To use the the label based function you need an initrd. The kernel needs to know where to find root via a device, it cannot scan for labels, UUIDs, etc. By using an initrd you present a temporary rootfs the kernel can attach to, along with enough userland tools to do fancy volume searches based on UUID, labels, etc, and to then REMOUNT root and continue booting.
Because Arch ARM doesn't use an initrd, this path isn't available to it. You can however setup uboot manually to boot whatever drive layout you want statically, or define multiple boot scenarios and wait for the user to choose the one they want at powerup assuming they have working console access.

Hi,
I've bought an Iomega iConnect. I installed an Debian whezzy with this description http://www.kroonen.eu/wiki/Install%20Debian%202 and the system is running very well.
But one Problem is still there, when i connect the USB-device with the debian installed, and e.g. 2 external hard disks to the iConnect, it is searching for the rootfs for a while and then it starts from nand.
the USB-Device is labeled "rootfs", it is in the first usb-slot and without the other disks connected, the system will start from this.
The only thing i want is the ability to restart the iConnect with all disks connected and it starts into the debian system.
I have read ths thread more then 3 times, but i dont know where i have to change the settings ( or include the necessary phrases)
when you have a look at the code below, you will see my first try fix this issue at the end of the logs.
furthermore i didn't change anything. I hope you can help me

The rootfs label approach is described here:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,8044,8152#msg-8152
Basically, rootfs label environment variable will tell uBoot to find the USB drive with that label and use that for booting. So does not matter how many drives are connected to the box, it will use the correct drive for rootfs, as long as it's the only drive with that specific label.

thank you for your fast feedback.
I unterstand the need of labeling the usb-device.
Now all i need is to know, in which argument and how i have to insert this phrase. I find there no argument usb_init or something else, thats fitts that way.
well, i know and see at the last 20 lines in the code posted by myself above there is the usb-initiation, but i dont know which one i have to change.
Can you give me a hint
thanks

The 2nd block of code is the full listing of uBoot envs on one of my plugs.
The 1st block of code is the list of the relevant uBoot envs in reversed order of variable assigments (backward from the bootcmd). It would be obvious what need to be changed when we substitue the value of each variable.
The crucial point here is the execution order ensures that the content of the variable usb_root is passed as an argument into the kernel correctly.
run usb_scan; setenv usb_root LABEL=rootfs

run usb_set_bootargs

solidplanet,
If you don't have serial console to the Iconnect, I'd recommend that you set up netconsole first before changing uBoot envs. Because you could get locked out of the box with uBoot envs problem, and will have to resort to serial console. See this thread for instruction: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14

well, here are my resent changes:
neither i tested the ncip console, nor the new startup

You netconsole setup looks good. If these are true:
serverip is the ip address of your desktop (where you want to monitor and interact with netconsole)
ipaddr is the ip address of the iConnect
192.168.0.x is your LAN

When you boot Debian, the uBoot image is /boot/uImage, so only bootcmd_usb_9 is needed.
> bootcmd=run bootcmd_usb2;run bootcmd_usb1; run flash_load
I could not tell if this works or not. The suggestions above only to point out the errors in the modified uBoot envs. As usual, the warning is: if this does not work, it could lock you out of the box, and serial console will be needed. If you could not boot in to Debian, and your netconsole does work, then you can recover without serial console. So please do so at your own risk :)
Addendum:
I think we are too far out of topic in this thread, please create another thread for Iomega iConnect.

You could use SATA for boot drive in a multiple drive configuration. You don't even have to use Warhead's method to bypass uBoot with SATA, just put the rootfs on a SATA drive in an eSATA enclosure, and connect it with SATA to eSATA cable.
The PogoPro is quite easy to open, plug in the cable, route it through the gap at the bottom front.

Hi,
are you still searching for solutions?
Just came across after setting it up for me and writing it down. I am booting from stick only. It shouldn't be that hard to manage the behavior from 1st post.

shyd,
thanks for sharing, but I believe that your solution is inferior to the one using LABEL which has been discussed all over the place here in this forum (for a complete printenv of the uBoot with usb_scan see, e.g, my post). The LABEL solution as well as yours (I believe) both come with a price tag: since this relies on Initrd and not just uImage, you cannot boot Archlinux with it (see here).
Or, does your solution using UUID have any other advantage which I can't see? To me, the LABEL solution leaves the option to use another key or external HDD with just the same label, which I find considerably more easy.
Cheers,
chessplayer

chessplayer,
you are absolutely right. Yesterday I made these things work for my goflex on my own. After writing the article I noticed what is going on here. Using UUIDs would make sense if you have two drives with the same label attached.
After reading through it makes more sense to use a disk's label. Especially if you need to use a backup drive.
Thanks for the hint!
cheers

I have set up my goflex net to boot from label rootfs. I have set up a partition on the SATA, copied the rootfs from the sub stick onto, set the bootable flag, and labeled it rootfs, but it still doesnt boot up from the SATA drive. My goal is to have set this up so it can boot from both usb or SATA if the partition is labeled rootfs. Preferably it should boot from usb stick if both are present, but thats not so important.
I have the following configuration, is there something I need to change to make this work as I want?

Serial console is highly recommended. Once you can boot UART with kwboot, then everything is quite safe!

Doing the flashing by your instructions now. Doing it from SSH, I didnt wait long enaugh to see your serial console advice, I hope this will still be ok.
In my case I got an error at making the nanddump backup (nanddump: command not found)
But after doing "apt-get install mtd-utils" it was ok.
But at 6. I get a slightly different output than you wrote:
#flash_erase /dev/mtd0 0 4
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 60000 -- 100 % complete
But I guess that in reality this is the same as in your example, but my uboot version gives a slightly different format on the output.
So I did continue with flashing:
# nandwrite /dev/mtd0 uboot.2014.07-tld-2.goflexnet.mtd0.kwb
Writing data to block 0 at offset 0x0
Writing data to block 1 at offset 0x20000
Writing data to block 2 at offset 0x40000
Writing data to block 3 at offset 0x60000
So far so good. A brief look at the output from fw_printenv does look like its still the same as before.
I havent rebooted yet. I have a question regarding the netconsole setup, ref 10. in your guide.
Does the ip settings here only count for if you want to use netconsole, and the IP adress for debian itself will still use DHCP?
My reason for asking is that I have it connected to one machine right now, that use IP-range 192.168.231.x
Later I will connect it to my router, which have a different IP range (192.168.1.x)
What I asume is that I can set the netconsole ip to anything I want, as long as I remember those ip settings. And if needed I can connect it directly to a computer by setting the computer network card to the server IP.
And if I boot it up normally, connected to my router, it will get assigned a different ip adress.
Is this asumption correct?

Yes, indeed.

All correct! netconsole ipaddr will be irrelevant once Debian starts. u-boot actually stops the network before starting the kernel. For convenience, usually we set a static IP in Linux to be the same one. So it seems to be continuous (in reality it is not), if Debian is set up for netconsole also.

All done updating then.
Do I need to make any changes to make it boot from SATA?
It still does not boot from my SATA hdd.
I did make a 5G ext3 partition on the disk, made it bootable, labeled it rootfs, copied everything from the usb stick onto it, second partition is 512MB swap, and the third is EXT4 with the rest of the disk space.
It boots fine with usb attached, as before.
I tried to connect to netconsole (having a windows pc, trying the NetCat program), but I didnt make it to connect.
Havent tried serial console yet, but I can try that if needed.
