Re: How to install Debian in a WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra: Definitive edition - 4 days ago
I see, boot_debian_usb=usb start; sleep 5; fatload usb 0:1 0x00800000 /boot/uImage; fatload usb 0:1 0x02100000 /boot/uRamdisk; bootm 0x00800000 0x02100000 bootcmd=run set_bootargs_debian; run boot_debian_usb; reset So you are still booting with the FAT USB drive using fatload.

Not that reason. You have updated u-boot so the initrd size is irrelevant. We need to changes some envs to make it boot HDD rootfs. Also make it boot USB if the HDDby bodhi - Debian

Chris, > do I need to copy now the uImage and uInitrd to > the stick? If you intend to use the stick as a rescue system then you should install the new kernel on the USB rootfs. Remove the HDD, and boot back to USB, and then do the kernel installation. If you don't think you would use the USB rootfs at all, then copying the kernel files only would be OK.

Hi Mischif , I've released kernel 6.3.5-mvebu-tld-1. QuoteKernel 6.3.5-mvebu-tld-1 package has been uploaded. New/Updated in this release: - General kernel upgrade.

OK Chris. I think since you are booting with a new kernel. You might need to reassamble the RAID array..

Re: Upgrading Debian Distribution - 6 days ago
Some more observation. For low RAM Kirkwood boxes (128MB, 256MB), we actually need to change the initramfs compression back to gzip. Both lzma and zstd are just too slow in these boxes.by bodhi - Debian
