Seagate GoFLEX Home won't boot off SATA HDD
March 18, 2018 12:12PM
So, I managed to flash bodhi's uboot on my Seagate GoFLEX Home (from here) and it has no problem to boot off of an external USB memory stick. However, when I attached a SATA HDD (already formatted as an EXT4 filesystem, labeled with rootfs, and contains a root filesystem extracted from linux-4.15.2-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2) to the SATA port, it boots off the SATA port with its LED first flashes as green/yellow and then turns to remain a solid RED. At this point, I can't access it through an SSH login, i.e. no IP Address, etc. Again, it has no problem when boot off of an external USB memory stick even though both USB memory stick and SATA HDD are attached to the device. I also configured it with a netconsole to troubleshoot uBoot without a serial cable. When booting from a SATA HDD, the netconsole output shows it was loading DTB /boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb. However, when booting off of an external USB memory stick, the netconsole output shows it was loading DTB /boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb (see below). I don't know why. Anyway, the fw_printenv dump is shown below and hope it will reveal what the problem is.

habibie,

You did not activate netconsole. These are the relevant uboot envs. 

if_netconsole=ping $serverip
ipaddr=192.168.0.231
preboot_nc=run if_netconsole start_netconsole
serverip=192.168.0.220
start_netconsole=setenv ncip $serverip; setenv bootdelay 10; setenv stdin nc; setenv stdout nc; setenv stderr nc; version;

To activate netconsole, boot with USB and copy/paste this command to execute at Linux shell (to avoid typo, don't retype): 

fw_setenv preboot 'run preboot_nc'

And note the 2 variables (I am going to use 192.168.x.xxx and 192.168.y.yyy below, but they should be replaced with actual number). 

ipaddr=192.168.0.231
serverip=192.168.0.220

serverip is your OpenSuSE Linux desktop IP address. So if it is 192.168.x.xxx, then 
fw_setenv serverip 192.168.x.xxx
ipaddr is the IP you want this GFHome to have. So if it is 192.168.y.yyy, then 
fw_setenv ipaddr 192.168.y.yyy

Start nc on OpenSuSE Linux desktop 
nc -lup 6666 192.168.y.yyy 6666
And power up the GFHome.

Bodhi,

You are right. I fixed the netconsole now. Also, I have updated my OP to include the netconsole output which indicates uboot loads a wrong boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb file when booting off of a SATA HDD. I don't know how this happens.

Remember: there should be only one rootfs in the system. Meaning if you want to boot correctly from the HDD rootfs, you will need to either:

- remove the USB rootfs completely.

- Or to keep the USB drive plugged in as data drive, remove the pertinent information (from the USB) that could mislead u-boot to detect it as a rootfs , and that means a few things:

rootfs partition label, /boot/uImage, /boot/uEnv.txt

Exactly.

When I ONLY have a SATA HDD, uboot somehow loads /boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb instead of /boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb. This puzzles me.

Right now, a quick and dirty hack is to rename the original kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb file to kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb.orig and create a symlink file of kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb from kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb (see below) so my Seagate GoFLEX Home will boot with debian.

Understood. But, that goes to show at least the u-boot and its environment are working. What I don't know is why u-boot loads kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb instead of kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb when booting through a SATA HDD while it loads OK with kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb when booting through a USB memory stick. After all, they both are extracted from the same Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 archive. I am hoping there is a way to fix this issue. Until then, I will temporarily use this quick and dirty hack to test my Seagate GoFLEX Home as a NAS.

habibie,

As I've said above, conflicting info from both USB and HDD rootfs

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,54589,54659#msg-54659

Use one for data and other for rootfs then problem will be gone.

Bodhi,

I now only have a SATA HDD attached sans any USB memory stick, and yet my Seagate GoFLEX Home still loads the kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb instead of the kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb when booting through a SATA HDD. This happens regardless I have the USB memory stick attached or not. So, what you said is not an issue, AFAICT.

OK then post the netconsole bootog for this configuration.

Power up, interrupt console and 

printenv
boot

If you use uEnv.txt then also 

cat /boot/uEnv.txt

Bodhi,

My Seagate GoFLEX Home's netconsole bootlog is shown below and it clearly indicates dtb_file=/boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb. I replaced it with dtb_file=/boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb and now it boots OK. Thank you.

Re: Seagate GoFLEX Home won't boot off SATA HDD

habibie,

Apparently, during u-boot installation, you have missed step 8f.

Quote

8. Flashing default u-boot envs image (if you are upgrading from 2016.05-tld-1 u-boot, you can skip this step 8).

As described in step 1, u-boot envs must be defined in /etc/fw_env.config as

# MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size Number of sectors
/dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000

This default envs image supports booting with multiple disk drives (and hubs) attached. The disk drives could be any type (usb, sata, sd card). The scanning logic and default envs were set to automatically boot the box with the following required configuration:

For whatever reason, if you can't set up your configuration to satisfy the following 4 requirements, then don't flash this defaut envs image. It might not boot properly. In this case, section C below can be used to tailor the envs to your specific configuration.

r1. There must be only one partition among all partitions from all drives that contains the kernel files. The 2 kernel files are /boot/uImage and /boot/uInitrd.
r2. The partition that contains the 2 kernel files must be partition 1 in a disk drive
r3. The partition that contains the rootfs must be labeled rootfs
r4. The rootfs partition is recommended to be type Ext3 (this is not a hard requirement, ext4 should boot OK, but Ext3 will ensure no problem).

