITRD: 0x00800000+0x00792000 overlaps in-use memory region - disabling initrd
[    0.020998] audit: initializing netlink subsys (disabled)
[    0.023432] [Firmware Info]: /ocp@f1000000/ethernet-controller@72000/ethernet0-port@0: local-mac-address is not set
[    0.029347] No ATAGs?
[    8.072222] [Firmware Warn]: /ocp@f1000000/mdio-bus@72004/ethernet-phy@8: Whitelisted compatible string. Please remove
[   10.081705] rtc-mv f1010300.rtc: internal RTC not ticking

how to overcome them?

My STORA works with the new kernel 4.16.1, thank You for your work.

The above error messages are OK.

For this initrd error I need to see the serial console bootlog to determine if there is problem in how you set up u-boot envs to load kernel.

With this kernel, the indication of the included storage (blue diode) constantly reacts to something and blinks, it was just burning when it was loaded.

Diode hard drives work correctly!

1. Try loading uInitrd at 0x1100000

bootcmd_ide=ide reset; ext2load ide 0 0x200000 /boot/uImage; ext2load ide 0 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd
bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(console) root=/dev/md0; run bootcmd_ide; bootm 0x200000 0x1100000

2. LED

Check what state it is set right now. This could have been set to something like network connection.

cat  /sys/class/leds/status:blue:activity_led/trigger

Turn it off

echo none > /sys/class/leds/status:blue:activity_led/trigger

Set it to heartbeat

echo heartbeat > /sys/class/leds/status:blue:activity_led/trigger
