Sorry, yes. Looks like something is missing in U-Boot. It does look a little different. Could you post the whole dmesg?

I realized that I hadn't set my mac address back to the original value. I fixed that and made a new usb with the same rootfs.
Also, The first time it didn't like my machid So I changed it to c11 is there a better machid to use?
It seems i'm having a different issue now. I have another box to try.
I pasted the output of a boot sequence here.

heychris,
OK. It does look good, relatively. Except for a few things, though:
- Even though Debian booted, but the machine was identified incorrectly. It thinks it's a GoFlex Net (it's because you've set the machid to C11).
- My kernel does not have Netgear Stora support :) forgot about it! The reason it booted because your arcNumber is 2097 (Marvell reference board). If you have the kernel that supports the Stora, try to boot with it. In UART prompt, set arcNumber to the Stora 2743.
- Your rootfs file system is not Ext3? Your initrd was not loaded because of that. So it really does not matter what we see here in the dmesg log at the end.

I removed the machid c11 and set the arcnumber 2743.
The first usb stick was ext2, following the issue, I rebuilt with ext3. I now have the ext3 usb stick.
I used the debian kernel as uImage and Initrd in the openstora debian install tutorial
http://www.openstora.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=217
The debian installer uImage.di / Initrd.di still doesn't work, but the final uImage and Initrd with your rootfs on ext3 worked just fine.
I was able to boot your rootfs. I put the console dump here

@heychris,
Good progress! so you are booting a squeeze Stora kernel using my wheezy rootfs. It really has not entirely proved that it has no problem with later kernel 3.x.x! but it is a good start.
I guess later I could take a look to see if the Debian Stora patch can be incorporated into 3.13.1 kernel.
In the mean time, if you can, verify some features that the new U-Boot provides such as booting a rootfs on SATA drive (GPT and > 2TB drive), netconsole, EXT4 rootfs, …. things like that. Stuff you can't do with the stock u-Boot.
I'll create the U-Boot patch and post it later.
@Kiryl,
Have you tried this U-Boot image?

Hi Bodhi,
wow, a lots happened during a night ^^"
no, I didn't tried it yet. I saw all this conversation only this morning.
I will try test it todays evening.
FYI (including heychris) - Debian-3.13.1-kirkwood-tld-2-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 image from this forum, seems to work with Stora kernel 3.9.6 compiled by johnou Stora_Kernel_3.9.6
------------------------
As I wrote above I was able to boot my Stora on current u-boot (U-Boot 1.1.4 (Sep 4 2009 - 09:36:11) Marvell version: 3.4.14) with kernel 3.9.6 from Johnou and with your rootfs placed on ext4 partition. The only thing I had to do with this kernel was to add an ext4 support as static, not as module.
I tried also to compile a kernel 3.12.10 with appropriate patches for BFQ and BFS but after executing command

kiryl,
These errors indicated that the patch is not up-to-date with newer kernel.
I had briefly looked into incorporate the Stora 2.6.38 patch to kernel 3.13.1. Most of the patch are easy to retrofit. Some parts of it, I still have unsolved questions (want to make sure it does not break other machines).

All,
I now have 3 boxes running with that uboot, the 3.10 kernel from https://github.com/kirov/stora-debian-kernel, and bodhi's rootfs
note - he mentions
One thing I've noticed is that it seems to prefer
0x200000 for the uImage
0x800000 for the uInitrd
I can't point to a specific error, but recall an issue regarding running out of space with a large uImage. I was just curious if that seems reasonable.
Also.. I'm using some boot commands from my NSA320 to try direct sata boot.

So far it just results in a screenfull of
Also.. Does anyone know how to get past the registration for this forum? I've been trying to register for a couple of years, but can't seem to get the confirm email to show up. Similarly the password recovery email also never arrives.

It is based on Linux 3.10 (longterm maintenance release) and uses Debian's default config for kirkwood. Unlike johnou's kernel it doesn't include some nice patches but it supports ext4fs and other stuff.

One other thing.. I wonder if there is something mis-coded in my evironmental variables that could make the serial console miss a significant portion of the boot process. I'm used to seeing much more, but now I see a jump straight to "uncompressing linux" I'd hope to see it initialize the usb, etc.

Heychrist,
At u-boot prompt, try to initialize the Sata disk:
ide reset
or
ide init
What do you see?
Also, we should try to conform to Jeff's proven settings for Kirkwood plugs: bootm for uInage is at 0x800000, for uInitrd is at 0x110000 (I might miss a zero or two here:)

Your netconsole is running. Should remove the preboot env.

Your netconsole is running. Should remove the preboot env.

I mentioned above, your u-boot envs need to be defined. This u-boot uses different location. Specifically:
ethaddr
must contains the MAC addr.

Thanks much.. removing preboot return the look and feel I wanted
I did the ide reset, ide init it appears ide init isn't valid.
I pasted the output here

Kirl if it's helpful.. I can add detail to what I did
- built a usb stick with ext2 named rootfs then extracted Bodhi's debian rootfs, change the /etc/fstab to ext2, copy the uImage and Initrd from https://github.com/kirov/stora-debian-kernel,
- from ubuntu 64bit I kwboot the uboot and press any key to stop the boot process I know it could be done post-boot, but I like to get the uboot squared away.
I then paste in my environmental variables above (also on my github)
My mac address is always messed up, so I take it from the label and input that.
From there it should boot the usb.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

About a tons of ide_outb and ide_inb in the boot log: I forgot to remove debug switch so the log got cluttered up with those debug outputs :) so please ignore them. It seems that the SATA drive got initialized correctly with ide reset. That's what I was looking for!

