Hello,
I tried to do the initial install of the NSA325 with linux-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld and rootfs.
I head a powerloss before the reboot.

Status:
Since there is a lot of awesome information in this forum (thank you guys, thank you bodhi) I got it nearly working.
Booted with kwboot, restored Environment with uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.src and adjusted it to my environment.
USB Stick is an ext3 Corsair Survivor 16GB (USB3) labeled as rootfs (I tried also with a noname usb2.0 8GB stick).

Problem:
While booting debian it gives a kernel panic and is not finding root ?!
I think the relevant output is:
...

Previous to the powerloss I mad a backup of /fw_env.config and proc_mtd:

# MTD device name       Device offset   Env. size       Flash sector size       Number of sectors

# cat /vb_backup/proc_mtd

mtd7: 00a00000 00020000 "kernel_2"
mtd8: 02fc0000 00020000 "rootfs2"


now I see, that I didn't change the arc number after restoring the environment. Could that be the problem?
I tried many different thing. I don't know, why it cant find "root"


Thank you for every hint that leads me in the right direction

Re: NSA325 - kernel panic, Cannot open root device "(null)" (powerloss while initial install)
January 01, 2019 05:04AM
elisdg,

Your envs look fine. Only some minor adjustment needed (which should not effect booting). But the power loss has apparently corrupted the rootfs.

Unplug the rootfs and mount it on another Linux box and fix the errors. Assuming the USB drive is assigned /dev/sdb1 and mount at /media/sdb1.

Fix file system error

umount  /media/sdb1
e2fsck /dev/sdb1
sync

Mount it and check the relevant files

mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
ls -lart /media/sdb1/boot

And then if all checked out OK.

sync

And unmount the drive and remove it, bring it back to the NS325. Power up. Capture the entire serial console log , if you have serial console, and post here.

Thank you!! I don't know why, but now it works, after running:
e2fsck -f /dev/sdb1
... as you advised and Step 4 again (Generate the uImage with DTB embedded inside...).
Beforehand I created the USB Stick multiple times, following the guide.

I wonder, because e2fsck didn't really say, that it had to repair something.

But as a sidenode:
At first e2fsck said:
fsck e2fsck: Cannot continue, aborting
... although I proved, that the drive was NOT mounted or anything. I found a thread where someone states, that there could be a problem with udev and mdadm.

I didn't found mdadm on my machine, but I just disabled "udev" for a try (service stop udev) and after that:
- e2fsck was executed successfully
- the NSA325 was able to boot into debian

(I'm just writing that, for future reference)

Thank you, again!

oh no, the problem still exists, its strange...

when I do:
cat dts/kirkwood-nsa325.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
... while preparing the boot-directory I get the error I described above

But when I do:
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb  >> zImage.fdt
... the NSA325 is starting and I can login BUT network is not working.

ok, now it works.

oh man ... X)

I missed the "skip"-part in "4. Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier). Skip this step if you have installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood (or are installing this u-boot at the same time)"

I forgot, that while troubleshooting the powerloss with kwboot, I installed the latest bootloader X)

So, now I freshly copied the files from the boot-directory of the tar archive into the the boot-stick and all seems fine at the moment


thanks again, and awesome new year!

It's a common mis-step coming from stock u-boot to new u-boot!
