Re: Uboot to support different name of uImage - 11 years ago

@habibie, It is possible if Jeff can add this option to his installation script. But this change will effect a lot of sites out there that are using his script to install Kirkwood plugs. Their documentation will need to change to reflect this. I would imagine that the script must be changed in a way that people just say "yes" or press Enter to ignore the option of using different nam

Re: Can only access to GoFlex Home 3TB with rescue - need help - 11 years ago

@servercat, Without seeing your current uBoot envs, it's hard to tell exactly what the problem is. However, I'm guessing: - Since you can only boot from the rescue roofts on a USB stick, it means the rescue is setup to load from the stick, not from NAND. - The problem with a lot bad blocks shown in dmesg, and then fw_printenv responds with "Too few good blocks within range

Re: GoFlex Home doesn't connect to router / maybe doesn't boot correctly - 11 years ago

If you are booting with a USB thumb drive, 1st thing to do is to mount that stick to a different Linux box and check for error with e2fsck. You did not say your boot drive was formatted ext2 or ext3, but if it was ext2 then when the power went down its file system must have been corrupted.

Re: Linux Kernel 3.8.11 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago

Since you've installed Arch, your uBoot envs will probably need to be adjusted in order to boot Debian. Please login into Arch, and print your uBoot envs with fw_printenv and post the output here. Usually it is just a couple of simple changes.

Re: A new uboot patch to support >2TB HDD? - 11 years ago

@pancho22, Good news! the new uBoot build I just created does work with >2TB HDD. This is when the HDD is attached as a second drive formatted as EXT3. http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381,12890#msg-12890 Running without netconsole works fine. With netconsole, a work around is needed as described in that post. I'll upload it for testing sometime today.

Re: U-Boot for Device-Tree Kernel - 11 years ago

I've finally figured out these netconsle problems in the later uBoot versions and how work around them. Testing with u-boot.2013.07-rc1 1. netconsole input driver seems to regress. Second character in command got lost consistenly. This is due to a recursion logic in drivers/net/netconsole.c that processes characters from a buffer. I modified the recursion logic slightly and it seems to

Re: Can only access to GoFlex Home 3TB with rescue - need help - 11 years ago

@servercat, You could mount the stick on another Linux box and convert it to Ext2, it's quite simple to do. Use tune2fs command.

Cool! You could try to fix your old stick now. It is certainly easier to do that since you are in Debian.

Re: Linux Kernel 3.8.11 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago

@postman, Before installing kernel, what do you have? can you ssh in? What's your output when you run dpkg -i to install? if you got error and didn't not generate initrd.img, then you can't boot Debian. And I guess you've determined that you have Topkick? (according to Arch site there are 2 variations). The Topkick patch is available in Arch Linux ARM master patch fil

Re: Linux Kernel 3.8.11 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago

Syong, I've attached the uBoot image in this post. Basically, netconsole is broken for me in that whenever I try to run a command, the 2nd character is lost. For example, printenv becomes pintenv. If I run prrintenv then it would work OK. Since we have uBoot envs scripted as several chained commands, this causes other boot commands envs to abort. So you can't boot with netconso

Re: Linux Kernel 3.8.11 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago

See Davy's post: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,7852,7852 The NSA320 has the boot ROM version that supports UART booting. So if you have serial console, you can boot in UART mode, it will not execute your installed uBoot. The kwboot tool mentioned in Davy's post is pretty good. I can boot a Pogo E02 uBoot image on a GoFlex Net for sanity check. Of coure it won't complet

Re: Linux Kernel 3.8.11 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago

Thanks Syong, Have you tried UART booting? Perhaps you could try my Goflex Net uBoot build to see if you see the same Netconsole problem?

Re: Linux Kernel 3.8.11 Kirkwood package and rootfs (Non Flattened Device Tree) - 11 years ago

@syong & chessplayer, For your NSA320, do you use Davy's uBoot: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nwt2kbvetvgvroo/e-pNtdMhCC/Kirkwood/rootfs_images/NSA320quickstart or do you use the stock uBoot? if you use Davy's uBoot, could you post that uBoot version number here. Thanks,

Re: howto write uboot to nand - 11 years ago

You can do this. But first you will need to verify if the Guruplug mtd0 has stock uBoot in the similar way the other plugs have. And flash it in a similar fashion as described in this thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,11663 I don't recall reading about Guruplug in this forum. So I really can't say whether the same procedure will apply. So please use your own judgment.

I had tried this with the 2nd SATA disk, and this problem indeed occurs for my GoFlexNet too. Never noticed before! I'll look around to see if people have reported it on Arch site.
