I'm very eager to hear about the outcome! I had a similar problem when trying to compile the IET iSCSI module but unfortunately even after having installed the headers, the compilation still failed. Didn't try installing kernel source, though. At the end I just cross-compiled the module using the environment I had left from compiling the kernel. Worked like a charm.

Strange indeed. hd_args and usb_args come from my previous attempts to make it work. At the beginning I also wanted to go the clean way, but after everything else failed, a hacked initrd was the only thing left. I've just tried to pass #fw_setenv usb_bootcmd "run usb_init; run usb_set_bootargs; usb_root=LABEL=rootfs; run usb_boot" which is like the closest point you can get.by Vlad - Debian
Here you are. But frankly speaking I don't see much purpose in applying the other solution apart from the aesthetic reasons. Debian can only modify your initrd but not the uInitrd. Thus it definitely won't get overwritten. Moreover, I wouldn't suggest that newbies mess with the environment variables. An ugly initrd is a much lesser evil than a hosed bootloader environment. eby Vlad - Debian

Thanks for pointing that out. I've just updated the HOWTO accordingly.by Vlad - Debian
Thanks for your test. Nice to know that mv_cesa is not completely useless, although 2,2MB/s more are quite lame. Currently I use twofish-xts-plain for most purposes. For backups, where I really need the full speed, I use iSCSI + client side encryption. That gives me pretty decent 25-30MB/s when writing to an aes-xts-plain encrypted ext4 partition.by Vlad - Debian
Sorry, there was a typo in the Howto. You should run # mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0 -e 0 -n Linux-2.6.38 -d /boot/initrd.img-2.6.38-goflex-ubit /boot/uInitrd instead. Just look at ls -al /boot no initrd.img-2.6.38-goflex-ubit_mod but a initrd.img-2.6.38-goflex-ubit ;)by Vlad - Debian
You are missing mkimage. apt-get install uboot-mkimage uboot-envtools cd /boot/ /usr/bin/mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-2.6.37.6 -d /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.37.6-goflex /boot/uImage As far as the kernel config is concerned you may try to get it via zcat /proc/config.gz > .configby Vlad - Debian
Hi squeezeplug, 1. I use it with UBIT but I can't think of any reason why it shouldn't work on uBOOT too. 2. If you use my kernel config without any changes, it will boot only on GoFlex (Net) and Dockstar. 3. Yes, full SATA support 4. Didn't try it out myself, but actually this should work too 5. Not by default. When you do the configuration part via make ARCH=arm CROSS_by Vlad - Debian
In this HOWTO I'd like to explain how to compile a custom 2.6.38.8 kernel for the GoFlex Net. I did this on Kubuntu 11.04 but I guess that every other Debian based distro should be fine as well. First we should install the necessary packages: sudo apt-get install aptitude libncurses5 libncurses5-dev qt3-dev-tools libqt3-mt-dev build-essential fakeroot kernel-package libncurses5 libncurby Vlad - Debian
How does your CONFIG_LOCALVERSION in .config look like? If it's "pogo_e02" try replacing it by "pogo". I believe that the underscore "_" is a problem.by Vlad - Debian
Those should actually be two lines but somehow they got merged in the howto. I've just updated that part.by Vlad - Debian
I use make-kpkg --rootcmd fakeroot --arch armel --cross-compile arm-none-linux-gnueabi- --append-to-version=-goflex --revision=1.1 --initrd kernel_image on my Linux machine. The things you write in "--append-to-version" and "--revision" are quite arbitrary.by Vlad - Debian
Frankly speaking, I'm not really a fan of all-in-one solutions like Owncloud, but I believe some folks have already got it running on a Dockstar which means that it will also work on GoFlex Net. See here http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,5454by Vlad - Debian
Well, it depends on what you consider to be basic functions. Since I know my music library very well, I usually just "zap" from song to song, meaning, that even "iMediaControl" would suit me fine. But as we know different people have different demands. I mostly agree with you concerning "SmartStor Fusion Stream" but you must admit that it has quite a lot of functiby Vlad - Debian

After having performed a brief search on this forum, I believe that many people who own a Dockstar or GoFlex are fully unaware of the fact that it's very easy to stream your music from a GoFlex/Dockstar to an iOS device. So I'd like to explain how to do it. In fact, to enable streaming you don't need stuff like AirPlay, AirVideo, iTunes Server etc. The magic words are UPnP andby Vlad - Debian
No I didn't. As far as I understand, to enable SSH or OpenSSL acceleration you need to compile a kernel with cryptodev engine. https://newit.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2030.0 I believe that's to much effort to get unsafe ciphers accelerated.by Vlad - Debian

SUCCESS!!! The 3.0.1 vanilla kernel with that Archlinux ARM Project patch boots. The only thing is that if you use their config (as I did) you should better replace CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ARCH" by CONFIG_LOCALVERSION="-ubit" Don't know why but until I did this, make-kpkg always failed with that weird "wrong file name" error.by Vlad - Debian
No problem. Well, it looks like guys from the Archlinux ARM Project have managed to run the 3.0.1 kernel on GoFlex Net. https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/tree/22366d0b3f3734d82346b3d4c1f987364936bdca/core/linux Perhaps I should try to apply their patch to a vanilla 3.0.1 and check whether that one boots. The good thing is that archers seem to use Ubit v0.6 just like me.by Vlad - Debian
