Re: (WIP) Linux Kernel 4.14.24 Seagate Business Storage NAS (CNSxxx) package - 5 years ago

With my Blackarmor fully loaded with 4 SATA drives I now get some info. Guess the bus needs a minimum of two drives to avoid timeouts: Whitney # scsi init Initialize SCSI AHCI 0001.0100 32 slots 2 ports 3 Gbps 0x3 impl SATA mode flags: ncq stag pm led clo only pmp pio slum part scanning bus for devices...

Play around with the addresses you use to load the images. Try the ones I used (see my boot log above). I used Bodhi's uImage directly and created a mini uInitrd from Bodhi's 3.15 on

This model has no IDE interfaces, only SATA. Also, I've been unsuccessful in getting U-Boot to recognize any USB hard drive or stick.

I will help with this, but am I mistaken that others have at least gotten 3.18 to work on this box? If it will help, I will configure my Blackarmor for remote access. Mark

Re: (WIP) Linux Kernel 3.18.5 Seagate Business Storage NAS (CNSxxx) package - 5 years ago

Thanks for the link, Blackdevil. I'm working my way through it but before I build a kernel I should probably get someone else's up and running first. It's been at least a decade since I've built kernels and I'm quite rusty. So far I have not been able to boot anything via tftp on my 4bay Seagate Blackarmor. The rootfs isn't found as the kernel modules apparently a

How much effort would this involve and is there any way I could help? I've been spending the past few weekends trying to get my NAS440 up to date and would love to help move this forward whatever way I can. Where can I find any howtos or instructions for creating dts files? Thanks!
