GoFlex Home failed install

Hi! I am new here and new at hacking my Goflex home. I tried to update to ArchLinux but at the end I did the reboot and only got a green flashing light. I have done some other things so I don't really know where I am at. I have a serial connection and am attaching a log. I have tried to Uart boot through the serial connection but I immediately get an +xmodem protocol error. Any assistance would be appreciated!

I got that many times when first starting... it could be an intermittent fault or a bad connection. I have several of these units with different connections. When you get the serial connection set up, do you see the unit trying to boot up?
...oops, just saw the log so you obviously can.

Are you trying to use kwboot?

Here is one of my posts when I was having problems - you may be able to glean something from it.

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,79004,79104

I have tried kwboot with just the serial connection and no hard drive and I get a +modem protocol error. It does boot up to a Marvell>> prompt but I am not sure what I can fix from there? The other thing I noticed is that there is only one MTD partition and I think there should be more. I have tried to make a bootable usb thinking I could try and do a reinstall from there but it seems like it is not recognizing the USB port.

Your box is OK. It booted to the u-boot prompt like that then it means the rootfs was not prepared correctly, or the envs are not set up to boot with your USB rootfs. There is no need to run kwboot.

At this point the easiest thing to do is to boot with Debian rootfs. The envs seem to be all OK. And you are running Jeff's 2010.09 u-boot

U-Boot 2010.09 (Feb 16 2011 - 18:42:02)
UBIT v0.6 by Jeff Doozan and Peter Carmichael

On another Linux box, create the Debian rootfs using a USB flash drive. See the release thread:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Updated 25 Aug 2019:

Basic Debian buster Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs:

- tarball size: 209M
- install size: 536M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see note 2 below.
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, dialog, bzip2, nfs server/client, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, sysvinit-utils, u-boot-tools, and mtd-utils.
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/init.d/halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root

Follow the instruction very closely, and create the rootfs. Since you are running with old u-boot you need to do Step 4

Quote

4. Create uImage with embedded DTB for booting with older u-boots (2012 or earlier). Do not do this step if you have installed the latest U-Boot for Kirkwood (or are installing this u-boot at the same time).

Please replace kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb below with the correct DTB name for your box (see the folder /media/sdb1/boot/dts for the exact spelling of your Kirkwood box name).

Generate the uImage with DTB embedded inside:
cd /media/sdb1/boot
cp -a zImage-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt
cat dts/kirkwood-goflexnet.dtb >> zImage.fdt
mv uImage uImage.orig
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 -d zImage.fdt uImage
sync

After that just bring the USB drive back to this box, attach it, and power up.

Please post the entire serial console log here. I expect a few envs adjustment will be needed at serial console prompt to get it boot all the way into Debian.

Great! Thanks! I just got a 3T hard drive to replace the original one. Will I need to update the u-boot? Here is the output:

Your USB drive is not recognized by u-boot. What type, and brand, capacity is this drive?

It is an 8 gig Sandisk formatted in one full primary partition ext3. I’m pretty sure the boot flag is enabled but I’ll double check that. It is labeled as roots.

Wipe the partition table. And then create new one, make sure that it is MBR table. Format, extract the tarball as root. And sync. And create new uImage.

If still not working then we'll try kwboot.

Sorry! Still no luck with the USB boot! I used gparted as root to write a new mbr and add a new ext3 formatted partition. I have tried kwboot and didn't have much luck there either. But I will try again if that is the next step. Here are the results:

So it did not find you USB drive.

I would use fdisk in command line to wipe partition table and recreate. gparted is too new for this u-boot. Give it one last shot before we try kwboot.

I have not seen any GFHome that does not work with UART booting (only some GFNet has problem with kwboot).

Well, I have tried several tools to format the USB stick all with the same result. The stick is just not recognized. I will try the kwboot again. Could you point me in the right direction for the files I need. I have spent several hours going from link to link trying to find how to do the boot over UART but so for have been unable to find directions and files. Thanks!

Great! Thanks for the links! Well, some success I think. I kept getting modem errors on the kwboot. I disconnected another USB drive and reset the USB connection to the GoFlex Home and then it seemed to work. It looks like I have more work to do though. Here are the results:

Great! now you are ready to boot with Debian USB.

Create the rootfs on USB using Debian-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 from the release thread. Follow the instruction very closely.

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096

Updated 25 Aug 2019:

Basic Debian buster Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs:

- tarball size: 209M
- install size: 536M
- The init system used in this rootfs is sysvinit . To boot with systemd, see note 2 below.
- Installed packages: nano, avahi, ntp, busybox-syslogd (log to RAM), htop, isc-dhcp-client, dialog, bzip2, nfs server/client, iperf, ethtool, sysvinit-core, sysvinit, sysvinit-utils, u-boot-tools, and mtd-utils.
- see LED controls in /etc/rc.local, and /etc/init.d/halt
- see some useful aliases in /root/.profile
- root password: root

And don't do Step 4 since you are booting with the new u-boot.

After that, plug in the USB drive. Run kwboot again, let it boot.

And post the entire serial console log here in code tags. You can cut out the kwboot loading progress output (10% to 80%) to make the log shorter.

