Greetings. I'll be quite blunt...I got myself into a bit of a fustercluck with my Netgear Stora.

First off, I tried updating uBoot from stock to the latest 2017.07 release, with the intention of attempting to install OMV (or at least something newer than the ancient stock kernel so I can get stable SMB2 support). Unfortunately, since my initial plan was to install OMV, I didn't follow the instructions provided on this forum. Instead, I followed the instructions located at http://chrislamothe.blogspot.com/2014/08/openmediavault-06-kralizec-on-netgear.html (but replaced the tftp filename with the latest version). However, after flashing the new uBoot, I decided instead of going right into installing OMV, I'd first try to get (what was at the time I downloaded it) the latest Bodhi kernel (Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs).

This is when things went off the rails.

uBoot itself seems to have flashed fine, and I have serial access to it. However, it will not boot from the 5.2.9 kernel USB. It'll make it as far as "Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel.", and then just hang there forever.

I also tried booting it from an older "stora-debian-rootfs_20140114" ext2 flash drive that I've successfully used in the past for recovery purposes (after accidentally nuking the stock /lib directory, oops...), but same thing, it hangs at "booting the kernel". Same when I change the environment variables to boot from the stock kernel in NAND, it hangs. Basically...I'm currently stuck in uBoot, with no way to go any further.

I imagine what's happened is that one or more environment variables got screwed up...and then I made things even worse in my attempts to fix them piecemeal by reading multiple different forum posts. So, I imagine flashing the default environment variables might fix it. However...how do I do this from within uBoot? Is that even possible? The forum post that tells how to flash them only tells how to do it from within a booted Linux, and not from within uBoot itself.

If it helps, here is the uBoot startup log, along with the output of printenv:

Note: Along with the various assorted "desperate attempt to fix this" changes, many of which I can not recall off the top of my head, I also manually changed bootdelay to 3 simply because I didn't like waiting 10 seconds for it to try booting from USB. :p


And here is the boot log of it attempting to boot from the 5.2.9 kernel USB:

It is not that bad! you just messed up the envs in your attempt to recover.

So let's get you back to a decent boot into Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs.

With only the USB rootfs attached (remove the HDD if any attched), power up, interrupt serial console and

setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-netgear_stora_ms2000.dtb'
setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts earlyprintk=serial'
setenv bootcmd 'run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec'

List tthe envs for reference later, and then boot

printenv
boot

And post serial console log here. Successfully booted to Debian or not, it's good to see exactly where you are in case you have more question.

If the boot is successful, then you can proceed to set the modified envs permanently (with fw_setenv).

Or you could reflash the envs image (Step 8 in u-boot installation) so that you will remove all wrong envs and start fresh.

Anything else I should do before I go about trying to get it working as a NAS again?

torindkflt,

Cool!

As I mentioned above, at this point you would want to either set the envs permanently or reflash the envs image (Step 8).

Verify that the mtd partitions are OK.

cat /proc/mtd

List the envs

fw_printenv

If the info abov looks OK. So can proceed to set the envs permanently (what you did in serial console is transient):

fw_setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-netgear_stora_ms2000.dtb'
fw_setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts earlyprintk=serial'
fw_setenv bootcmd 'run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec'

And reboot without interruption. It should boot all the way into Debian like before.

Here's the output of /proc/mtd:

dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "uboot"
mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "kernel"
mtd2: 0fb00000 00020000 "rootfs"

Is this correct?

Something else I've noticed is that the power immediately turns on the instant I plug in the power adapter, whereas on stock uBoot I had to push the power button to turn it on. Is there a way to disable the auto-poweron in the new uBoot? Not a big deal if it isn't possible, I just would prefer if I can to not have it automatically power on like that.

I'll wait to hear back before I do anything else, such as trying to load the rootfs onto the hard drive (or could it maybe be flashed to NAND? If so, that would be nice).

Yes it is correct. And the fact that you can run fw_printenv and see sane output, it is doubly good.

The Power button should behave the same way.

Inside Debian, verify that by: shutdown, and then unplug the cord, plug it back in. The box should not start until you press the Power button.

Some people prefer it to start automatically after a power outage. But the default behavior should be like your preference.

NAND storage in this box is quite small. The Debian rootfs should be on HDD or USB.

All right, I'll install it to the hard drive then.

One more question...is there a way to make the power LED stop blinking while it is turned on? I'd like it to just be lit solid while it is running, because otherwise it is...kind of annoying, lol.

It is always blinking rapdidly when booting. Once the kernel has booted the power LED should stay solid.

Alas, it is not. Once booted, the power LED is blinking twice rapidly, pausing for a second, blinking twice rapidly, pausing for a second, and so forth. Otherwise it seems to be running normally.

I wonder if this is somehow related to the other issue I'm having where it automatically powers on the instant I plug in the power adapter (it's not supposed to do that).

Sounds like the heartbeat is set. You can examine it by

cat /sys/class/led/status:blue:power_led/trigger
cat /sys/class/led/status:blue:activity_led/trigger

If either of them show heartbeat (selected trigger is in square brackets [ ]) then turm it on/off in /etc/rc.local.

See the example in /etc/rc.local for other boxes (this Stora came late and I always forgot to udate the released rootfs).

echo none > /sys/class/led/status:blue:activity_led/trigger

or

echo default-on  > /sys/class/led/status:blue:activity_led/trigger

Yep, heartbeat was set on /sys/class/led/status:blue:activity_led/trigger. Modified rc.local to echo the default-on statement you gave above, and that fixed it. Now it only blinks while booting. Thanks!

Since we're past the original uBoot issue, this thread can be closed now. If I have any more questions or problems, I'll start a new thread. Thank you.
