Hey! Thanks for all the help so far! I followed the directions you gave me and have a 2.5" 80G hard drive that boots fine into Debian. I am trying to 'TAR' over the files from that drive to a 3T drive and am having difficulty. I have a couple of questions about the log that is generated. 1. WARNING: Caches not enabled - Is this something to be concerned about? How to enableby jbarrick - uBoot
OK. I formatted a hard drive as ext3 and connected it to the USB port through an adapter. It did not work. I then plugged the hard drive directly into the SATA port on the GoFlex Home and success! Now what? Has my GoFlex Home been updated so i don't need the serial boot anymore? Since this hard drive is not my permanent hard drive, how should I format my permanent one? Do I still needby jbarrick - uBoot
OK. I went back to ext2 and tried again: root@debian:~/Downloads/kwboot-tool# ./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb -p Sending boot message.

If I hit a key at the first chance I get to stop the autoboot, I get a goflexhome> prompt. I tried start usb and usbboot but they didn't work. I formatted the USB stick with ext4 and extracted the Debian file onto it. Did I need to do anything like load sysvinit or some bootloader? I remember back in the DOS floppy days, we had to run something to make the disk bootable. I did try seby jbarrick - uBoot

Great! Thanks for the links! Well, some success I think. I kept getting modem errors on the kwboot. I disconnected another USB drive and reset the USB connection to the GoFlex Home and then it seemed to work. It looks like I have more work to do though. Here are the results: 0 % [+++xmodem: Bad message root@debian:~/Downloads/kwboot-tool# ./kwboot -t -B 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0 -b ubootby jbarrick - uBoot
Well, I have tried several tools to format the USB stick all with the same result. The stick is just not recognized. I will try the kwboot again. Could you point me in the right direction for the files I need. I have spent several hours going from link to link trying to find how to do the boot over UART but so for have been unable to find directions and files. Thanks!by jbarrick - uBoot
Sorry! Still no luck with the USB boot! I used gparted as root to write a new mbr and add a new ext3 formatted partition. I have tried kwboot and didn't have much luck there either. But I will try again if that is the next step.

It is an 8 gig Sandisk formatted in one full primary partition ext3. I’m pretty sure the boot flag is enabled but I’ll double check that. It is labeled as roots.by jbarrick - uBoot
The previous listing is without ethernet or a hard drive. I put the original 2T hard drive in it and here is the log for that boot with the USB stick installed: U-Boot 2010.09 (Feb 16 2011 - 18:42:02) UBIT v0.6 by Jeff Doozan and Peter Carmichael SoC: Kirkwood 88F6281_A0 DRAM: 128 MiB NAND: 256 MiB In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: egiga0 88E1116 Initializeby jbarrick - uBoot
Great! Thanks! I just got a 3T hard drive to replace the original one. Will I need to update the u-boot?

I have tried kwboot with just the serial connection and no hard drive and I get a +modem protocol error. It does boot up to a Marvell>> prompt but I am not sure what I can fix from there? The other thing I noticed is that there is only one MTD partition and I think there should be more. I have tried to make a bootable usb thinking I could try and do a reinstall from there but it seems liby jbarrick - uBoot
Hi! I am new here and new at hacking my Goflex home. I tried to update to ArchLinux but at the end I did the reboot and only got a green flashing light. I have done some other things so I don't really know where I am at. I have a serial connection and am attaching a log. I have tried to Uart boot through the serial connection but I immediately get an +xmodem protocol error. Any assistaby jbarrick - uBoot
