I must have missed something during rebase. Or I did not completely fix this bug :)
UPDATE:
The rebase was OK. My test HDD was 4TB. Perhaps there are more problem somewhere in the driver that I did not encounter, like with you did with your 12 TB HDD.

Attached here is the Dec 15 build. This build is to see if we can activate both SATA slots.
uboot.2025.10-tld-1.ds211.bodhi.251215-2.tar
This tarball contains 5 files. Ony the image uboot.2025.10-tld-1.ds211.kwb is different from previous build.
With the both HDDs in the upper and lower bay, kwboot and, do the same test as before.
Please post the entire serial console log.

Ivan,
That was very good! I don't recall we got this far before. Both HDDs are active. Is the 12TB HDD in the bottom bay? (which we had problem before).
What format is this Seagate 465.7 GB HDD? Ext3 or Ext4?
If Ext3, do
If Ext4, was it formatted with "finalized" optiion?
========
I need to investigate "Read outside partition" error. I think because when I've fixed the bug, I only tested with a 4TB HDD. This seems to indicate the similar bug is still in a different part of the driver.

That was very good! I don't recall we got this far before. Both HDDs are active. Is the 12TB HDD in the bottom bay? (which we had problem before).
> DS211> ext4ls sata 0:1 / > ** No partition table - sata 0 ** > Couldn't find partition sata 0:1
What format is this Seagate 465.7 GB HDD? Ext3 or Ext4?
If Ext3, do
ext2ls sata 0:1 /And so on.
If Ext4, was it formatted with "finalized" optiion?
mkfs.ext4 -E lazy_itable_init=0
========
I need to investigate "Read outside partition" error. I think because when I've fixed the bug, I only tested with a 4TB HDD. This seems to indicate the similar bug is still in a different part of the driver.

Bodhi,
Good progress, thanks for your help so far!
The Seagate 465.7GB HDD was btrfs, so uboot was not able to see it. I have formatted it to Ext4 (there are no partitions), and with "finalized" optiion:
On the upper bay now we have 12TB HDD, and on the lower bay it's the Seagate 465.7GB HDD.
I have copied the "Backgrounds" folder to the newly formatted Seagate 465.7GB HDD, so we have something to ls and load, which I did.
Serial console full log:

I see. We do have btrfs support in u-boot. But of course, I did not turn it on for these u-boots.

You should have at least 1 partition. HDDs don't work well with no partition. So use fdisk or parted to wipe the disk and and create 1 parttion for the entire disk. And reformat
It's nice to see both HDDs! now you can boot from either slot.

Hello Bodhi,
That's great, can I have btrfs support please?
I also have an issue with a specific usb stick that I want to use for swap, it doesn't get recognized during uboot, nor kernel boot, but once in Debian I just need to remove it and plug it back in and it get's recognized. I have attached my conversation with the AI to this post that was ultimately unsuccessful, but has a lot of clues. This is optional and I can live without it.
I have partitioned the drive and formatted using "lazy_itable_init=0".
Did the same test as before:

That was not how we solve this problem. AI does not know much except for simple cases.
In the log, it shows you have "EHCI timed out on TD" error. Is this an HDD inside USB enclosure, or attached to an USB-HDD adapter?
It was an old error and I thought this has been fixed in mainline u-boot. But I guess there is always a corner case that has not been seen before. If this is USB HDD, chance is that the controller in the adapter is old.
In any case, I would not use swap on USB (even with USB HDD) if I can have a swap file on SATA HDD. USB is very slow.

It will indeed take a while. There is a problem in u-boot that should be fixed before we can build with BRTFS for this DS211 and other Kirkwood boxes.
The DS116 and N2350 which is Armada 38x, can be built with BTRFS, no problem.

Great! I have flashed the last uBoot.
Is there anything else to investigate for DS211?
For the USB it seems that a specific USB stick I was using was not being detected properly during uBoot, others are fine. But as you mentioned it is not the best idea to use the USB stick / drive for swap.

In the log, it shows you have "EHCI timed out on TD" error. Is this an HDD inside USB enclosure, or attached to an USB-HDD adapter? probably a Seagate enclosure?
If other USB drives are fine then we can ignore this corner case for now. It's a known and old problem that surface from time to time.
The only thing that I need to investigate is "Read outside partition" error with 12TB HD. It's a common driver problem (not specific to this box). If you use this as boot drive and you can boot then don't worry about it.

Cool! I think the USB rootfs is quite versatile. Easier to make backup, and easier to administer your box remotely (if you do).
