broken uboot?

I have a GoFlex home. I had everything working including rescue boot. After upgrading via this: https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 I can no longer completely boot to disk, usb, or rescue. Usb or rescue wont boot at all and hdd boots to kernel panic

I think I broke something.

This is archlinux on HDD

I have a feeling I am missing the label on the HDD SDA1 partition, but thats just a guess. Im not sure how to confirm or fix. The GFH seems to ignore booting from usb (but does recognize its there).

This is a fresh OS install, so I dont mind wiping it. But how do I get back to either rescue or some linux cli to do that?

Thanks

Yes, kind of. U-Boot 2017.07-tld-1 envs will not boot Arch Linux out of the box. You need to modify some envs.

Notice that it only loads uImage. This is how Arch Linux ARM kernel runs.

This error was because the rootfs was loaded the Debian way (with a rootfs label that uInitrd will handle correctly). The label rootfs tells the kernel how to find the rootfs partition.

With the HDD contains a single partition (sda1) that has Arch Linux rootfs on it. Power up, interrupt serial console, and

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params'
boot

After you booted in to Arch again, you can either:

1. set this permanently. But it will limit your option later to have multiple drives plugged in during boot.
or
2. find the uInitrd for Arch (at Arch site), put it inside the /boot folder, label the rootfs partition, and will be able keep the env set_bootargs unchanged. This is the recommended approach. It will allow yoy to have multiple drives plugged in during boot (as many as you want).

Thanks that did it!!!!!

My ultimate goal is to get to debian on the GFH. Now that I can boot, should I just wipe sda1 partition, create a new one, and unzip Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 to sda1?

Also, do you have a recommendation on getting the rescue boot back? It was handy, but not super important if it will cause an issue with installing debian (since its archlinux).

Yes. But I would either use a different drive, or backup this. It is much easier if you have a rootfs that you can boot with when something went wrong.

This is a little bit more works, because it is ALARM rescue system. I have not looked into how to make that coexist with the current envs for this 2017.07-tld-1 u-boot. Of course if there are many requests then I could do that.

Great, thanks! I'll give the debian usb another shot then so I can install to hdd from there.

Any tricks to get the usb to boot? I've tried ext 2,3,4 all formatted from ubuntu and then labelled patition rootfs. The usb just get ignored.

Out of curiosity, can I dual boot, with debian as default?

No tricks! you need to follow the instruction verbatim. If you have do something different on Ubuntu to substitue for anything in the instruction then most likely it will not work. In that case, you can post question here to see if it is actually equivalent. And keep the entire log of how you create the USB rootfs and post here if needed, too.

Last quesrion, if I stick with arch, how do I fix the env string? I assume rescue is still there but has the same issue as hdd. How can I fix both so I can boot arch rescue or arch hdd?

gigaguy,

As I posted above, there are 2 different options:

Quote

With the HDD contains a single partition (sda1) that has Arch Linux rootfs on it. Power up, interrupt serial console, and

setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params'
boot

After you booted in to Arch again, you can either:

1. set this permanently. But it will limit your option later to have multiple drives plugged in during boot.
or
2. find the uInitrd for Arch (at Arch site), put it inside the /boot folder, label the rootfs partition, and will be able keep the env set_bootargs unchanged. This is the recommended approach. It will allow yoy to have multiple drives plugged in during boot (as many as you want).

- If you go with number 1, then set it permanently inside Arch:

fw_setenv set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params'

- If you go with number 2, then no need to change the envs. With uInitrd in /boot, this u-boot will boot it correctly, and find the partition with rootfs label.

Follow-up question - can I put almost any (most) of the setenv vars in uEnv.txt?

Yes. Most of the envs will work when specifying in uEnv.txt. Envs such as bootcmd and bootcmd_uenv cannot be redefined in uEnv.txt.

For example, to redefine bootargs, put this in uEnv.txt:

set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params

thanks for all that you do, bodhi!

i would like to +1 on that arch uboot + arch rescue + debian rootfs... this would be great to have as the arch rescue is pretty noob friendly (for people like myself :) )..

whenever you are able to.. thanks! i just tried with the latest arch uboot + https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,23727 and was not able to boot the latest debian ext3 rootfs.. since i do not have serial and the netconsole is showing only the uboot messages (once kernel loads, no more messages on the default 10.10.10.4 ip even when booting from the arch rescue.. but thats for another day), i cant troubleshoot! so i will wait until you've had a chance to adjust uboot/uenv..

yeehaa,

Try this test.

