Have a stock Dockstar. Had a very old U-Boot. Decide to update it before making any changes, no usb boot disk or anything.

Followed http://projects.doozan.com/uboot/ rebooted, worked.

Then followed Section A of http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381, also worked.

But then I try Section B. Did not work. I get:

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 00800000 ...

I had saved the env at /root/current_envs.txt but I can't access it any more.

I am using a serial cable. So how can I fix this?

cde,

Did you create the new Debian rootfs on USB as instructed in:
http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096


For me to see the entire picture, plug in your USB rootfs, boot with serical console, interrupt it and

printenv
boot

And post the entire serial console log (from u-boot banner until it stop booting) here.

Ideally, I want to install that debian build on the internal flash, or a recovery or something. Even the original pogo would be nice, but since I hosed it :/

Install Linux VM on your Mac.I think Parallell has a free version. Or you can use Virtualbox for free (VMWare Fusion cost some money).

You envs look good. So it will boot with USB Debian rootfs.

Update: I got the usb rootfs from your link, thanks to my 11 year old DamnSmallLinux usb boot drive lol.

Update 2: Ignore the previous edit. The first flash drive I used continued to give I/O errors. Old, garbage. A second drive worked great. In the Debian 4.4.0 build.

Now how can I get this or a recovery on the on-board flash? I rather not need a flash drive. Time to read the board some more.

Update 3: I did get recovery working.

First used http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,3896, had to modify the script to ignore the u boot check (since I have the 2016 version).

Since the 2016 u boot default env doesn't include the rescue_install env commands as part of boot, had to modify it a bit.

bootcmd=run bootcmd_uenv; run scan_disk; run set_bootargs; run bootcmd_exec; run bootcmd_rescue; sleep 120; reset

Then I went for it, and added the 2.8.2 rescue from http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?4,7915,page=1 (copy of file found from http://wohnen-saar.de/rescue_nach_tmp_und_aus_ram_flashen)

Also works. Now I just need to set it up. Print Server here I come. Thank you.
