Hi SPuntte, I'll address some of your questions and leave the rest to others! QuoteSo Debian would be the logical choice. Any arguments for and against? Really there is no for/against Debian or Arch. Which ever your preference is fine. QuoteI dislike the idea of a USB drive sticking out from the back of the NAS 24/7 You can use the Sandisk Cruzer Fit. It has very minimum footprby bodhi - Debian
I've uploaded a new kernel 3.14 build that supports the Netgear Stora: linux-image-3.14.0-kirkwood-tld-2_2.0_armel.deb md5: ea79aa9ee167a8105c95947660b75e49 Anyone with the Stora, please try this and post feedback if it works for you, and if there is any problem.by bodhi - Debian
Question: QuoteYou can completely shut down the SATA port's power by using "/sys/class/gpio/gpio14/value". Echo a "0" there and the port will be powered down. So later when needed you would power on by echoing a "1" to this gpio pin?by bodhi - Debian
Congratulation! and your knowledge is so much more than regular computer engineers out there (speaking from real life experience :) QuoteI found that if there is some "old" GPL source available for your device, it should be possible to add it to the new kernel sources pretty (=relatively) quickly, as Kirkwood support is really good, today Agreed, all it would take is a setup.c filby bodhi - Debian

narddawg314, You can't go back to factory, because you've updated U-Boot by running this script: ./kirkwood.debian-wheezy.sh If there was no error during this script execution, then all you need is a good rootfs on a USB thumb drive to boot your GFHome, and then fix your HDD. Or use this rootfs on your HDD from now on. So create rootfs on a USB drive, using the latest: Debian-by bodhi - Debian
This is the instruction to create rootfs (instruction always seems complicated because it is written to spell out all technical details): QuoteUpdated 07 Feb 2014: Rootfs Debian-3.13.1-kirkwood-tld-2 was uploaded. This rootfs is to keep in sync with kernel Linux-3.13.1-kirkwood-tld-2 (and its new features). Basic minimal Debian Kirkwood rootfs for most Kirwood plugs: - tarball size:by bodhi - Debian

Goetz, You have U-Boot 2011.12 installed. And you tried to run a different and newer U-Boot image from memory, I don't think it will work (U-Boot is designed to run from a reset/initial state). When you said "bricked", does the bricked Dockstar U-Boot load at all? can you stop it at serial console?by bodhi - uBoot

Termo, It is indeed a weird problem because the kernel was built fine! I wonder what's in the dvbhdhomeru module code that triggers the error. I agree, it does seem to me they are bugs. Please file as bugs and see what people will say.by bodhi - Debian
elcaramba, Unfortunately, not without serial console. With netconsole, we can see a good part of the boot process, but rootfs mounting activities won't show. Yes, it's a bit of a hassle to figure out problem with bootargs and rootfs mouting. The reason is that network is halt by U-Boot before booting kernel. So even though it is there in the log, but we can't see it with netconsby bodhi - Debian

Hi pbg4, My bad :) I should have consulted with you earlier (I totally forgot to do that), when I saw this and I assumed that the patch was already in the mainline (the date of the file is the same). patching file drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/dw2102.c Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!

elcaramba, Do these 2 things: 1. Make sure you have extracted the rootfs to a USB drive as root user, as stated in the instruction (sudo won't work). If you did not, then redo the rootfs. 2. Take your rootfs drive to anothe Linux box and fsck it for errors.by bodhi - Debian

Flooreus, First thing is U-Boot can't find any kernel (uImage) on your 2nd HDD. So it can't boot the kernel. I'm not familiar with davygravy's U-Boot build so I can't say why it enumerated your HDDs as hdxx. And this will come into play in the bootcmd. > Under which environment variable is this set?

narddawg314, If you have not installed anything (e.g. changing U-Boot) in NAND mtd partitions, and have only messed with your stock HDD, then you can do a factory recovery: http://support.goflexhome.hipserv.com/en/reflash/index.html But if you can't do factory recovery then you will need serial console.

There are quite a few things that are wrong. Are you booting the original NSA320 U-Boot (much older U-Boot version)? The info that raises attention right away is: Loading file "/boot/uImage" from ide device 1:1 (hdb1) meaning U-Boot looks for /boot/uImage from the second hard disk.
