Thanks Bodhi
I'll check your config After the weekend :)
Have a look to the diff: https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot/compare/v2022.07...ggirou:u-boot:v2022.07-ix4-200d
I set the registers for gpio with the same values from my stock u-boot.

Can you share with me a copy of your complied u-boot and I can give feedback on it too?
I see from the bugzilla report that it could be an issue with certain disks. Maybe my 6Tb are a bit much for this old Nas although all 4 are detected and usable with stock u-boot and bohdis kernel. It's just that stock u-boot does not allow booting from them in gpt

Hi CodeJack, you can download my compiled u-boot here:

Hi Bodhi, drives are only detected on slots 3 and 4. I can list files on it.
Here is the logs:

So that's the same as where I was with version 2022.10-rc3-tld-0.2 in this thread
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,25120,132900#msg-132900
Try kwboot with 2022.10-rc3-tld-0.2 and the mainline Debian kernel. See if you can see and use all 4 disks Debian.

Thanks empgg3.
When I kwboot with you image, none of my disks are found, at least not using the sata init/part commands. They trigger a sting of errors:
If I wait a few seconds and run the same again, these are the errors I get:
There is no scsi command in your u-boot, is that correct? The stock u-boot uses SCSI for slot 3 and 4. So maybe the controllers work differently?

Hi Bodhi,
I was not able to detect any drive with U-Boot 2022.10-rc3-tld-0.2 and I was not able to boot to debian, see logs below.
CodeJack,
Indeed, SCSI command is not enable in my u-boot. Maybe some GPT configs are missing, that's why you got those errors.
I'll try to rebuild u-boot with more config.

I had not complete the settings for GPIOs in that tld-0.2 version, so these memory pokes are needed when you start.

Hi Bodhi,
Sorry, I missed these commands.
I tested again and only disks on slots 3 and 4 work.
I also succeeded to boot with mainline debian kernel and also only slots 3 and 4 work. But there is some errors when I hot plug disk on slot 2, see full logs attached.

Please rename this log to use extension .txt and re-upload (I have problem reading it).

Hi Bodhi,
For my testing, I tested with a SSD and it was correctly detected.
Now, I put a 3.5" HDD, it's not.
Do you think it's a power issue like in this thread: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,96444,96459 ?
How can I find the correct GPIO to enable sata power?

If anyone has had any luck or insight to the ix4-200d (32mb nand, non cloud version) I have been trying to recover to a working unit and I have done so from scratch using USB to TTL and the steps & files in this "tutorial" https://cloudkid.fr/install-iomega-ix4-200-d-firmware/ and have been able to find a ton of links/info/tips etc that has been incredibly hard to sort out.
As far as the HDDs I bough x4 4tb HGST drives only to now discover they cannot be read by the 2.1.44 or 2.1.48 firmware. Tried both MBR and GPT just to see and all I get anytime I plug one in is the unusable disk error icon and it can read the disk size etc but nothing else. Anytime I try to upgrade my ix4-200d to the newest 2.1.50 firmware, which is still posted on https://download.lenovo.com/lenovoemc/na/en/app/answers/detail/a_id/22315.html, its like there's bad code or an error with the firmware package because I get stuck on the "Security" page in the WebUI after all reboots. Attempting to click any tabs or buttons (including trying to hand type 192.168.x.x/home.html) all does nothing but refresh to the same "Security" page. So I try to enter the admin & password and oh yay back to the "security" page again and every time it refreshes the checkbox is unchecked as if I did not enter any security password. Luckily its simple to use the Recovery USB then re-upgrade to 2.1.48 again but uuuugh the time it takes to do anything is killing me.
At least for my ix4-200d there is no power issues, I can put x4 3.5" drives in without problems besides only having two other 3.5" drives to test with (old WD 500gb & 250gb from trashed Macs) and those work fine, I can run the 2.1.48 firmware fine but since I broke my budget just getting all these parts I'm greatly hoping to at least find a way to use the x4 4tb HDDs. My simple plan for this NAS was just to watch my digitized Movie collection offline, anything else would be great but lost all ambition about this devices doing much.
Happy to help test and tinker, I have tons of tabs and notes but its all a mess but I think I have figured out some of the confusion like checking the size of the nand before attempting to update to a 3.0+ firmware as the newer ix4-200d cloud capable models had 64mb of nand.
I will attempt to familiarize myself with this updating of UBOOT, perhaps that will help but uBOOT is all new to me.

hi @bodhi,
after 9 years i managed to get my hands again on a ix4 unit, safed from the trash. can we make it possible to have a more recent uboot with all the bugfixes happened in 15 years.....? im willin to spend time on this.
there seems to be done much work here but no definite outcome so far since i cant see a released uboot in the kirkwood uboot topic?!

