Re: (WIP) Linux Kernel and rootfs 4.14.24 for Seagate Business Storage NAS (CNS3xxx) package - 5 years ago
I did all my testing with only two drives in the bays, one of which did not boot and was only there to complete the bus. At the start I was booting the kernel uImage and an initrd from my TFTP server but once I got a combination I liked I put them on my hard drives. I then formatted he new drives I wanted to use and put a small RAID0 partition on them to act as my boot partition. U-Boot doesn&by MarkTurner - Debian
Re: (WIP) Linux Kernel and rootfs 4.14.24 for Seagate Business Storage NAS (CNS3xxx) package - 5 years ago
Not sure which model you have, Andy, but the U-Boot included with my 4-Bay Business NAS did not enable USB booting, nor does it react to the "magic packet" on the network. I had to buy an RS232-to-TTL board to access U-Boot's serial console, after which I was able to save BOOT_CMDS to do most of what I need. It's still a work in progress but mine is now running well enoughby MarkTurner - Debian

Re: (WIP) Linux Kernel and rootfs 4.14.24 for Seagate Business Storage NAS (CNS3xxx) package - 5 years ago
So, has anyone been successful in getting the SPI driver to work? I notice there is no mention of SPI in the bootup logs. I've tried KL Yang's kernel, Tommy's kernel, and my own but none seem to work. I believe Yang's kernel driver came from OpenWRT but I haven verified that (nor tried the OpenWRT kernel). I'm assuming the SPI support is what I need to access the flashby MarkTurner - Debian

That's a bit unexpected! The port multiplier was the key to getting my drives going. I don't know why enabling support might make your drives unrecognized?

Re: (WIP) Linux Kernel and rootfs 4.14.24 for Seagate Business Storage NAS (CNS3xxx) package - 5 years ago
I can't get tld-1.2 to boot at all. Changing LOADADDR doesn't seem to help, either at U-Boot or using mkimage. It either hangs on "Starting Kernel Image ..." or segfaults and dumps me back into U-Boot. Incidentally, the kernels I can boot won't let me specify mem=512M. They won't load at all if I use that, so Tommy79's memory fixup seems to be necessary. Cby MarkTurner - Debian

OK, finally found a spare SATA drive I could put Bodhi's rootfs onto as /dev/sda1. I wanted to definitively rule out my uIinitrd tftp image hogging all the memory. Now I've got new and interesting errors which might require a new kernel build as it tells me there's no kernel memory protection.

Re: (WIP) Linux Kernel 4.14.24 Seagate Business Storage NAS (CNSxxx) package - 5 years ago
After watching the native kernel boot, I decided to try booting Bodhi's 4.14.24 kernel and using /dev/md1 (the native Seagate filesystem) as the rootfs. This suggests loading uinitrd into memory is indeed the cause of the kernel paging fault. I've gotten a lot farther this time than others! Now it looks like the impediment for me is that software RAID isn't started so /dev/md1 can&by MarkTurner - Debian
