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. QuoteI suppose I should let all the guys over at openstora.comby bodhi - uBoot
Here is the latest u-Boot build for the Stora: uboot.2013.10.tld-2.1.netgear_ms2110.bodhi.tar md5: 25c1df5fd4e9e12526b2e0cae496af7f This has the same features as the other u-Boot images uploaded here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 Please test with UART and let me know it's working OK or any problem. Upon positive feedbacks, I will merge the delta patch to GitHub.by bodhi - uBoot
pbg4, BTW, you could try UART booting on another Kirkwood box first for sanity check . Even though it will not boot correctly, it will boot into Debian (no eth0, though).by bodhi - Debian
One more thing, if this causes an error: setenv usb_boot 'mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load usb $usb_device 0x800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load usb $usb_device 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else bootm 0x800000; fi' then try this instead setenv usb_boot 'mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load usb $usb_device 0x800000 /boot/uImage; ext2load usb $usb_device 0x1100000 /bootby bodhi - uBoot

Looks like we have the same idea :) I got this recently but have not got around to try it yet: http://store.123greetings.com/catalog/product/view/id/85162 Let us know if you to try the PCIe SATA with new u-Boot, how it goes. I hope to get u-Boot recognizing and booting with this PCIe card. The chipset ASM1061 seems to be very popular.by bodhi - Debian
OK. I don't have the log for original u-Boot envs so can't say why it did not boot. It seems OK. Let's do this: 1. Get the latest rootfs from here and put it on a new USB thumb drive (formatted as Ext3) using another Linux box: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 2. Plug in this rootfs and power up 3.

msanad, Looks like it's booting the stock u-Boot and stock kernel. But I think you've messed up your u-Boot envs so it can't finish starting the kernel. At the serial console get the listing of u-Boot envs and post here. CE>> printenvby bodhi - uBoot

IMO, It's right at the top of the Kirkwood plugs for me (256MB RAM and large 512MB NAND, Wifi). You might want to try my new iConnect uBoot buildby bodhi - Debian

I've re-uploaded 2013.10-tld-2 u-Boot images for GoFlexNet, GoFlex Home and Pogo E02. And I also uploaded 2013.10-tld-2 u-Boot images for Dockstar and iConnect. Please check 1st post for download links.by bodhi - uBoot
Twinclouds, Thanks for the feedbacks! Defintely the abbreviated guide was not for newb. I will modify it a bit to mention both, excellent points!by bodhi - Debian
Hi Christ, Yes, looks like I forgot to remove debug statements in this build:) unfortunately I dont know any way to turn it off when it is running! I will rebuild it along with new uBoot images for iConnect and Dockstar and release all at once.by bodhi - uBoot
archat68, > I need something newbieproof ik ethe Jeff's script > :). Currently, the only automated installation is to install Arch Linux. That way you will have a complete system running first. This is to get uBoot installed automatically. Then if you want to run Debian then use a different USB stick to create Debian rootfs, see http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096. So yeby bodhi - Debian
Iome, Thanks for your report. It was indeed an oversight of mine :) I believe it's because this Kirkwood pm module was introduced only in 3.13.x, I've missed it in the patch. Will make sure that it will be added back in the next version.by bodhi - Debian

Except that I don't think we can run Jeff's script for that purpose. You can run Arch Linux ARM script to install a complete system on USB first, and then boots with your own Debian rootfs.

@WarheadsSE, I've cloned git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git to my local directory. But I'm not sure how do I set my Git to take version 2013.10? do I need use a tag for this? if I do then where do I get that tag? My plan is to create a kirkwood branch from that snapshot, and check in the patches. Thanks.by bodhi - uBoot

beausolei, Setup a static IP in your rootfs. Example (if your router is 192.168.0.1): #cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo eth0 iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.100 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 After that if you can ping it, then likely it's booted. See if you can ssh in.by bodhi - uBoot

Heychrist, At u-boot prompt, try to initialize the Sata disk: ide reset or ide init What do you see? Also, we should try to conform to Jeff's proven settings for Kirkwood plugs: bootm for uInage is at 0x800000, for uInitrd is at 0x110000 (I might miss a zero or two here:)by bodhi - uBoot

@heychris, Good progress! so you are booting a squeeze Stora kernel using my wheezy rootfs. It really has not entirely proved that it has no problem with later kernel 3.x.x! but it is a good start. Linux debian 2.6.33-2-kirkwood #4 Thu Aug 5 18:42:13 UTC 2010 armv5tel I guess later I could take a look to see if the Debian Stora patch can be incorporated into 3.13.1 kernel.

heychris, OK. It does look good, relatively. Except for a few things, though: - Even though Debian booted, but the machine was identified incorrectly. It thinks it's a GoFlex Net (it's because you've set the machid to C11). - My kernel does not have Netgear Stora support :) forgot about it! The reason it booted because your arcNumber is 2097 (Marvell reference board). If yby bodhi - uBoot
