Re: Use netconsole to troubleshoot uBoot without a serial cable - 10 years ago

Frederick Grayson, > Y:\Downloads\FTP http\NetCat for > Windows\nc111nt_rodneybeede>nc -l -u -p 6666 Perhaps the flakiness is on the netconsole server side. Try to make sure you can interrupt it and execute commands. Or use a different nc. Better yet, since you can boot the Pogo V4, use that for netconsole server. Don't use Windows netcat, you will have better luck with Linux

Re: File Transfer speed - 10 years ago

NTFS is slow. If you must use it, use big_writes. For example: mount -L $disk_label -o noatime,big_writes /media/$disk_label Google it and you will find may different tweaks to improve the speed.

Re: Kirkwood U-boot - Getting all supported Kirkwoods on-board - 10 years ago

@WarheadsSE, Do you have the DTS for the NSA325? I'm starting to build kernel 3.17 and I realized that we need NSA325, Pogo V4, and Netgear Stora DTS to build the common Kirkwood armv5 kernel. Between mainline and ALARM, the other boxes DTS are already available.

Ian, If you've done what I suggested above, try looking for the plug in the network. Netconsole does not display more output than "Starting Kernel ….". If no sight of the plug, your last resort is serial console: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?8,13263

Re: Linux Kernel 3.16 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 10 years ago

Hi hepi, If you are using my rootfs, then there is no extra udev rules in the rootfs except for network device. It's up to the users to add udev rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/ to automount USB drives or any other devices. It is bare minimum rootfs.

IanD QuoteAny last thoughts before I rip this thing apart and use it as a spare hard drive ? Don't :) Your problem is simple to fix. It is a rootfs mounting problem. Since you already have the new rootfs on the Cruzer Blade, do these: - label the rootfs partition rootfs, using tune2fs -L on another Linux box (assuming the Cruzer Blade was mounted as sdb1): tune2fs -L rootfs /d

Re: Use netconsole to troubleshoot uBoot without a serial cable - 10 years ago

Your u-boot has support for netconsole. It's the latest installed by this script. Boot up the Pogo E02, log in to Linux and ping 192.168.1.50, do you see the response? and does your /etc/resolve.config has any domain in it? if there is, try clearing everything in it and replace with nameserver 8.8.8.8 I think it might be your network. Netconsole is not a sure thing, and it is affect

Re: Totaly f***ed up my Goflex Home uBoot - 10 years ago

It stuck there because of the bootargs when you run the command like above. Go ahead and boot to see where it was stuck at booting the kernel: > boot Once you've booted into Linux, remember to set stdin, stdout, stderr back to serial. And remove the preboot env.

Re: Strange behaviors of Wheezy/Pogo Mobile with wifi dongle - 10 years ago

twinclouds, I meant simply that you can log in with serial console and look at the problem live, even though you can't ssh in. You can try setting routes, up/down the wlan, … so on. It is easier to see it that way.

Re: File Transfer speed - 10 years ago

vaidyasr, The rootfs has little to do with it, unless your'e swaping to a swap file or partition on the drive that the rootfs is on while copying. If you're copying from USB-to-USB, then it has a lot to do with those drives speeds, and how they are formatted. So even if the rootfs is on the SD card, it should not be a factor. You can verify it by running iotop on a different te

Re: Strange behaviors of Wheezy/Pogo Mobile with wifi dongle - 10 years ago

@twinclouds, Do you have serial console? this is where serial console will make troubleshooting much easier. I had this problem long ago on the Pogo Pro. IIRC, the solution was with routing table (gateway). If I can find my note, I'll post the settings.

morph027, You must have started out with Arch kernel uImage in NAND first, and then made a SATA disk with everything on disk using WarheadsSE procedure, and then replace rootfs with one of the rootfs from Varkey or Shv. The last time it ran, it was using Debian Squeezy completely from SATA disk.
