Right on! that's what I saw yesterday. A problem with Kconfig, probably.

I'm reconfiguring this kernel and moving some drivers out to initrd. Looks like we'll keep it smaller than 5MB easily.

Sounds great.
Please, make sure all marvel sata + ext3/4 drivers are built into kernel.
I found, that initrd is loaded into memory, but is not used - looks like kernel is overwriting some memory regions (on decompression?) and uses drivers from root partition. For that reason default debian 11 kernel/initrd cannot be used to boot on wd

These are important drivers so I always make sure they are built into the kernel.

I don't think it is a kernel decompression problem. Sounds like u-boot problem that we have not solved. Using stock u-boot and cannot change the load adresses will cause the initrd to be corrupted if it is too big. And the standard Debian 10/11 always produce a large initrd, my kernel build also result in a large initrd.
Perhaps we shoud look at the GPL source for this u-boot and try to pach it to solve this once and for all.

Bodhi,
it looks this problem was for a longer time, but i didn't paid attention.
I'll dig deeper to find out if first supported kernels (5.2/5.3?) had this issue or it is related with changing compression to xz.
There's no u-boot source code in wd's gpl sources.

osa,
I think it has been there for quite a long time, probably from day one that you and others tried to boot the new Debian kernel. I recalled seeing it, but since you and other can boot and not raising the question so I forgot to revisit this issue.
This means the load address for initrd is not good, its size is too big. Note that stock kernel has a much smaller initrd.
Since there is no u-boot GPL source, you would have find a workaround to load uInitrd at higher memory address.
Let's think about this a bit. If I remembered this issue incorrectly ( then there was a kernel version that work in the past).
Here are my oldest installed kernel initrd. if the uInitrd.4.19.1-mvebu-tld-1 works then it is easy to fix this problem. If not then we can try to figure out a way.

megal0maniac,
I thought about your kernel panic problem some more. It might be the rootfs.
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,94839,122549#msg-122549
I'd like to see what your rootfs looks like.
Mount it on another Linux box and assuming it is mounted at /media/sdb1.

Good afternoon, I bought a glacier gen2 375 without a disk, purple lights up when turned on is this normal? there is no USB flash drive loading or the local network is not loaded whether the loader is damaged, it can flash it, I tried all the instructions, I mark up the disk in linux ubuntu 20.4 installed on wmware, I fill 5 images into their places, I connect the disk and there is no download

Hi
I'm probably the only user of bodhi's kernel on this box, but i just want to let you know
I just tested linux-6.3.8 kernel and it fits into 5MB limit and boots just fine.
I looked at sizes of all 6.x kernels and they should fit too

Have tried this manual from boot with Fox's unbricking usb but his distro have not dpkg package, also have not apt and apt-get, so I stuck here. From what distro I can boot to finish this Osa'a manual?

No. You need to follow the release instruction to create the full USB rootfs. Scroll down to the section 16 Dec 2023.

So I need a PC or laptop with some Linux to prepare USB (like in the section 16 Dec 2023), then boot WD MyCloud with this USB and then I can do this manual https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=pl&tl=en&u=http://osowiecki.net/debian-na-wd-my-cloud-2-gen/ , right? Is there any way to install just this Debian-6.6.2-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 (16 Dec 2023) to WD MyCloud (without a newest kernel update) in an easier way?
For example, connect hard drive from WD MyCloud to some Linux PC and follow instructions in the section 16 Dec 2023 to mnt/sda3? This way I don't need a USB and can install Debian directly on the hard drive. Or it is not possible?

Yes, that' the idea. You can run the rootfs on either USB or HDD. The rootfs installation is the same.
However, I have not looked at osa's instruction on that site so don't know. But if the kernel uImage and uInitrd are stored on flash, then USB and HDD rootfs booting are identical.

Don't worry about it. We should run the kernel from USB or HDD if possible.

According to instructions in the section 16 Dec 2023 we make uImage but not uInitrd, do I need also do something like this:
(on WD MyCloud Gen2 it is called uRamdisk, so I just renamed it)
By now WD MyCloud Gen2 shines blue all the time.
Where I can get boot log?

Use the latest kernel: linux-6.8.7-mvebu-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 (19 Apr 2024). It shoud work the same.

Hello :)
After a 3 year break, I pulled this board out of the cupboard and gave it another try. It "just works" with the 6.6.2-mvebu-tld-1 rootfs.
However, some observations:
I've been trying to decompile u-boot without much success, to figure out where/how it overwrites bootcmd, or some other variable I could hijack. So I have no persistent way of booting currently.
WD download links also seem to have dried up, although I don't know whether the sources for u-boot were ever made available for this device.

However, some observations:
- The stock u-boot does not have a saveenv command, so no way to change anything from there
- fw_printenv doesn't work off the bat, even with the right addresses. But running printenv in u-boot and copying those values to /etc/u-boot-initial-env allows you to start tweaking variables, and they reflect in u-boot \:D/
- Unfortunately, even though other parameters persist, stock u-boot appears to overwrite bootcmd :(

What I tried at this moment:
Debian-6.6.2-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 - no success
Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar - no success
Debian-5.2.9-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar - no success (no dts for WD MyCloud Gen2)

Is it fixed in Debian-5.13.8-mvebu-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar or how can I fix this CONFIG_MVPP2_PTP?
