GoFleax Net, not booting

Hi,
I got a go flex net and ran the "kirkwood-debian-wheezy.sh" script on it. It completed and created the usb stick as supposed.
I was able to boot and ssh into it after but noticed it's a really old debian so I decided to make a new rootfs.
Little did I know that it will not boot with the new rootfs, tried both the 4.4.0 and the 4.12.1; no luck

below please find the environment variables as retrived via serial interface and the output when trying to boot

Can someone help me unbrick this thing?

Formatted the stick with mke2fs and put the 4.12.1 on it according to instructions. recreated uImage.

now I get the following at which point the front light goes off and everything stays put.

Hi, if you plan on running Debian full time you'd be best upgrading Uboot and using the default boot envs provided.

But, if you just want to boot on stock uboot (and be able to go back to stock) the problem could be the initrd load address. For my Lenovo box the stock uboot needs initrd loaded higher.

try: 0x2100000 instead of 0x1100000

Full command:
usb_boot=mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load usb $usb_device 0x800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load usb $usb_device 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi

If that doesn't work Bodhi may be able to assist.

Fixed, sorry for the disturbance.

Booted 4.4 and flashed latest U-Boot

Cool!

bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

just my luck with these devices, bumped into something else.
it works fine until I try to install OMV on it and then during install it throws a

[  270.568958] usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using orion-ehci

and it freezes

it also throws a lot of messages like this

latest occurrence:

it throws a

[   21.729007] usb 1-1: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using orion-ehci

and freezes

it was also printing messages about adding time but I think I fixed that via /etc/ntp.conf, activated different servers

I think that was related to using ext4 on the usb stick, a 32GB Sandisk Cruzer Slide.
not sure what to do now as I cannot get it to install the OMV anymore, tried repeatedly and failed, even repeated attempts to start with a fresh rootfs.
I am contemplating in using the debian8 rootfs but that one will not boot under current environment.

in order to rule out any and all extraneous things, could I go ahead and run the install uboot script again (if I pass it the option to not check the current uboot)? would that and going through the latest uboot install again provide a clean slate that would rule out all the things that I mights have changed?

veriqster,

Recently in the forum there were reports about installing OMV in Debian Stretch. Quite a bit of problems, but there were solutions posted. Have you searched the forum?

bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

I have, the only thing I found was the armbian config at https://github.com/armbian/config.
I wonder what happens if I install it given how little resources the board has I expect it will simply drag like heck.
creating a new rootfs as we speak and will try it. I'm stuck at this point.

Would it be safe to run the uboot install script with the no verify option?
Is that going to provide a clean environment for running the wheezy install script?

If so I would rather do that so I can downgrade to an earlier Debian, update to latest uBoot and run the OMV on Debian 8 or even wheezy, from what I read there's not so many issues installing OMV on those.

you know, the funny thing is I have a 2GB old sandisk cruizer that I somehow installed this OMV onto debian 9, don't know how, it was all in this process of trying and failing, I just booted from it to see what's on it and realized the OMV was working.
so I went ahead and created a tar file of the filesystem and then tried to untar it onto larger and newer drive (tried a few).
I use

tar -xvpzf /path/to/backup.tar.gz -C /media/whatever --numeric-owner

as a template for the command. It completes and then it gives me the same damn thing I posted above every time I try to boot from it; it resets the usb just like it does if I try to do a straight install.
I would just use that usb stick but it's 90% full and being this old and so full is a recipe for disaster in near future and I can't clone it to anything else.

and here is the result of trying to install the armel script.
makes me wonder if this is related to the drives rather than the software, they are all 32GB Sandisk Cruzer Glide that came as freebies with the WD drives I bought from BestBuy.

Progress: [ 75%] [###########################################...............]

exactly the same result with a 32G Sandisk ultra stick (the ones that can also be plugged into the micro usb from the other end of the stick).

But the old 2GB still works, I just can't replicate it.

veriqster,

The error has nothing to do with u-boot.

You should try the jessie rootfs, and don't run systemd. Wait till everything is working and switch over to systemd if you choose to.

Updated 20 Feb 2016:

This Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 is to keep in sync with kernel Linux-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1.

