Install Kernel 5.1.11-kirkwood-tld-2 on Lenovo Iomega EZ

Hi bodhi,
I have a Lenovo Iomega EZ. I follow this guide "Install pure Debian on Iomega EZ Media" but I try to upgrade kernel to 5.1.11 but at reboot the uboot load the old 4.12.1, I follow your step on 1st post for upgrade procedure.
Can you help me? But can I update u-boot on this device or it's not necessary?

If by "4.12." you meant stock kernel?

Do have serial console? let it boot and capture the entire serial console log and post here.

Boia11,

Evrything looks good in this boot.

Now since you have serial console, and have logged into Debian. Go ahead and nstall the new kernel in this serial console login session. And then reboot.

After the box rebooted, see if you can log in with serial console again. And in Debian, ping the router to see if the network is up.

ping 192.168.1.254

1. If the ping was not successful, post the entire serial console log here .

2. If the ping was successful, keep this serial console session open. Open another terminal and try log in with SSH.

If you can't log in with SSH, post the entire serial console log here.

Yes bodhi, the SSH work fine. But i need to upgrade kernel to 5.1.11.

I create a gist for resume step of installation of debian on Iomega | Lenovo EZ Media & Backup.

Guide for install Debian stretch on Iomega Lenovo EZ Media & Backup

Can you help me to complete guide with correct step for upgrade kernel?

Boia11,

If you have problem in installing Kernel 5.1.11-kirkwood-tld-2, or problem in booting after installing, then do what I suggested above.

Okay, I prepare disk with clean copy of Debian roofs 4.12.1 for try to update kernel.
Before procede, this steps are correct?

Boia11,

That looks OK.

Hi,

That guide you used loads the uinitrd and uimage from raw drive sectors.

To update them you have write the new images to the drive in the same way, or change your boot parameters to load from USB or a partition.

Updating the kernel in Debian alone won’t load it through uboot.

Boot to uboot and printenv, post the output for us to see.

How to do that?

Hi,

Load the uImage and uInitrd from the hard disk sectors is possible, but it does make updates more complex, as a change in image size can stop the system booting.

Boot with the serial console connected and when you see this prompt;
Hit any key to stop autoboot:

Hit a key to get to the uboot prompt. Then enter printenv and paste the output here, so we can see how it's booting now.

If you just want to 'roll the dice' that you have created the 5.1 kernel images correctly, with the dtb appended, here are the commands from the github you linked to;

dd if=uImage of=/dev/sda bs=1MiB seek=10
dd if=uInitrd of=/dev/sda bs=1MiB seek=20

If you don't know what I mean by 'dtb appended' DO NOT write the images using dd, the box won't boot without an appended dtb.

Perhaps tell us what you're trying to achieve. For this box, with the old uboot, usb booting is likely to be a much more manageable option.

Boia11,

As J described above, there are disadvantages using HDD raw sector to store kernel images. It will work, but it is not simple as using USB for the entire rootfs.

So if you'd like to boot with USB or HDD rootfs the normal way, look in this thread:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,15887

and see how others set up to boot with USB (I recall iomega_ez got a clean boot with USB or HDD rootfs the normal way, no HDD raw sector).

-bodhi
===========================
Forum Wiki
bodhi's corner (buy bodhi a beer)

To boot from USB, create a 4.12 rootfs (using Bodhi's instructions in the Kernel / Rootfs thread), label it rootfs and enter these commands into the uboot prompt;

setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 mtdparts=spi_flash:0x7e000@0(u-boot),0x1000@0x7f000(env),0x1000@0x7e000(env2) earlyprintk=serial'
setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb reset; run usb_scan; printenv bootargs; ext2load usb $(usb_device) 0x40000 /boot/uImage; ext2load usb $(usb_device) 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; bootm 0x40000 0x1100000'
printenv
run bootcmd_usb

This should boot the usb and you can then update the kernel on the usb rootfs from within the booted system.

Post the serial log here and we can help with next steps.

Hi,

You haven't appended the dtb to the image, make sure you follow all steps of '4b' in Bodhi's instructions.

Here are the commands;

cd /boot
mv uImage uImage.orig
cp -a zImage-5.1.11-kirkwood-tld-2  zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-lenovo-iomega-ez.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.1.11-kirkwood-tld-2 -d zImage.fdt  uImage

The write the kernel and initrd to the drive;

dd if=uImage of=/dev/sda bs=1MiB seek=10
dd if=uInitrd of=/dev/sda bs=1MiB seek=20

I follow this step if you see the code sequence in my post but at boot the verification failed

Ok, then the kernel is too large for the load command you are using in uboot.

Again, boot from USB, you will have a much easier time.
