Hi Bastel, thanks a lot for your help! I've revoked 3 DS's to live again. All three came from a distributor from England and had been bricked! They all showed the same error. Thanks, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi dpffan, understood! In your tutorial you speak about "ce_ramdisk_v2.0b.img.gz" I can only find "ce_ramdisk_v2.0b.img" from the downloads. I thinks this file is the right one, not zipped?!, right? So I have to use this one right? I yust want to make sure I'll make a big mistake! Thanks, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi, I have a bricked DS. The DS does not boot into a OS. I have a serial connection enabled and the output looks like this: U-Boot 1.1.4 (Jul 16 2009 - 21:02:16) Cloud Engines (3.4.16) U-Boot code: 00600000 -> 0067FFF0 BSS: -> 00690D60 Soc: 88F6281 A0 (DDR2) CPU running @ 1200Mhz L2 running @ 400Mhz SysClock = 400Mhz , TClock = 200Mhz DRAM CAS Latency = 5 tRP = 5 tRAS = 18by squeezeplug - Debian
Hi, good news: the UBoot settings from above does not work, but even if you keep the old values: fw_setenv sata_boot 'ide reset; mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load ide 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi' the rootfs will be mounted as ext3 if it is formatted as ext3.

Does it matter if you answer to not disable the Pogo-System in Jeffs script. Greetings Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi, simple question: If I run Jeffs script on GF Net will I be able to keep the Pogo-System on the NAND? Greetings Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi kraqh3d, thanks a lot for the answer. I think I'll go crasy with this! For me it works, but for a friend of mine not. To become more clear, here some points: 1. is the command <fw_setenv usb_init "run usb_scan ; setenv usb_root LABEL=ROOTFS"> all I need if I have the actual Jeff's bootloader (U-Boot) installed ? 2. Are the quotationsmarks <"> right orby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi kraqh3d, if I do your commands manually I can boot from a USB-Stick even if a SATA HD is connected to the GoFlex Net device. usb start run usb_scan setenv usb_root=LABEL=ROOTFS run usb_set_bootargs printenv bootargs (verify the root parameter) run usb_boot There is one typo: setenv usb_root=LABEL=ROOTFS should be setenv usb_root LABEL=ROOTFS .

Hi, what does this mean: "type ext3 sec type ext2" if I type blkid ??? Is the fs mounted as ext2 or ext3 ??? Normaly I don't use an entry for the rootfs in fstab. The rootfs is mounted automatically without such an entry. Is this right? Greetings Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hiu ecc, the "MACH_DOCKSTAR" method worked fine. Thanks a lot, Greetings, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi Folks, is there a kernel or an image available which boots with every arcNumber? A fried of mine has changed the arcNumber and the Dockstar don't boot anymore. If we could find a kernel don't using the arcNumber we could revert it without a serial cable. Greetings, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi, the following problem: I've modified my GoFlex Net with Plugbox Linux and the UBIT-Bootloader. I like to revert it back to Jeff's bootloader and I like to install the rescue-system on the nand. So I installed Jeff's bootloader from Plugbox-Linux, follow this instructions: cd /tmp wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/uboot/install_uboot_mtd0.sh chmod +x install_uboot_mtby squeezeplug - Debian

Hi, I'm searching for a solution to run a standard Dockstar-Image (e.g. build with Jeff's script) on a SheevaPlug. I think some changes in the U-Boot environment should work! Maybe someone already figured that out ? The kernel I use has support for Sheeva as well. Greetings, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian

Thanks for that, I'll try! If I have a rescue system on the NAND is the boot behavior like this: 1. USB-Stick 2. SATA HD 3. Rescue System Or does Goflex only boot from SATA after the modifications ? Greetings, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi, thanks Vlad and kraqh3d for all your informations, but now I'm a little bit confused. What I understood is: Booting from SATA is only possible with UBIT. What about this: http://www.varkey.in/tag/goflex-net/ Does this modification work? fw_setenv sata_boot 'ide reset; mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load ide 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; tby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi Vlad, I decided to use Jeff's bootloader and maybe to install the rescue-system on NAND. I think that's a good setup as well. The SATA ports are working from this setup. I tried to boot from SATA, but that don't work for me. Do you have any idea? Thanks a lot, Greetings, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi Vlad, thanks for that! Are you sure this should work? I tried it from my working DS, because I can't do it on a non working GF. The kernel boots fine with Jeff's bootloader and I think I can live with that. My other problem is the SheevaPlug device. I like to use the same image with the same kernel on Sheeva, but I got lost. Have you done this? Do you know the UBoot environmenby squeezeplug - Debian
H Vlad, Ralphy and me build a kernel with your config. On DS the kernel works well. On GF the systems hangs with an error. I've attached the output! Do you have an idea? Thanks and Greetings, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi Vlad, if you run the scipt for setting up the crosscompiler on Ubuntu 11.4 you will get an error, because aptitude is missing. Maybe you should include aptitude in the list of the necessary packages. I can't test the rest, because www.kernel.org is down the last hours. Greetings, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian

Hi varkey, sounds good, I'll give that I try later. Could you eventually send me your kernel config, so I could see what's the difference between ours and your's. Maybe we could merge things together to get a kernel supporting all things inclusive the sound patch ?! That would be great! Greetings, Thomasby squeezeplug - Debian
Hi Vlad, very helpful informations! Good to hear it works with UBIT. I like UBIT very much, because we have a way back to the original Pogo system and UBIT allways boots (no trouble with USB-Sticks). A friend of mine and I, we are working on a kernel supporting all this stuff. We only have some problems to boot with UBIT and from Sheeva. Maybe we can learn some things out of your config.

Hi Vlad, nice post! A few questions: 1. Does this kernel boot with UBIT or only UBOOT ? 2. Does this kernel also work with Dockstar ? 3. Does the kernel support the SATA ports ? 4. Does the kernel boot from SATA ? 5. Does the kernel also boot from Sheeva? 6. Does the kernel support WIFI ? I think that all are options you can choose.

Hi, tonight I ran Jeff's Debian install script on my GoFlex Net. The installation process went wrong at Debian bootstrapping. That was not a big problem, because I had a working Debian stick i place. Booting from this stick works fine! But now I got some more questions / problems: 1. The Goflex Net does not boot Pogo from the NAND anymore. I think this is the normal behavior on GoFlex Neby squeezeplug - Debian
So the answer to my questions 1, 2, 3 amd 4 is "yes" right? And you think I should get netconsole to work, right?