It's been a while, I need to orient myself with this u-boot work in progress (tld-0.6), when I have time. If I can find my note then it's easy to continue.
In the mean time try kwboot with tld-0.6 version:
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,25120,132891#msg-132891
And at u-boot prompt, try to check various devices.
Dump the registers first:

Hi Bodhi,
I've NOT found this file
uboot.2017.07-tld-1.ix2-200.mtd0.kwb
to rebuild my bootloader in my Iomega StorCenter IX2-200 NO CLOUD version
ix2-200 DL DL “Desktop Linux” (1st revision 2009) 1st production
ix2-200 NG NG “Next Generation” (next revision) PCB early updated
that is NG with a new frontal panel and two usb rear ports.
Please let me know correct URI to download 'cause with search option I can't found it.
Thanks, best regards.

Lewis65,
There is no uboot.2017.07-tld-1.ix2-200.mtd0.kwb. I have not built new u-boot for this ix2-200 NAS.
If the only difference between ix2-200 and ix4-200 is 2 HDDs vs 4 HDDs, then uboot.2022.10-rc3-tld-0.6.ix4_200d.mtd0.kwb can be used for the ix2-200.
Try running kwboot with uboot.2022.10-rc3-tld-0.6.ix4_200d.mtd0.kwb.
See kwboot example here. After you have successfully kwboot the ix4 u-boot image, post the entire serial console log.

Hi Bodhi,
thanks for you help!

# This Expect script was generated by autoexpect on Fri Feb 27 16:29:28 2026

# 2) differing output - Some programs produce different output each time

1. Which ethernet port the cable is attached to?
If 192.168.0.1 is the router, then the test was wrong. The ipaddr is the IP for this box. Set it to some number that you know is not currently not assigned in the network. For example,
2. I expect at leat one HDD is active. Can you test the currently empty SATA slot?
3. Is there a USB drive attached to any of the ports?
In any case, I forgot to configure the dm command, so will make another build.
I also need to see the stock boot log, not sure if it's already in this thread.

i tested port 1 and 2
the ip is the boxes IP and the ping should work to the local ip, too.
there is a very different network on the ethernet which is a vlan that blocks access without registration (corporate network). it was just connected for "link up" purposes
i already switched to openwrt but i posted the orig bootlog in the openwrt wiki: https://openwrt.org/toh/iomega/ix4-200d#original_iomega_bootlog
i can test the empty slot tomorrow. maybe i´ll find an usb stick, too.

the solution for this is quiet easy: stop/cancel the kwboot process. restart the kwboot process!
now with an attached USB stick:
but no sata. even when i replug the hdd to the last unused port.
ok, eth port 2 IS working! port 1 is not.

It's the ethact env that controls which ethernet port is being used.

The fact that you had to do a ping a second time to get ethernet, I think the ARP time out is too short.

It's the ethact env that controls which ethernet port is being used.
printenv ethactIf ethact=egiga0, change it to egiga1 (and vice versa),
setenv ethact egiga1And then switch the ethernet cable to the other port, and ping the router. I expect the ethernet-controller@76000 will be used.

Attached here is the new u-boot for ix4-200d.
uboot.2025.10-tld-1.ix4_200d.bodhi.260303.tar
This tarball contains 4 files
From another Linux box, connect serial console to this NAS, and use kwboot to load and run the kwb image.
After u-boot started, interrupt the countdown, dump the registers and check various devices
Note: each Ethernet test needs the cable connected to the right port (egiga0, or egiga1). And repeat the ping a couple times to be sure.
