ebbes, Thanks for the suggestion! it's a little nice feature to have. I'll take a look. > re-running u-boot is only supported on > certain architectures and kirkwood is not one of > them? Actually, U-Boot does not support this (people have been doing this as an undocumented feature). It would work if the image is almost the same (code, data allocation,…). But it waby bodhi - uBoot
msanad, Be careful when you flash u-Boot with Pogo E02 because if something goes wrong during flashing (typos, power outage,…) then the only way to recover is JTAG. You can download the latest Pogo E02 u-Boot from here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 And then follow the instruction here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14916,14917#msg-14917 Note about uboot.kwb imageby bodhi - uBoot
@PlanetEater & Pras et al, Certainly everybody is welcomed to contribute :) So you could upload your patches here for information. However, we should do it a little more methodical. Let's wait for WarheadsSE to get the NSA3xx up and running, before we'll try to improve. And anybody looking at the GitHub Kirkwood patches, if you see anything we can improve then please post.

UART booting does work with the NSA320: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852 I recall that many have tried it successfully.by bodhi - Debian
axel-dd, What if you use iperf to measure the network transit only (old and new kernel use different network drivers). Would it show the slow down at all? Also, this might be the difference in mv_sata version , but it's just my guess. It's good to use lsmod to get mv_sata module version in the stock FW and comparing it with the new kernel's module.by bodhi - Debian

Guys, Could you post your dmesg output for NSA325? (running kernel 3.xx.xx whether Debian or Arch). Thanks!by bodhi - Debian
twinclouds, Perhaps you should check routing table. It's been a while, so I don't remember all the details. This is my routing table on a Pogo Pro running Debian wheezy roofs. # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 192.168.0.0by bodhi - Debian
axel-dd, I don't have 7zip installed on my boxes so have not looked at your log. But I'd refer to WarheadsSE re things related to the NSA3xx (whether it is possible write speed could be improved). The nanwrite is part of mtd-utils package: apt-get install mtd-utilsby bodhi - Debian

WorldwoWires, I am not sure what you are trying to do? why saveenv in netconsole prompt? can you boot with USB into debian with this box? if you can then do fw_setenv inside Debian, would that work? (you do not need to saveenv in uBoot, if you can boot into Debian). This is crucial to avoid mistakes, alway boot with a temporary set of uBoot envs, and then if everything went OK, redo it in Debiby bodhi - uBoot
Looks like this stock uboot does not have usb command. And as WarheadsSE said, rootfs in Nand was corrupted. You have 2 choices, either: 1. Try to restore rootfs with a backup dump, from a good unit. 2. Flash new uboot so you can boot with usb. Setup tftp server on the box that you use to monitor serialconsole. And use tftp command to load new uboot image, and flash it.by bodhi - uBoot

heychris, The behavior is expected. With 2 SATA ports, you will need rootfs label to boot, just like for the usb root usb_root=LABEL=rootfs So if you label one disk rootfs, and set your bootargs to look for the label, then it will boot correctly. We can't really rely on the drive assignments, since it is unpredictable some of the time (whichever spins up first gets sda1).by bodhi - uBoot
Heychrist, 1. Yes. That's the idea. Use 2nd Hdd or a Usb thumb. But dont copy the live system. Should be a tar back up. Why do you need debootstrap? I thought you already have Stora kernel 3.9.x? But it you want to create a brand new rootfs using debootstrap, look for vlad posts in this forum. 2. Yup. That's why I only provided the uBoot image. It"s definitely not for newb, i.by bodhi - uBoot

Do you still have the dmesg output of stock FW? what is your current dmesg output look like?by bodhi - Debian
Strange! Try running CE>> help at the prompt to see what commands are available.by bodhi - uBoot
Heychrist, I forgot this. Since stock uBoot defines the envs at a different address (0x40000), when this uBoot image is flashed in serial console, it is OK because you can set the envs manually at the prompt. But if people flash this in Linux, they would have to adjust /etc/fw_env.config and set the envs to boot usb drive before rebooting. So I guess I could either 1. add these envs intoby bodhi - uBoot
I kind of expect it. The stock uBoot is quite old, so it's limited in scripting. Too bad the Pogo E02 does not have UART booting so you can try without flashing new uBoot to NAND. You could flash uBoot directly to NAND using serial console, but I don't know if you want to do that. If booting with stock u-Boot does not work, then you can try that. We'll come to that later if this doby bodhi - uBoot

Heychrist, Excellent :) Looks like Ext4 rootfs booting works fine too. Besides Ext4, the feature that most people looking for is: to be able to boot a GPT > 2TB HDD, or a smaller GPT disk. If you don't have a >2TB HDD, you could format a USB thumb/HDD drive as GPT using parted, untar a Stora rootfs on it and boot.
