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.

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. In the meanby bodhi - uBoot
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

Cool! I also forgot to mention that the uBoot env is defined at location 0xC0000 (to be consistent with other Kirkwood plugs). # MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size Number of sectors /dev/mtd0 0xc0000 0x20000 0x20000 That was the reason for the error *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment Since there is no envs there yet, hence no checksum.

Heychrist & kiryl, Here is a test version for 2013.10 U-Boot for Netgear Stora. Please only run it with UART booting (Do not flash to NAND). If it works OK, I will rebuild with clean patch and publish it. Let me know if you can boot with it and see if any problem. The patch is quite old, so I did a major surgery on it to fit with the new u-Boot source code structure!by bodhi - uBoot
If you don't have serial console, then set up netconsole: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14 Watch the boot log to see if there is any error. If not sure, post the log here.by bodhi - uBoot
@kiryl, Which system do you compile on? the Stora itself? or cross compile on another box?by bodhi - uBoot
beausoleil, > This is frustrating as hell. Still having trouble > with nc… Remember that you are running an old version of u-Boot. u-Boot netconsole has been buggy up until the latest u-Boot :) so I would say if you install the new u-Boot by running Jeff's script, then netconsole will be much more reliable. Still, there were reports about intermittent problems with it. Doby bodhi - uBoot

Malc, Nice! thanks for sharing. I've looked at CE source code before, hoping I can extract the part where SATA interface is initialized to create a patch for the latest u-Boot code. That was not easy :) the code is quite different comparing to the current u-Boot code. I shelved the idea since it would take too much time.by bodhi - uBoot
Malc, > Would I be right in thinking that you are taking > the upstream (kernel.org) kernel, applying the > patches (that you include in the distribution), > building according to the config file (also > included)? Yes indeed! the released tarball has everything you need to build the same kernel.by bodhi - Debian
Guys, The Goflex Home/Net and Pogoplug V4/Mobile plugs use a power supply which is 5V 1.5A/2A, and has a male barrel jack (is that what it called?) that plugs into the plug rear female jack. Anybody knows the size of this power jack? is 5.5x2.5mm male a correct description? Thanks!by bodhi - Off-Topic
The approach I took is really simple: 1. Use busbox-syslogd to log all system events to RAM 2. Move all frequently writes to /tmp. Set all system daemons output to log files in /tmp (i.e. RAM). 3. Use command iotop -o -b -qqq to log all disk writes over period of time to make sure that all the logging are actually going to RAM. 4. If using swap, allocate swap file to hard disk.
