@bodhi, the uboot is working well. I just tried to boot the original Pogoplug OS and it works well. It seams to be possible to write a default uboot.env which boots into Pogoplug OS if no drive is connected to it. I didn't try netconsole yet. -shvby shv - uBoot
@bodhi, Yes, the MAC address is set in /etc/network/interfaces. I have one Squeeze rootfs where the folloing where the problem occurs if the MAC address in the boot environment and /etc/network/interfaces are the same. If I use certain values values it works. boot.env: ethaddr=00:25:31:01:66:5F /etc/network/interfaces: hwaddress ether 00:25:31:01:C9:74 If I adapt ethaddr to hwaddress etherby shv - Debian
@bodhi, Is there anything special for Debian modules? I compiled that kernel and installed it on my debian system. This means that the modules are also available. The 1.0 version of this kernel is available from there: http://pogoplug.square7.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=98#p418 -shvby shv - uBoot
@bodhi, it is working using the following line in boot.env: dt_sata_boot=ext2load ide 0:1 $uimage_addr /boot/uImage_2.6.31.14_OX820_1.2_shv.Pro; bootm $uimage_addr -shvby shv - uBoot

This is the reply to bodhis message: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,16044,16830#msg-16830 @bodhi, I have compiled the uboot with ext4 configuration successfully. The u-boot-spl.bin file can be loaded. Until now I don't have the right partition structure so that the primary loader can't load the u-boot.img. I just wanted to get you a fast feedback for the new ox820.c file. U-Bby shv - uBoot
@bodhi, yes I would like to test it but it seams not to be in your git repository yet. -shvby shv - Debian
bodhi, if I try to compile your git sources with ext4 or fat configuration it stops due to compilation problems. NAND and SATA configuration seams to be OK. -shvby shv - Debian
bodhi, I didn't try that yet. ALARM strategy was to put stage1 and uboot on specific sector location on the hard drive. Maybe I can just replace the uboot with the new one while using the old stage1 primary loader. I want to prevent a Fat32 partition just for boot files. Another strategy could be to make a uboot_spl.bin primary loader for SATA which loads the uboot and uboot env from flaby shv - Debian
Hello Bodhi, I would like to test the new uboot and kernel with booting from SATA. This means I don't want to change any NAND content. Can you please tell me what to do to get this working. - shvby shv - Debian
Are there any stage1 and uboot files available for the SATA disk or shall I still use the fieles from WarheadsSE?by shv - uBoot

If you can get SATA boot working you can correct everything even without a serial interface. The advantage of the serial interface is that you can see what is the problem with the current kernel in NAND. I am not sure but I think that the kernel from ingmar_k you have used just supports Ext4 rootfs partitions during boot.by shv - uBoot
If you tried my 2.6.31.14 Kernel you can find the necessary kernel sources and patches in the first post: http://pogoplug.square7.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=98.by shv - uBoot
It depends on you sound card. You could try if my kernel supports your sound card: http://pogoplug.square7.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=98 (DL from 2nd post). Alternatively you could try a newer kernel: http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=55&t=6193. You could boot from SATA disk to try out different kernels without the risk of flashing the uImage into NAND.by shv - uBoot
@rock.theory: Please make sure that you are using the right rootfs which fits to your kernel in the flash!

gr0ck, I think that you are trying to upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy. This is very difficult! If you have the 2.6.31.6 kernel from WarheadsSE in your NAND flash you could try my Wheezy rootfs (see http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,6336,13993#msg-13993). It must be extracted to an ext3 partition with rootfs as the partition name. If it doesn't work you might need an update to lastest 2.6.3by shv - uBoot
