Re: HowTo restore full system after voltage drop - 11 years ago
@beeryourself, Make a clone of your stick and change it back to Ext2 file system. Try booting with it first to make sure everything works. With Jeff's script, UBoot env for the rootfs type is set to Ext2. Afer you booted successfully into Debian, you can see that with fw_printenv. You can change the UBoot rootfs type to Ext3 and change your USB stick file system to Ext3. But I wouldby bodhi - Debian
Re: GoFlex Net: Boot from USB while SATA disks connected - 11 years ago
@cyb, Concurred with what Davy said, I'd suggest that you label the rootfs that you want to boot with, and set the UBoot env to find it. # fw_setenv usb_init "run usb_scan; setenv usb_root LABEL=rootfs"by bodhi - uBoot
Re: Multiboot on Dockstar with Uboot - 11 years ago
Assuming you have multiboot , a menu would be presented and wait for input, you have to select which system to boot anyway. So what is the benefit of not having to physically remove the USB stick? is there a use-case that you can describe?by bodhi - uBoot

Re: Some Uboot and migrating questions. - 11 years ago
Debian method of upgrading (in summary): 1. Specify in apt sources.list what distribution to get the packages from. Below is "wheezy" example. Currently your 2.6.x is stable and it's "squeeze". So you should see the mirror name URL and "squeeze" in /etc/apt/sources.list # cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian wheezy main 2. Runby bodhi - uBoot

Re: Goflex Home can't boot from SATA with 3TB USB plugged in - 11 years ago
I think you can just run Jeff's Wheezy install script and it should work. But I have not tried it (I have never used the UBit install scripts), so I can't say if it will detect the old installtion and deal with it successfully.by bodhi - uBoot

Re: 3.3.2 kernel, how to get kernel messages via nc? - 11 years ago
I digged out an old spared SATA HDD, and put my current Debian rootfs on it. This is the info from my GoFlex Home booting with SATA as the boot drive (and the only drive). I shutdown and cold started several times (more than 5 times just to be sure).

Could you post your UBoot envs? I'm going to dig out the log when I still boot the GFHome with SATA. Hope I can find it :-)by bodhi - Debian

Re: 3.3.2 kernel, how to get kernel messages via nc? - 11 years ago
@floodo, I looked at the kirwood initialization code briefly. Running the GF Home with GF Net initialization code could cause problem during SATA device registration (i.e. the GoFlex Net has 2 ports, the GF Home has only 1 port). Since 2nd device's data structure could contain garbage at some point, it's possible that the kernel choke while trying to register the 2nd SATA device. Jusby bodhi - Debian
Re: Can't change LED on GoFlex Home? - 11 years ago
Yeah, I got that from your other posts, you're actually running the GF Net using the GF Home hardware! I think that's why the heartbeat LED is available. EDIT: strange, I don't see the heartbeat in GoFlex Net LEDs, either!by bodhi - Debian
Re: 3.3.2 kernel, how to get kernel messages via nc? - 11 years ago
floodo, One thing I've noticed that both you and Sagitarius have arcNumber 3089, which is the GoFlex Net, not GoFlex Home (they are supposed to work for both boxes but there are differences ). You could try to set it to the correct one, which is 3338. I'm running the GoFlex Homes with Jeff's UBoot, arcNumber 3338, and a self compiled kernel (3.2.18), with USB flash as bootby bodhi - Debian
Re: 3.3.2 kernel, how to get kernel messages via nc? - 11 years ago
Which Debian version are you using (uname -a)? what is your arcNumber ? also, is your UBoot the latest (Davy's) or Jeff's?by bodhi - Debian
Re: 3.3.2 kernel, how to get kernel messages via nc? - 11 years ago
If you're using Ext2 for the SATA drive, then I would plug the SATA drive into a USB interface, connect it to another Linux box and check the file system with e2fsck to see if it was corrupted.by bodhi - Debian

Re: Can't change LED on GoFlex Home? - 11 years ago
To turn on the green LED, add controls statements to end of your /etc/rc.local, right before exit 0, as shown below: if [ -d /sys/class/leds/status:green:health ]; then echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/status:green:health/trigger fi if [ -d /sys/class/leds/dockstar:green:health ]; then echo default-on > /sys/class/leds/dockstar:green:health/trigger echo none > /syby bodhi - Debian
Re: Do we have a working patch for the latest 3.2 Wheezy kernel? - 11 years ago
Vlad, I ran into the same problem with that patch compiling 3.2.18. And I could not find any patch that works. So I went back to the Arch Linux ARRM July 2011 patch for goflex Net and goflex Home (it does not have the Pogoplug V4, though). It would be nice to have a good up-to-date patch for Wheezy we can all use! I've attached the file here in case you want to take a look. Updateby bodhi - Debian

Re: goFlex Home, can't get sata to work at all - 11 years ago
@floodo1, Use the information about seting rootfs label and UBoot envs in optim's post (read a few posts before that). It's foolproof, you'll never worry about booting the wrong drive again! Besides, this rootfs label convention is used widely, good to follow it. -bodhiby bodhi - uBoot
Re: Help! My DockStar Squeeze don't boot anymore. - 11 years ago
That's really strange! the Dockstar is 2998. I'm wondering whether you have somehow inadvertenly flashed an incorrect UBoot?by bodhi - Debian
Re: Help! My DockStar Squeeze don't boot anymore. - 11 years ago
I saw you're booting OK now with 2998?. The last unsuccessful reboot could have been something to do with the network udev rules after you've done apt-get upgrade (I am guessing). If you're curious, you could mount the stick on a different box and look at the log files or the udev rules to see if it was reset or messed up.by bodhi - Debian
Re: Help! My DockStar Squeeze don't boot anymore. - 11 years ago
@funtoy, As optim said, your kernel probably does not have LED supports. arcNumber 2998 for Dockstar requires a kernel with LED supports. What is the output of uname -a and the content of your apt source list ? -bodhiby bodhi - Debian
Re: Howto: Build a new Debian kernel with LED support - 11 years ago
cyb, You could download davygravy's kernel deb for 3.1.9 and use his config http://ppl.ug/cnl1R63ZOBM/ Note: In the linked post, I compiled natively on the Pogoplug E02. And leaving out "-arch armel" parameter works OK as mentioned. -bodhiby bodhi - Debian
Re: Goflex Home: A new brick? - 11 years ago
Daniel, That's the expected behavior. Once you installed new UBoot and boot with USB/HDD drive with ALARM on it, it's a basic Linux system you're running. So you will need to install SAMBA to make the shared folders appear in the local network. You could now try the Debian rootfs provided by Dave (posted in this forum, username davygravy). Just create a USB stick in the sameby bodhi - uBoot
Re: Goflex Home: A new brick? - 11 years ago
Daniel, iirc, with ALARM fresh rootfs, the login is user: root, password: root. You can ssh in using root/root. After logged in, change root password to something else, and to verify to make sure the success installation: do a reboot (warm start): shutdown -r now and then later shutdown: shutdown -h now then power up (cold start) -bodhiby bodhi - uBoot
