This problem is on Arch distro so you should ask at Arch site. This is quite different between Arch systemd and Debian sysvinit.

Hi all, I'm facing problems trying to boot off gpt partition on my hdd.
I own Netgear Stora and use this uBoot, here's my output:

Ill,
If the disk does not contain data, reformat it in Debian with parted. Or back up the data and reformat.

I tried a bunch of partitioning tools, including parted, all with the same result (no result actually). It seems as my box doesn't understand gpt while on the uboot stage. The partition type: DOS and the code EE say that uboot sees the protective MBR, not gpt.
Anyway, the only thing that helped was gdisk's hybrid MBR, but I consider it a dirty hack :)

Ill,
Sorry about this :) I was so sure that it's was included the Netgear patch in u-Boot. But you've found out the hard way, I missed that 1 line of code in the Netgear Stora patch!!! Must have been an editing error. Seems like other Stora users have not tried this feature.
I will release a new u-boot version soon which will include this. Pls check back in a couple weeks.

I've uploaded the 2014.01-tld-3 u-Boot image for Netgear Stora. This version corrected the missing support for GPT and large HDD booting.
Since it has not been tested, please remember to try UART booting first before flashing for real.

AWESOME!
Thank you @bodhi. Will try to give the PPV4 uBoot a test tonight/tomorrow.

hi @bodhi,
I don't think the default uboot environment are correct.
Looks like you're missing the "run" in front:
As feedback, I would like to see the "mmc_bootcmd" and "sata_bootcmd" (<devicetype>_bootcmd) as the standard.

Thanks Gray!
LouisV did report the typos:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11663,16696#msg-16696
I've updated the post to indicate that.
The reason I use bootcmd_xxx postfix was to follow the same convention that Jeff used originally. It is nice to see all bootcmd's in the same place when you list it in netconsole or serial console (they are sorted by alphanumeric order).

Here is the default uboot env from my E02 using Jeff's installation script. He uses <devicetype>_bootcmd as the standard. I believe DavyGravy was the one that switched it up. Doesn't really matter as long as it's consistent. What convention does the uboot from ALARM use?

Hi bodhi,
I would like to use 3TB hard drives, with arch linux or debian. What is the start point?. I have already installed arch linux from the archlinux website and it works good.But 3TB support is not there. And right now I am using USB drive (top). I would like to use the SD card. And I don't want to solder a serial cable. How do I use the netconsole?. Thanks in advance.

vaidyasr,
If your question is about the Pogo V4 or Mobile with Arch installed, then 3TB is not supported and netconsole is not supported either. This is because current ALARM Pogo V4 U-boot is a variant of stock U-Boot.
So you can install the latest U-Boot in this thread and boot the same Arch rootfs. But with your current U-Boot and Arch installation, you will need to download NAND tools (I mentioned in 1st post) to flash U-Boot. But pls read the entire post before starting.

Hi bodhi,
I would like to my PPV4 with Debian. I don't have serial cable. I would like to use SD card as a root device. So, do I need to use Jeff's script?. Please help. I don't want to screw my PPV4 2nd time.
I found the arch linux is recognizing the USB hub which was not recognized by stack OS. Is there a possibility of using the kernel modules/drivers used in arch to the stack OS, so that I don't bother any of the above steps?. I mainly want to use my USB hub, so that I can connect 2+ drives.

@gray
It is more complicated than just adding the file.
@vaidyasr,
When you boot with Arch installation on Pogo V4/Mobile, you're not using the uboot-env-tools that newer systems are using. You are using blparam (cloudengines tool to deal with NAND).
So let me get you the links to different threads here, and once you've read them, I'll write more explanation.

No.

@vaidyasr,
Here is the thread that shows similar instruction about how to install new U-Boot manually. The starting point is from the Arch Linux installation of Pogo V4/Mobile:
[Pogoplug Mobile/Series 4] Install uBoot/Debian
From this post, you can see the NAND tools set is needed to do the installation, if you are installing from a system that does not provide it (stock Pogo OS, Pogo V4 Arch Linux). And as the result, you need to:
- download NAND tools
- create the file /etc/fw_env.config
Note that I stated this in the first post of this thread (current Arch Linux installation for Pogo V4 is like stock in this aspect):
Please ask more questions if you're not sure. Because you could brick your box doing manual installation for U-Boot.
Advice: you should be preprared to connect a serial console in case of something goes wrong.

Also, if you are running stock kernel, which usually does not provide NAND tools, you can download it here in this thread.

Please let me know my manual steps are OK.
I downloaded the nandtools and got them in /tmp.
Created /etc/fw_env.config manually by using below commands.
echo "/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000">/etc/fw_env.config
# /tmp/flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
# /tmp/nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.nandpogoV4-MMC-mtdparts-noSATA.kwb
The above are the steps I have planned to do. After that can I just reboot, so that it will start in arch linux, but with 3TB support.

OK, here are my steps.
I believe the link above you have shared should be http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,11538,11706
Because in the link I have shared, they have blparam commands.
1. Download UBOOT image from http://bitly.com/1mv0END (PPV4). filename - uboot.2014.07-tld-1.pogo_v4.bodhi.tar
2. Create /etc/fw_env.config manually by using below commands.
Flash uBoot
Flash uBoot env
Download uboot.2014.07-tld-1.environment.img.bodhi.tar
Modify env
Restore envs from the saved env.

That serial should work, same one listed in this blog http://blog.qnology.com/2013/10/pogoplug-e02-v2-serial-connection.html
I don't think it works with windows OS greater than 7
