Re: unbrick NSA310 and set up environement - 2 months ago
disconnect all the hard drives, only connect the usb boot drive. (with kernel and root file system) kwboot change the "set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=LABEL=rootfs rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params" to set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10 $mtdparts $custom_params try boot it againby daviddyer - uBoot
Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 2 months ago
The fw_env.config you previously used was for other kirkwood boxes, such as dockstar / goflex home / goflex net / PogoE02 /etc. I guess it was the default in the root file system Bodhi built for us. Since fw_env.config is corrected, I guess you can try to flash the new u-boot now. Back up current env first. This box can do kwboot so no worries about bricking it.by daviddyer - Debian

fw_env.config is wrong... Here is mine root@m300:~# cat /etc/fw_env.config # Dell KACE M300 # MTD device name Device offset Env. size Flash sector size Number of sectors /dev/mtd1 0x0 00001000 0x00001000by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Remote print settings - 3 months ago
Well, if you do command line, it should be easy suppose your NAS can access the printer HP1022, to print a pdf, just upload the file_to_print.pdf to the nas, then run lp -d HP1022 file_to_print.pdfby daviddyer - Debian
Re: PogoPlug E02 unusable - 3 months ago
You can boot to debian, you have root, just install new u-boot and u-boot env, then all problems will be solved. ...will be happy ever after... Don't play with old U-boot.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: PogoPlug E02 unusable - 4 months ago
Updating u-boot / u-boot enviroment in Debian, should be an easy job. Bodhi has been doing so much for us! With Bodhi's modern u-boot, booting Debian will be very easy. https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381 E02 has only 256MB flash. Not enough for Debian. You can install openwrt as a backup system / rescue system.by daviddyer - Debian

Re: PogoPlug E02 unusable - 4 months ago
Change the root=Label=rootfs to root=/dev/sda1 and tftp boot again. Also, I think you used kernel 5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1, while making the the uImage with the embeded dtb, the -n should be changed accordingly. Yours showed as Image Name: Linux-4.4.0-kirkwood-tld-1.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: dreamplug - 5 months ago
Don't use the usb port of Dreamplug to get electricity for your SATA drive. I think it is limited to 0.5A (500mA). I soldered the 5V to the power supply connector on the motherboard and it worked flawlessly. (2.5" Laptop hard drive, so only 5V is needed)by daviddyer - Debian

Try to press the ram chip hard and boot again ... If there's a contact problem, that might solve it.by daviddyer - Rescue System

Re: revive Medion oxnas stg-212 - 6 months ago
These boxes are at least 10 years old. The power supply materials are not as good as those in the box. Most of the times, the capacitor fails. Just try with a good 12V/1A power supply. If you don't use hard drive, just boot from usb flash drive, 12V/1A is good enough. You have nothing to lose. Why not try it?by daviddyer - Rescue System
Re: revive Medion oxnas stg-212 - 6 months ago
Well, when decompression starts, it will use a lot more power, if the power supply is not good, system might die. I had a few failed boxes, after I changed the power supply, they came back to life.by daviddyer - Rescue System
Re: revive Medion oxnas stg-212 - 6 months ago
Maybe you should check the power supply. Use a reliable power supply to power itby daviddyer - Rescue System

Re: New Computer Parts - 6 months ago
I buy these trash at eBay... Got a few Dell Optiplex 7010 motherboards, mod it (add a few jumpers, it can be used as a normal ATX board)., mod bios, add nvme support. These boards are cheap. About $12 shipped for a motherboard to US lower 48 states. You can use Dell OEM Windows 7 Pro and it will activate automatically. And then you can install Windows 10 Pro.

Is it traditional MBR partition or GPT? GPT is not supported in this u-boot yet.by daviddyer - Debian
Re: Problem booting debian rootfs on pogoplug-pro - 11 months ago
Most likely, you did not name your root file system "rootfs". Mount it to another linux box, suppose that partition is /dev/sdb1, then do sudo tune2fs -L rootfs /dev/sdb1 sync; umount, remove usb, replug to pogopro, then try to boot pogopro again.by daviddyer - Debian

Failed to mount /dev/sdc1 as root file system. Maybe your root file system's label is NOT rootfs. It should be labeled rootfs for the system to work.by daviddyer - Debian