So the bottom line is if you have only one rootfs in a single Ext3 partition, which is labeled as rootfs, then you're all set.

a. Download the default u-boot envs at Dropbox:

uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.bodhi.tar
md5:
3823eef10011b864859d31a76470e0e3
sha256:
c8db95a4225e8d78bdaaaa372bd5a87e4b98f3448dd9c62fc96c72b2df1a997c

This tarball includes 3 files:

uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.img (the default envs image to be flashed)
uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment (the content of the default envs in text format)
uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.64K.img (small envs image to be flashed on HP T5325 only).

b. Extract the archive to /tmp
cd /tmp
tar -xf uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.bodhi.tar

c. Save current envs with fw_printenv, or just copy/paste the listing into a text file.
fw_printenv > current_envs.txt

d. Flash u-boot envs to NAND location 0xC0000.

Be extra careful with the next 2 commands, you should see output that look like below. If there is error, then do not reboot, post your problem here so we can help.

/usr/sbin/flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0xc0000 1
Expected output:
Erase Total 1 Units
Performing Flash Erase of length 131072 at offset 0xc0000 done

/usr/sbin/nandwrite -s 786432 /dev/mtd0 uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.img
Expected output:
Writing data to block 6 at offset 0xc0000

e. Modify the following u-boot variables using fw_setenv:

Note that arcNumber and machid are not necessary if you are booting with FDT kernel 3.17+ in the latest kernel and rootfs thread. But it does not hurt to set them anyway.

archNumber and machid are required for non-FDT kernel (3.16.x or earlier)

Also note that only some boxes need machid, some don't (so the command fw_setenv machid below clears them).

for Pogo V4/Mobile:
fw_setenv arcNumber 3960
fw_setenv machid f78

for iConnect:
fw_setenv arcNumber 2870
fw_setenv machid

for Stora:
fw_setenv arcNumber 2743
fw_setenv machid

for Dockstar:
fw_setenv arcNumber 2998
fw_setenv machid

for Pogo E02:
fw_setenv arcNumber 3542
fw_setenv machid dd6

for GoFlex Home:
fw_setenv arcNumber 3338
fw_setenv machid


for GoFlex Net:
fw_setenv arcNumber 3089
fw_setenv machid

for Sheevaplug:
fw_setenv arcNumber 2097
fw_setenv machid

for NSA325:
fw_setenv arcNumber 4495
fw_setenv machid

for NSA320:
fw_setenv arcNumber 3956
fw_setenv machid

for NSA310S/320S:
fw_setenv arcNumber 4931
fw_setenv machid

for NSA310:
fw_setenv arcNumber 4022
fw_setenv machid


Then for all boxes, restore these 2 envs using the saved envs text in step c (replace xxx with the real saved values)
fw_setenv mtdparts 'xxxxxxxxx'
fw_setenv ethaddr 'xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'

Note: for boxes that boot with SATA as rootfs. Please make this adjustment if your boot drive is SATA:
fw_setenv bootcmd_uenv 'run uenv_load; if test $uenv_loaded -eq 1; then run uenv_import; fi; sleep 3'
(This will help the "ide reset" to work properly. There seems to be a bug in u-boot that if you do "ide reset" too quickly in succession, the SATA drive might have problem spinning up).

f. Adjust the DTB name to boot with a rootfs that has FDT kernel 3.17+ (this is the normal case):

Find your box DTB file in the rootfs /boot/dts directory and adjust the env to it. For example, if the box is the Dockstar
fw_setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-dockstar.dtb'

In the special case when you are booting with a non-FDT kernel 3.16 or earlier, or if you have appended the DTB to uImage. Remove the DTB file env. If not sure please post question before continuing.
fw_setenv dtb_file

h. For sanity check, list you envs again
fw_printenv

If there is error in listing u-boot envs, stop here and post your problem so we can help.

Remember to save away your old envs text file created in step c for future reference in case more need to be restored.

i. Done step 8.


9. For sanity check, print out uBoot envs to see if they look OK.
fw_printenv
and then double check the ethaddr env again to be sure. Don't reboot if there is error while listing U-Boot envs.

10. Set up netconsole. It's important to set up neconsole if you don't already have serial console connected. If you have serial console, don't set up netconsole at this moment, because it will interfere with serial console.

If you've flashed the default environments in step 8 then activate netconsole with the following envs:

Adjust 192.168.0.xxx and 192.168.0.yyy below to the real numbers in your network configuration. 192.168.0.xxx is this plug IP address, and 192.168.0.yyy is the IP address of the netconsole server where it will monitor the output from the this plug (adjust them to the real values in your own local network settings).

fw_setenv preboot_nc 'setenv nc_ready 0; for pingstat in 1 2 3 4 5; do; sleep 1; if run if_netconsole; then setenv nc_ready 1; fi; done; if test $nc_ready -eq 1; then run start_netconsole; fi'
fw_setenv preboot 'run preboot_nc'
fw_setenv ipaddr '192.168.0.xxx'
fw_setenv serverip '192.168.0.yyy'


11. Reboot. Upon reboot, in either serial console or netconsole, uBoot banner should show:

U-Boot 2017.07-tld-1 (….)
<your box name>

DONE installation.


So how to fix that.

Boot into Debian (with USB or with your current HDD setup). And set it. 

fw_setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb'

And restore the correct kirkwood-pogo_e02 so that it can be reused if you ever reuse this rootfs for Pogo E02.

Reboot.

Bodhi,

It appears that way. Anyway, when you asked me to post the output of the bootlog, I spotted the culprit and fixed it right the way. Thank you.

Now, I think I am facing some issues with some R/W NFS performance. I need to do more testing on this.
