I set up net console and have my serial console hotglued in and back in the case just to hope. I already set my arcnumber to 3089 and it recognizes sata drives. but i am not sure if it will boot from it yet. thanks again.by earl - uBoot
ok! :) up and running. mostly. I got into this trouble because I was trying (no good reason ) to restore to factory uboot. still can't, there is something different about this version of goflexhome i think because I needed to use --no-uboot-check in the script. I used tftp btw. It was just easier for me than uart. I have a new question. I cannot access the rescue system when no usb is plugby earl - uBoot
OK I missed that update. (and I looked for it when I saw that the post was updated.... ) yes it is interesting. Its a kirkwood (goflex home). thanksby earl - uBoot
