unsupported machine ID 0x00000bb6 (=2998)

Hi,

I tried to create a wheezy USB stick on my 'old' squeeze dockstar. Now I can only boot into pogo - w/o really knowing why.

1) started the wheezy installation which updated the uboot
2) failed to create wheezy with Kernel to old message
3) found that neither internal debian squeeze nor usb squeeze boots any longer - both fail with unsupported machine id error
4) interrupted boot, printenv shows "arcNumber=2097"
5) tried to install improved rescue system from pogo - which refuses to update the boot partition, reasonable

6) tried to install rescue system on second dockstar - as the upgrade of uboot happend, too, its not stuck, too .-)

7) tried to install squeeze again thinking that it might install an older uboot - which it didn't :-)

So now I'm stuck w/o good ideas how to recover the boxes and continue. I can only boot into pogo at this point in time - serial cable is available.

Help is really appreciated.
Fritz!

To recover, try interrupt UBoot again, at the UBoot prompt, set the machine id to 831 (2097 in decimal). The env name is machid.

To make sure that you can play with the UBoot envs without doing it for real, don't do a saveenv, just let it boot once to the kernel. This way if you've made any mistake, no change got saved for the next boot.

Once the system is running, you can then do fw_setenv at the command line to set it for real.

And then run the UBoot installation again.

Perfect - right to the spot answer - thanks a lot.

Using machid temporary via setenv and later on permanently (for now) via fw_setenv I'm able to boot from internal and usb again.
Was also able to sucessfully re-run the rescue install - stretching it by trying the wheezy USB install again.

Thanks a ton!
Fritz!
