Need help with Lenovo ix2-ng
July 17, 2019 04:02PM
Hello, I have recently received a Lenovo ix2-ng NAS in order to make from it a DLNA server for Tv Shows and Movies. Using the stock firmware that has a version of Twonky it is unable to load the subtitle file.
Thus through my research of alternatives to the stock firmware I have reached to your forum.
Currently I am having issues with booting Debian from a usb stick due to a uboot read error.

Commands done to create the usb stick on an Ubuntu environment: 
0. sudo su => All commands were run under root@AlDaniel
1. Used gparted to format the usb stick with ext2 and the name rootfs
2. mount /dev/sdg1 /media/sdb1/
3. cd /media/sdb1/
4. tar -xjf Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
5. cd etc/
6. vi fstab
7. Modified fstab by changing ext3 to ext2
8. cd ..
9. cd boot/
10. cp -a zImage-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1  zImage.fdt
11. cat dts/kirkwood-lenovo-ix2-ng.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
12. mv uImage uImage.orig
13. 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
14. sync
15. cd /home/
16. umount /media/sdb1/

Commands done to Marvell Uboot via GtkTerm: 
setenv load_initrd 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x2100000 /boot/uInitrd'
setenv load_uimage 'ext2load usb 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage'
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 mtdparts=orion_nand:0x80000@0(uboot),0x20000@0xa0000 (env),0x20000@0xc0000(env2),0x300000@0x100000(uImage),0x400000@0x400000(initrd),0x3f800000@0x800000 (boot),1024m@0x0(flash) earlyprintk=serial'
setenv usb_boot 'usb start; run load_uimage; run load_initrd; bootm 0x800000 0x2100000'
setenv bootcmd 'run usb_boot'
setenv usb_root 'LABEL=rootfs'
setenv rootdelay 10
boot

This is a hardware problem. If there are more than 1 USB port on this box, try the other USB port. If not, try using a diffrent USB thumb drive. I'd prefer Sandisk brand (most reliable for booting).
