StephenR0, Thanks for a testing with this SSD. I agreed, it seems uBoot has problem reading Sandisk SSD descriptor. I looked at uBoot code for this process, and it is a common function for all SATA. I have some idea how to test/fix this, but atm I don't have the same SSD to test with. Newegg's sale price is quite good for a 32GB SSD (30 USD) so I'm ordering one to use as boot drby bodhi - uBoot
Buttzy, What gaogao found was only LED trigger ide-disk1 or ide-disk2 works for both drives. I don't know if the NSA3xx SATA port numbers have anything to do with it. On the GoFlex Net it works correctly.by bodhi - Debian
SOL, See how Buttzy got it working with my rootfs Debian installed on HDD in the sticky thread here (should read a few posts before and the rest): http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096,14406#msg-14406 I'd suggest you use serial console, and set uBoot envs using setenv, and test booting Debian. Don't do saveenv while you are in uBoot command line. After you've satisifiedby bodhi - Debian
Restamp is right: that the current uBoot does not understand 3TB drive. To use it with this uBoot, one must format it as a hybrid MBR. So 2 partitions, a small one and a larger one. uBoot will only see the 1st one, and the kernel will see both. I guess that's what isptrader tried to do. The new uBoot I built recently can boot a 3TB GPT drive, but it needs to be flashed manually in Linux oby bodhi - uBoot
Did you try both SATA slots? (in the past, the GoFlex Net had problem booting on the left slot, but I have not tried to verify it lately). I normally use the right slot. Also please post the model number here!by bodhi - uBoot

Ah! of course you're right :) yes. BTW, some people reported that the ide-disk1 and 2 did not work for them (I think gaogao). So, it'd be good to see the actual HDDs triggers in action, when you have the 2 disks connectecd.by bodhi - Debian
It also has /sys/class/leds/nsa320:green:sys/trigger, see this post: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096,13642#msg-13642 And that's where I think we should use echo to control the LEDs for individual HDDs.by bodhi - Debian
Buttzy, It's great to break new ground :) What about the system LEDS constrol? (not hdd1 or hdd2). See pbg4 posts in this thread. It should show ide-disk1 and 2 also. I build kernels natively using a mini-farm (1 GoFlex Net and 3 Pogoplug E02 nfs cluster). Just the standard commands (make-kpkg, and the rest) to build and use distcc to distribute the load.

You're the first to get the NSA325 to boot on Debian 3.12.x that I knew of :) Awesome! The key point is setenv bootcmd_linux 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_linux); usb reset; ext2load usb 0:1 $(loadaddr) /boot/uImage; ext2load usb 0:1 0x01100000 /boot/uInitrd; bootm $(loadaddr) 0x01100000' So you can adjust this address if uBoot ever have problem loading the kernel and initrdby bodhi - Debian

Buttzy, Did you check to see if the NSA has UART booting (bootROM v 1.21): http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852 The nanddump could just be: nanddump -nof uboot.mtd0.bak /dev/mtd0 Or you could use Davygravy's image, too in this thread http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,7806 This command is correct (if the image is ready-for-NAND format, then -p must be used for kwboot toby bodhi - Debian
Buttzy, Do you have serial console connected? it's best to do that before you play with uBoot envs. The stock uBoot does not have netconsole. That loadaddr I believe is where stock uBoot load the kernel uImage (that's how I understood WarheadsSE set it up so users can restore to stock easily). I don't have the NSA325, so I can help you but it must be done with serial console.by bodhi - Debian

Buttzy, I will upload a new rootfs tonight. Your problem is still in uBoot. Nothing about kernel yet. Check the arcNumber for NSA325. It should match the machid.by bodhi - Debian
Almaz, The dialog is just another package that usually used whenever you install a package, missing it does not hurt anything, because the apt-get falls back to teletype. I did not install it since I expect users to install it when they see the errors (will do that for the next release to keep it simpler, it looks like a problem but it is not). So: apt-get install dialog should fix it.by bodhi - Debian

Yes. arcNumber needs to be set to the GoFlex Home number. The script does not set arcNumber. Because it has no way of knowing if you have a kernel that supports it. Main line kernel does not have the patch for GF Home. Hence, the purpose of my kernel and rootfs builds.by bodhi - Rescue System

Mount the stick on another box and examine /boot directory. uImage and uInitrd are missing from that directory then Squeeze installation was not successful.by bodhi - Debian
Don't need to use gparted. Use fdisk to create partition, and e2fsck to format as ext3. Just a precaution to make sure that it is MBR partition. If you can use fdisk to list partition, and see that it is not GPT, then it's fine. Sometime you need to power down and cold boot, instead of reboot to see if Squueze was installed OK.by bodhi - Debian
You should install Squeeze and and then upgrade to Wheezy: http://projects.doozan.com/debian/ then change /etc/apt/sources.list to point to wheezy, and apt-get update apt-get upgrade Or use this ready-made rootfs: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096by bodhi - Debian
