Uboot 2017 - Goflex home won't boot
September 27, 2018 09:55PM
Hello,
I have goflex home and a running lastest version of archlinuxarm here http://os.archlinuxarm.org/os/ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz
But after i installed your uboot - https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 it not able to boot to ALARM again.

I also tried to create uInitrd
Quote

cd /media/sdb1/boot
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-linux.img-2018-04-arch -d initramfs-linux.img uInitrd
sync
https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,56939,58944

I also tried with Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 but no lucks

Here are bot console logs
For ALARM

as247,

You've set this env to the wrong path for the Debian rootfs:

Quote

dtb_file=/boot/dtbs/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb

With the Debian rootfs attached. Power up, Interrupt netconsole at countdown. 

> Hit any key to stop autoboot:  0

And set it 
setenv dtb_file '/boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb'
And then boot 
boot

Thank bodhi, it works now.
I set dtb_file to /boot/dtbs/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb because i want to boot to ALARM, so i kept that old env.

There is another question that, as you can see in above logs .uEnv.txt doesn't load from ide (ssd device)

** Bad device usb 0 **
Anyway to tell u-boot to load .uEnv.txt from ide as well if usb is not plugged in?

Thank you so much!

Somebody has mentioned this is possibly a problem. I have not looked into that yet.

Could you search the forum? I can't find that recent conversation :) I need to record that potential issue in my note for the next u-boot release, if it is indeed a problem.

It's hard to find, there are too many posts
But it should be an issue, it always show "scanning bus 0 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found " either USB plugged in or not

Nope. That's the USB hub. It counts as a device. When you plug in a USB drive, it will report as another USB storage device.

But i have no usb hub plugged in, is that internal hub? I have only ssd disk on sata port, nothing else

Oh I see, does that mean IDE/Sata port is divided from usb 2.0 hub? My SSD is speed limited around 50MB/s seem it matches USB 2.0 max speed :(

No, they are on separate bus.

as247,

It looks normal to me. So I am not sure about your SSD speed problem. I have an old SATA HHD (Seagate) and my dd write speed test is about 48MB/s. 

[    8.077630] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl F300)

Re loading uEnv.txt from IDE, I will look into this to see if it is a real problem before the next u-boot release. This is an separate u-boot issue, not related to the SSD or HDD.

Thank you so much Bodhi, I will wait for next U-boot release. And I hope that you can make it boot from first partition without need to set label "rootfs"

See the expanation why rootfs label is needed (It is quite easy to set up booting wihtout label rootfs if you choose to do so, but you should not):

Ah, I understood now.
Kernel load is a difference process, it uses boot args for initial and it does't know about OS root location itself, must be set from boot args
By this way we also can separate kernel and rootfs into 2 difference partitions

So boot loader will find kernel and tell kernel how to boot.

There is no standard for kernel name and kernel args, so it's hard to make u-boot to boot any compatible os. uEnv.txt is trying to help that out by customize boot process, unfortunately it's not working with sata now (at least with me)

When i check my old env, i also found why it cannot boot into ALARM
Quote

root=/dev/sd${letter}1 rw rootwait ${mtdparts}
seem ALARM kernel doesn't understand root LABEL, and we must set it using device eg: /dev/sda1

And for Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 I think it can be work fine with multiple partitions as above process. I can have 20GB partition for system and the rest for DATA.
Your guide for Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 confused me that we must have single partition. For USB it's fine, but for 1-3TB disk single partition doesn't make sense

ALARM does not use initramfs (i.e. uInitrd) as a default. So you would need to do an extra step with ALARM to create that kernel file. After that, rootfs label will work.

Again, you've got the exact reason why I wrote the instruction to require a single Ext3 partition. This will ensure you can boot with any u-boot version since 2009. And then when your configuration is more complicate, you would tailor it to use multiple partitions.

The requirement is your /boot must be on 1st partition, and that partition must be Ext2/Ext3 type. And your rootfs partition must be labeled rootfs. However, because the assumption is that most users are not familiar with embedded Linux, so the instruction is made to be as simple as possible. Any deviation from that instruction, users must know what he/she doing.
