Almaz, The kernel patch is in the tarball for 3.12.0-kirkwood-tld-3 in the first post. And you can download the kernel source tree for 3.12.0 from kernel.org. But why Paragon? ntfs-3g should work fine.by bodhi - Debian
Use this latest rootfs, put it on a USB thumb drive and boot with it: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096by bodhi - Debian
Regarding questions about NSA325 uBoot, we don't have the patch at the moment, so it is not available, yet.by bodhi - uBoot

cowboyuptx, I'm on the road for a few weeks, so I can only respond to question. The above is not for verification. It's for flashing uBoot to NAND. What it means is in your case, the bad block is block 2, so those 2 command are to erase the necessary 5 NAND blocks (because only 4 blocks are usable in the first 5), and then write uBoot image to these 5 blocks (nandwrite autotmaticaby bodhi - uBoot
Michael, Your installed rescue system does not support the Dockstar machid 0x00000bb6 (arcNumber 2998). You need to set arcNumber to 2097 (machid 0x00000831) to be able to boot.by bodhi - Rescue System
cowboyuptx, No problem :) You're in luck here, it should be straight forward just like in the posts you've linked above.

cowboyuptx, Unfortunately I won't have time to give you a hand since I'm starting a long trip, but if your bad blocks are what we have seen in this forum then I could point you to the thread/posts. Or perhaps restamp will guide you with figuring out the commands. So for starting, while you are still in Pogo OS, pls post the output of: dmesg Note that if you have shutdown the boby bodhi - uBoot
George, Try this to see if it helps: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14575 My card is microSDHC Sandisk Ultra 16GB, don't remember exactly but I think it is class 6. I could do mmc init twice and uBoot would recognize the card, but can not find the kernel on it. It is kind of flaky. I don't intend to use it for rootfs, though. I don't have plan to play with CE Pogo V4by bodhi - uBoot
I want to promote this potential solution from RomanG: QuoteSo I again reduced bootdelay variable from 10 sec to 2 sec and now it boots consistently from either cold reboot or warm reboot. from this post: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14158,14359#msg-14359 The solution was for HDD, and I think it should solve most if not all HDD booting timed out problem. But it might work for SD cby bodhi - uBoot

bertc3p0, uBoot has to be built for a specific box. So far I've uploaded only 3 uBoot images: GF Home, GF Net, and Pogo E02. I have built the Dockstar uBoot, and running it, but have not tested it with the large HDD. I would take request, but nobody has asked for it yet, so did not have motivation to complete the testing :)by bodhi - Debian
notmine & StephenR0, Thanks notmine for a really good report! It is encouraging to hear that Pogo E02 works with this Readycache in USB mode. We know that now we can eliminate big part of the problem. However, the problem StephenR0 saw still remain because it was with the GoFlex Net. And that was SATA connection problem. I've received the SSD yesterday and plugged it in the GoFlexby bodhi - Debian
Tom62, Dang! the NSA310 is really different from its big brothers :) I did not recall anybody reported that for NSA320, or perhaps I missed it? Thanks for testing Tom. I will be on the road in a few days, but will get you the updated kernel to fix the fan before that.by bodhi - Debian

@bertc3p0, Glad you've sorted it out! So I see you've installed Emdebian following Jeff's instruction. And your rootfs is emdebian, but you also updated the kernel with Linux-3.12.0-kirkwood-tld-3 ? how large is your rootfs now? I assume it fits the Dockstar remaining 255MB NAND without problem? did you have to remove any module?by bodhi - Debian
johnklos, See here: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11663by bodhi - uBoot
bertc3p0, If you want to boot from USB , then your bootcmd definitely has problem. If you want to boot from NAND then the rootfs must be in NAND, which is not there right now (your mtd1 name is data). If this was not the answer you're looking for, please post your output of printenv in serial console and tell us a little more details of what you're trying to do.by bodhi - Debian

The correct sequence to boot UART on a target that is quirky, for example Pogo V4 or Mobile: - connect to the host using SSH. - execute kwboot command on the host. It will start spining the / character clockwise direction. - reboot the target (or coldboot). You should see the / character starts spinning in counter clockwise direction (slower speed) when it tries to handshake. Wait a few seby bodhi - Debian
Mark, Here it is: kwboot md5: 0efd011bdb244436e432a8de33e639a1by bodhi - Debian
You can use f2fs as rootfs, but the /boot needs to be in ext2 or ext3 partition. So - create 2 partitions on your USB thumb using fdisk. 1st partition is bootable Linux, second is normal Linux. - format the 1st partition as ext2 or ext3 - format the 2nd partition as f2fs - extract rootfs to 2nd partition (see rootfs download and instruction in my signature) - copy /boot to 1st partition aby bodhi - Debian
Buttzy, I think the 2nd dump command is the right one (one that produces exact 512 KB) nanddump -nf uboot.mtd0.bak -l 0x80000 /dev/mtd0 The correct sequence is - execute kwboot command on the host (with option -p). It will start spining the / character clockwise direction. - reboot the NSA25. You should see the / character starts spinning in counter clockwise direction when it tries tby bodhi - Debian
Hi Mark, > I do like to try UART Booting but I only have one > PC with WIN7. I have kwboot binary only for ARM. I'm not sure if there is such a version for x86. Do you have another Kirwood plug that you can run it from? I thought you do have both the Pogo E02 and NSA320?by bodhi - Debian

Buttzy, The numbers in the header don't make sense to me! So let's just trial and error. Dump only 4 blocks (512K). nanddump -nof uboot.mtd0.bak -l 0x80000 /dev/mtd0 and (I doubt that the below will work, though) nanddump -nf uboot.mtd0.bak -l 0x80000 /dev/mtd0 See which one get the UART booting working :) If neither works then we're back to the drawing boaby bodhi - Debian
