Re: Lenovo ix2-ng to put Debian Stretch and OMV4 - 3 years ago

Hi bodhi, Got it. Since there is an issue to boot into stock so I will not saveenv to save it permanently for now. I tried to power off and start it by follow your instruction and it still didn't work I tested without setting any new envs so I run bootcmd instead of bootcmd_stock since they are the same. We test it before and it was able to boot into stock. __ __

Re: Lenovo ix2-ng to put Debian Stretch and OMV4 - 3 years ago

Hi bodhi, It didn't work. Just want to clearify something first. From your post "And then you should boot back to serial console, save the stock bootcmd" do you mean? setenv bootcmd_stock 'ide reset; ide read 0x40000 0x800 0x1800; ide read 0x900000 0x2000 0x1800; setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root) $(bootargs_mtd) $(bootargs_end); bootm 0x40000 0x900000;

Re: Lenovo ix2-ng to put Debian Stretch and OMV4 - 3 years ago

Hi bodhi, Ah.. nvm. I think it's because I formatted both hard drives in OMV. Since stock U-boot was saved from the hard disk so it won't boot from stock anymore. Do you have any idea that if I can use the 1MB flash as the stock u-boot? Thanks codier

Hi bodhi, I tried the new envs and it worked great for USB debian but didn't work for stock.

Re: Lenovo ix2-ng to put Debian Stretch and OMV4 - 3 years ago

Hi bodhi, Thanks for the information. I have no knowledge for UART booting so I think I will just stick with the current env. I will wait for your next kernel, finalize the env and then save it after then. Codier

Thanks Bodhi, everything is working great. Just want to confirm if I saved those envs as long as I serial cable connection then I could rescue it anytime if those envs messed up. Codier

Re: Lenovo ix2-ng to put Debian Stretch and OMV4 - 3 years ago

Hi Bodhi, Got ya. I found an problem in my ix2-ng as there is always an extra USB device being detected. I have no clue what is this extra USB device. When I insert the Uboot USB there shows totally 2 USB devices. This way works for booting up the USB uboot.

Re: Lenovo ix2-ng to put Debian Stretch and OMV4 - 3 years ago

Strange. I use the same USB drive but with different set of variables. Maybe it's the coincidence. I changed to a new USB and confirmed the new envs are working. Should I regenerate the uInitrd boot file everytime if I see the following message? update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.2.9-kirkwood-tld-1 Thanks Codier

Re: Lenovo ix2-ng to put Debian Stretch and OMV4 - 3 years ago

Hi Bodhi, The systemd was working on my system so I think the guide is still valid. It stopped working after I installed OMV5 (Since your debian version is Buster now and only OMV5 can be installed). My USB is newly built so there is nothing. basically I will start from beginning and I will redo the steps to see if there is anything wrong. Just want to know if I am safe to saveenv for t

Hi bodhi, Is it because the flash is too small? my ix2-ng has only 1MB flash versus ix2-dl has 1GB. ix2-dl has already been digged into it. At least I saw few posts regarding to this model. Codier
