In order to boot stock kernel, most of the time you'll need to run stock u-boot. So kwboot the back up mtd0, and if it is successul, printenv and then post the serial console log.

Ivan, Quote> 12TB works just fine when rootfs is booted from > the USB, which makes me think that uboot driver is > not working well. Yes. It is indeed broken somewhere in mainline u-boot. So your plan to use USB rootfs is a good plan. I don't know when I will be able to revisit this and trouble shoot. I will try to debug using my 4TB HDD on another Kirkwood box.

Re: 2024.10 U-Boot Kirkwood - Synology DS211 - 3 days ago

Ivan, I'm convinced that there is a problem in u-boot regarding the large disk. It has nothing to do with SATA Identify. I've dumped the Identity words on my 4TB HDD and it looks fine. It seems flaky. Like there is not enough power. Large HDDs need 12V. For now, you should flash the Nov 22 version, which is OK with the normal HDD (i.e. 1TB) rootfs. And use it with the 12TB in

Re: 2024.10 U-Boot Kirkwood - Synology DS211 - 5 days ago

Ivan, How did you format this 12TB drive? did you format it as ext3 or ext4? Could you - Use command line parted to wipe the disk - Create a brand new partition - Format it as ext3. - Populate it with the rootfs (or some files in the root folder and /boot). The purpose is to see if you can see the files listed. And boot with this drive inserted in the upper bay. setenv device