With the USB unplugged, power up and interrupt serial console, copy/paste and execute each command at the prompt:

setenv bootcmd 'run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; run arch_rescue'
setenv bootcmd_exec 'if run load_uimage; then; if run load_initrd; then if run load_dtb; then bootm $load_uimage_addr $load_initrd_addr $load_dtb_addr; else bootm $load_uimage_addr $load_initrd_addr; fi; else if run load_dtb; then bootm $load_uimage_addr - $load_dtb_addr; else bootm $load_uimage_addr; fi; fi; fi'
setenv arch_rescue 'echo Trying to boot from NAND ...; setenv arch_dtb_file "/boot/dtbs/kirkwood-pogoplugv4.dtb"; setenv arch_mountubi "ubi part rootfs; ubifsmount ubi0:rootfs"; setenv arch_loadaddr "0x810000"; setenv arch_fdtaddr "0x800000"; setenv arch_console "ttyS0,115200"; setenv arch_mtdparts "mtdparts=orion_nand:1M(u-boot),-(rootfs)"; if run arch_mountubi; then ubifsload ${arch_loadaddr} /boot/zImage;ubifsload ${arch_fdtaddr} ${arch_dtb_file}; ubifsumount; setenv bootargs console=${arch_console} ubi.mtd=1 root=ubi0:rootfs ro rootfstype=ubifs  rootwait ${arch_mtdparts};bootz ${arch_loadaddr} - ${arch_fdtaddr};fi'

and then try booting

thanks bodhi.. please see "since i do not have serial and the netconsole is showing only the uboot messages (once kernel loads, no more messages on the default 10.10.10.4 ip even when booting from the arch rescue"..
i've ordered a serial cable.. hopefully will be here in a couple of weeks..

in the mean time, i will try this from the netconsole and report back

Right. You need to set it up further to see anything more on netconsole after the kernel started. See:

Yes, netconsole is enough to test this rescue boot.

seems like the third command doesnt execute fully.. some setenv restriction?

the first two executed correctly..

Please post the full boot log.

That might be because you add envs and did not save it. It is normal.

However, the full boot log would show if the Arch rescue system has set some of your envs or not.

sorry for not being detailed in my previous message.. please note that after i execute the 3rd command, i lose the "Pogoplugv4>" prompt..it drops me down to a ">" prompt which just echoes the commands that i run afterwords without executing them.. so the pogoplug would not take the boot command.. it sits there with the blinking green light until i reset power..

you mentioned that i need to save the env somehow? how do i do that? i assumed, the setenv commands "Sets" the environment.. similar to fw_setenv from within the OS.. would it help if i boot into the rescue system, apply these three commands using fw_setenv and then reboot?


after a reset, i interrupted the boot again and ran just the first two commands.. which shows that the first and second commands are executing correctly.. the third one is the problem..

Well, it is too long for setenv command in uboot. Just try to boot into debian and use fw_setenv instead. Problem solved. :P

Similar things happened to me before.

@yeehaa,

Let me rewrite it for you.

Do not use saveenv or fw_setenv until it has been tested to work in all cases! you'll risk locking yourself out until you can install serial console!

@david, bad advice :)

With the USB unplugged, power up and interrupt netconsole, copy/paste and execute each command at the prompt:

also.. do you happen to know why i'm not getting the kernel boot log? the ip is set correctly in the uboot env, but i dont get any messages in the terminal window for kernel log..

yeehaa,

I am assuming you're running my released u-boot, but apparently you are running Arch u-boot :) That's why there were some envs error.

What you should do is booting into Debian, and install u-boot

I've uploaded 2017.07-tld-1 U-Boot images for Pogo E02, GoFlexNet, GoFlex Home, Dockstar, Pogo V4/Mobile, iConnect, Netgear Stora, Sheevaplug, NSA320, NSA325, NSA310S/320S, NSA310, HP-T5325, and Dreamplug.

And then test the envs that I've posted above.

As of right now, even though it is booting into NAND rescue, the envs setting I wrote is not a final adjustment that you should use for Arch u-boot.

If you prefer to use Arch u-boot, then the envs setup to boot Arch rescue should already have been set up with Arch installation procedure. So you should check at Arch site how to rerun the installation for Arch rescue.

Netconsole needs further set up so you can see the kernel log. It is normal that it stopped outputs after "Starting kernel...".

See here for how to set it up in Debian:

ok.. i may have confused the hell out of you.. here is what i did on this pogo plug mobile.. i have the arch rescue on the mtd1 partition.. i went ahead and flashed your uboot and uboot envs to mtd0 as per the thread you linked.. then....

Starting kernel ...

so the commands you wrote seemed to have worked to boot arch rescue from your uboot.. now how do i make this permanent? once made permanent, i would like to boot to debian on usb and fall back to arch rescue in case no usb is attached.. also just so that there is no confusion, this will all be on a pogo mobile with your uboot on it..

thanks again for all your help!