Here is the latest u-Boot build for the Stora:
uboot.2013.10.tld-2.1.netgear_ms2110.bodhi.tar
md5:
25c1df5fd4e9e12526b2e0cae496af7f
This has the same features as the other u-Boot images uploaded here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381
Please test with UART and let me know it's working OK or any problem. Upon positive feedbacks, I will merge the delta patch to GitHub.

Works like a charm!!
I test both sata boot and USB boot. Is there anything else you'd like me to look for?
Here is the sata boot log. With debug turned off it looks MUCH better..
https://github.com/heychris1/netgear-stora-u-boot/blob/master/boot2.txt
Thank you very much.. I have a way of not letting these kinds of things go until they drive me crazy.
I suppose I should let all the guys over at openstora.com know that it's working again?

Heychrist,
Excellent :) Looks like Ext4 rootfs booting works fine too.
Besides Ext4, the feature that most people looking for is: to be able to boot a GPT > 2TB HDD, or a smaller GPT disk. If you don't have a >2TB HDD, you could format a USB thumb/HDD drive as GPT using parted, untar a Stora rootfs on it and boot.
Sure! if you don't find any problem then this is the version we'll keep. As soon as you post back that it's good to go, the patch will be merged and I'll update the u-Boot thread.

Heychrist,
I forgot this. Since stock uBoot defines the envs at a different address (0x40000), when this uBoot image is flashed in serial console, it is OK because you can set the envs manually at the prompt. But if people flash this in Linux, they would have to adjust /etc/fw_env.config and set the envs to boot usb drive before rebooting.
So I guess I could either
1. add these envs into the uBoot code as defaults (this is a better way)
or
2. instruct people who flash this uBoot to take care of the envs properly before rebooting (they will be locked out if the envs are not set to boot USB or SATA).

Re: Is there a newer u-boot for Netgear Stora (RD-88F6281A LE) February 25, 2014 01:54PM |
Bodhi,
Much thanks again. I want to check a couple of things.
1. I have a 2tb drive and want to try GPT. Does it make sense to put the second drive in the second bay and do the following?
Use Gdisk to partition and format drive
copy exisitng rootfs to new drive.
reboot and pull the first drive?
Would you recommend doing a debootstrap to reinstall? I've been looking for a good tutorial if you know of one.
2. I'm trying to recall what my variables looked like when I tftp'd the uboot. It's fairly second nature for me to rewrite the variables, but realize most people wouldn't be as comfortable. This is also why I posted them above. Can you validate that mine are pretty close?
Keeping in mind the mac-address issues, etc.. it's probably better to follow what Jeff did in his uboot script. It takes the mac-address and re-inserts it. as well as some validation checking.
http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh
The variables are handled toward the bottom.

Heychrist,
1. Yes. That's the idea. Use 2nd Hdd or a Usb thumb. But dont copy the live system. Should be a tar back up. Why do you need debootstrap? I thought you already have Stora kernel 3.9.x? But it you want to create a brand new rootfs using debootstrap, look for vlad posts in this forum.
2. Yup. That's why I only provided the uBoot image. It"s definitely not for newb, i.e not automated. Jeff has already done the best job that one can do to automate the installation. If we want to automate, It should be an update of his script.
3. Great! I will refer to your uBoot envs settings. Let me double-check it.

I tried GPT but wasn't able to boot. I'd like to build my own rootFS someday.. in my sparetime. For now...
I used Gdisk to create /dev/sdb1 and a swap sdb2
I formated /dev/sdb1 with mkfs.ext4 and extracted your rootFS. I then copied my /boot/ directory over.

I noticed something else interesting.
I tried loading to a SSD with MBR.
I follow the same steps above. On boot It started, but errored out.
I put another drive in to satisfy the sdb1 that didn't exist by putting the GPT drive back in. It booted up without problem.
There are two slots. The left one is labeled CON1 on the motherboard and CON2 on the left. It seems like it will only label a disk in the right side sdb.
When I put the SSD in the left side, it starts fine.
So it will boot to either slot, but will always call the Right slot sdb.

heychris,
The behavior is expected. With 2 SATA ports, you will need rootfs label to boot, just like for the usb root

usb_root=LABEL=rootfsSo if you label one disk rootfs, and set your bootargs to look for the label, then it will boot correctly. We can't really rely on the drive assignments, since it is unpredictable some of the time (whichever spins up first gets sda1).

I'm trying but I'm having no luck kwboot'ing the new 2014.01 uboot image. I compiled kwboot for i686 from the official u-boot sources. I checked the Stora and its got boot rom version 1.11. Is this even supposed to work? Heychris, how did you get it to work?

kraqh3d,
Simplest way is to use the kwboot I posted in the 1st post

that if you can connect serial cable from another kirkwood plug.

Yeah I'm actually going to give that a go but it should not matter as kwboot is kwboot regardless of what arch its compiled for. The Stora doesn't seem to accept the magic code and all information seems to point toward the problem being due to boot rom 1.11 versus 1.21. When the Stora powers up while kwboot is sending the handshake, it just stalls out. No lights flash or anything. It just does nothing. I expect it'll do the same thing once I rearrange some stuff around here to use another arm box.
Same thing... kwboot just sits at
Sending boot message. Please reboot the target...

Some time you have to ctrl-c and kwboot again for several times before the handshake woks! E.g. The Pogo V4 needs 3 to 20 tries before the handshake occurs.