If I hit a key at the first chance I get to stop the autoboot, I get a goflexhome> prompt. I tried start usb and usbboot but they didn't work. I formatted the USB stick with ext4 and extracted the Debian file onto it. Did I need to do anything like load sysvinit or some bootloader? I remember back in the DOS floppy days, we had to run something to make the disk bootable. I did try several usb sticks at the prompt and it didn't looks like it recognized any of them. Maybe the USB port is shot? Although on some sticks, I see an led flash in the stick. Could i do the same on a hard drive and get it to boot?

Don't use Ext4. Use Ext3 to format the USB.

Ext4 is a little bit tricky because most of the Linux distros assume the drive is going to be used on that system, and so it is not finalized immediately. So while Ext4 will work with the new u-boot, you would have to be aware of its shortcoming and always finalize the formatting before removing it.

OK. I went back to ext2 and tried again:

OK. I formatted a hard drive as ext3 and connected it to the USB port through an adapter. It did not work. I then plugged the hard drive directly into the SATA port on the GoFlex Home and success! Now what? Has my GoFlex Home been updated so i don't need the serial boot anymore? Since this hard drive is not my permanent hard drive, how should I format my permanent one? Do I still need files on the hard drive to boot? I am pretty excited that we have gotten this far! Thanks for all your help!

Cool!

Not done yet. You have run the new u-boot by loading it trough serial port. Now you need to install the new u-boot to NAND. Complete 11 steps in the instruction:

https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381

Hints: Since the instruction was written for all Kirkwood boxes, if it seems too much words, copy the entire instruction to a note pad and highlight the commands that you know you need to execute for GoFlex Home.

Yes.

You can copy the entire rootfs and have a backup saved while you are doing that. See the Wiki thread:

Hey! Thanks for all the help so far! I followed the directions you gave me and have a 2.5" 80G hard drive that boots fine into Debian. I am trying to 'TAR' over the files from that drive to a 3T drive and am having difficulty. I have a couple of questions about the log that is generated.

1. WARNING: Caches not enabled - Is this something to be concerned about? How to enable?
2. Using egiga0 device - Does this mean that it could boot over ethernet? How could I set that up?
3. ping failed; host 192.168.62.121 is not alive - How can I change this IP address? What is it looking for?
4. Unknown command 'mmc' - try 'help' - Why am I getting this error?
5. bad MBR sector signature 0x0000 - I have tried this a few different ways. How do I fix this?
6. Reset IDE: Bus 0: OK Bus 1: not available - What does this mean by Bus not available? Should it be?
7. Wrong Image Format for bootm command - How do I fix this?
8. Lastly, How can I set a fixed IP address for the GoFlex Home unit?

Thanks again!

1. WARNING: Caches not enabled - Is this something to be concerned about? How to enable?

No worry.

2. Using egiga0 device - Does this mean that it could boot over ethernet? How could I set that up?

Not over the ethernet. It is simply a network status. So you can choose to load the kernel using tftp, or connect with netconsole server.

3. ping failed; host 192.168.62.121 is not alive - How can I change this IP address? What is it looking for?

The ping in the envs setup is trying to find the serverip. It is used in netconsole, or tftp. So apparently you have set 192.168.62.121 to serverip while installing uboot.

serverip=192.168.62.121

You need to set ipaddr to this box IP (choose a static IP that is appropriate for your network). 192.168.0.231 is the default value that I used in the envs (which is not relevant during booting, unless you have setup netconsole).

ipaddr=192.168.0.231

4. Unknown command 'mmc' - try 'help' - Why am I getting this error?

It is in the envs. For box that has SD card. Ignore this error, it is normal. You can turn off MMC later.

5. bad MBR sector signature 0x0000 - I have tried this a few different ways. How do I fix this?

It means you have not create the partition correctly in your USB or HDD. Wipe out the partition table with fdisk, and recreate the partition.

6. Reset IDE: Bus 0: OK Bus 1: not available - What does this mean by Bus not available? Should it be?

Meaning it did not find any HDD attached to bus 1 (SATA port 1). But it did for bus 0 (SATA port 0).

7. Wrong Image Format for bootm command - How do I fix this?

This error is the last thing u-boot tried. Ignore this error. The real error is that you did not prepare the HDD rootfs correctly.

8. Lastly, How can I set a fixed IP address for the GoFlex Home unit?

It is the u-boot env ipaddr. Or later after you have booted into Debian, you can set it inside the rootfs /etc/network/interfaces.

=====

The error in booting HDD rootfs is:

Scan device ide

Reset IDE: Bus 0: OK Bus 1: not available  
  Device 0: Model: ST3000VN007-2E4166 Firm: SC60 Ser#: Z731JGQ7
            Type: Hard Disk

** Unrecognized filesystem type **
device ide 1:1
** Bad device ide 1 **
device ide 2:1
** Bad device ide 2 **
device ide 3:1
** Bad device ide 3 **

The log above means you have not prepared the HDD correctly. Note the previous error:

1	256       	5120000   	0781bcb2-01	83 Boot
  2	5120256   	1024000   	0781bcb2-02	82
  3	6144256   	726422272 	0781bcb2-03	05 Extd
bad MBR sector signature 0x0000

So mount this on another Linux box, or boot this box with USB and plug in the HDD.

And then use fdisk to erase all partitions, create 1 partition as the instruction stated in Step 1. Format it with Ext3. Extract the rootfs to it, while being root user.
