How could you oversaw this post: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,17868,20589#msg-20589 There is a step-by-step HowTo how you can modify the init-script of the initramfs to make it boot to your own Debian system located on a harddrive (what I have already described in my last post to you). Then you can let it automatically boot to your Debian root on the harddrive.by Yama - Debian
I don't know what you mean with "changing" the firmware. You know which parameters to use on uboot to boot a kernel which is located on a harddrive and you have a step-by-step HowTo replace the original kernel in my last post. Well, other things: People seem to be able to boot a kernel with the version 3.x on CNS boards, without network support and only in singlecore mode.by Yama - Debian
Finally, I compiled a kernel and made a initramfs for it. Now the "root"-parameter is being replaced in the init-script in the initramfs. So I am now able to boot directly to the partition I want to, instead of stock OS without interrupting uboot. This creates a initramfs on the NAS, which can be used for a kernel, either as parameter or inbuilt. Since we can't give parametby Yama - Debian
Don't know why the module shouldn't work for you :/ OK, so we are stuck at kernel 2.6 and we must be afraid on every update I guess, that someday debian isn't support it. We would need to compile the USB drivers to the kernel in order to be able to use USB dongle as rootfs. And, the worst, we need to set the uboot variable on every damn boot.... You said earlier, that dhcpby Yama - Debian
FATAL: Module xhci-hcd not found. Seems, that it can't find your module. I would check again, if everything is in /lib/modules/ I only did: cd / tar xf ~/modules.tar.gz Since the tar has the whole tree, everything extracted perfectly in place. What does lsmod show? Mine (I don't have any USB devices attached currently): lsmod Module Size Used by xhci_by Yama - Debian
Hm, not really. If you have extracted your modules.tar.gz in root, the needed modules should be under /lib/modules/2.6blah.blah.blah/ You wanted to try to compile a newer kernel. Did you tried it directly on the NAS? Yeah, I know, will take ages, but easier than making a toolchain. I am currently compiling 3.19 with, hopfully, the network and USB drivers for Cavium inbuilt. Did you manby Yama - Debian
Debian-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2 Jessie The unexpected parameters are? I tried several baurates, but no luck. //Edit Not working network seems to be not-always-working dhcp, like blackdevil mentioned on mydealz. I needed to enable T0 with 38400 in /etc/inittab. Now it works on serial :Dby Yama - Debian
I am glad, that you linked the modules. I was really able to boot debian for the first time :D Extract your modules.tar.gz directly in root and put this in /etc/modules: cns3xxx cns3xxx_pse_init usblp xhci-hcd First two lines are for the network, like minimi told us on mydealz. I just looked around in the modules.tar.gz and saw the usb folder in it and just added both modules in itby Yama - Debian
Thanks, I'll look into it. Btw, I pm'd you one or two month's ago :P //Edit Damn, can't build a toolchain for this. Compiling the old gcc fails with missing modules of gcc and glibc++. Could you give me a uImage, till I am able to compile one myself?by Yama - Debian
I would like to find out that, too. .. After I got some information from you, or either the kernel you are using, since I was not able to boot a kernel except the stock one... >_< So mind giving the kernel you are using and some information for me, please?by Yama - Debian