Basic minimal Debian Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs:

- tarball size: 137M
- install size: 398M
- a basic jessie rootfs.
- 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

bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

reinstalled uboot, latest, exactly according to instructions.
created a 4.4 rootfs and booted it. the only thing I modified is the fstab
this is all I have in it

LABEL=rootfs    /               ext3    noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1
tmpfs /run tmpfs nosuid,noexec,size=20M,nr_inodes=4096 0  0

boots with some warnings. once at login I ran apt-get update and ran into the same "reset USB" which halted the system
hard reboot. completed the apt-get update. upon apt-get upgrade I got this.
tried with the other new stick, same results, at some point I get this strange "reset USB' and it's the end of story.

wondering if there's any logs that can pinpoint the issue.
Maybe it's the USB drives (but I tried 2 Sandisks of different purchase time and type)

keeps throwing the "usb reset" at me every time I try to get something installed.
For some reason I am under the impression that I see the EXT4-fs module mentioned close before the reset. Could this cause a problem?

3 times out of 4 when it gets stuck and I reboot I get this

veriqster,

My recommendation:

- Recreate the Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 rootfs, with a single partition formatted in EXT3, using a different USB flash drive. Preferred brand: Sandisk.

- Make sure you are not booting with systemd. The new u-boot is default to boot whatever init system on the rootfs. And the Debian-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 is sysvinit. So you should check your u-boot envs to see if it was set up to boot systemd. If it does, remove it.

- And then install OMV.

Hi all,
I'm not even sure this is related to the systemd, although the 4.12 rootfs seems to cause the drives to crash almost every time there's intense disk access activity, the 4.4 is a coin toss.

There's a bug somewhere and I don't have the skills to find it.

Bottom line is the 16GB Sandisk Cruzer Glide (2 of them) and the 32GB Sandisk Cruzer Glide (3 of them) do not want to work with this unit. Even if used with 4.4 rootfs they do act up and crash the system at some point, even if not every boot cycle. They do seem to work fine with the OxNas units (pogo pro), go figure, ...

Symptoms: the USB reset happens at some point and once it starts happening even if the system recovers for the moment it will crash completely within 2-3 reboots.

I ran some tests on these Cruzer drives and I am not sure how to interpret the results but they all have plenty of sectors that take longer then 500 ms to access.

The OLD 2GB Sandisk USB drives I've had since before I can remember work fine with it but I am leery of running something that is supposed to store my data off of those drives, they've been used intensively as rootfs drives and might croak any moment.

I bought a 3 pack of Memorex drives from Target. 16GB capacity. The drives are slow even compared to the OLD Sandisks, they take 3 times as long to create the rootfs compared to the Cruzer Slide drives and they do act up from time to time but unlike the Sandisk drives they seem to go through a USB reset just fine, the system has yet to crash and lock up due to drive reset, unlike the Sandisk drives. Out of the 3 two work OK, the system has recovered every time the drive reset so far; the third is toast - it gives a "bad CRC" on boot even with a freshly created rootfs.


If someone can recommend a USB drive that is more reliable or if there's a way to have the system map these errors and avoid using the blocks that cause them I would appreciate your help.

Also, if there's a way to avoid the slow sectors when formatting the drives that would probably be a solution but that is way beyond what I understand how to do.

Does anyone have a uEnv.txt for a GoFlex Net handy, I would like to try one out rather than mess up the hardcoded environment. Or can I just do a "printenv" and dump the output to a text file?

The problem is with OMV. But if you run systemd, it seems to make it worse.

Yes. Use fw_ printenv and refirect ouput to uEnv.txt.

Ended up using the HDD for the rootfs.
Created a 8GB partition at the beginning of each HDD and labeled one of them as rootfs.
Installed everything and it works like a charm Debian 9 with OMV 4. Once installed I created a tarball of the system and stored it on the 8GB partition that is no labeled. Untarred and now I have a rootfs ready to go in case something happens. All that needs to be done to boot from the other drive is to label the partition.
The remainder of the space on both drives is used for RAID1 and stores / shares the data over the network.
I also plan on setting up the usbbackup plugin so I can just plug in a USB drive and have the data backed up automatically at certain intervals.
The on issue I have for now is that at some point after the OMV install the system started throwing a message like this

[33374.394808] systemd[1]: anacron.timer: Adding 4min 42.771661s random time.

It does not happen all the time but at when it does it keeps going for a while.
Not sure how to fix that as I already updated the ntp config to use the online debian time server and commented out the IP address servers that came with the default config.
I get about 10MBs speed while copying my data from another share to the this newly created one. It's on a 100Mb ethernet so I guess that is acceptable.
