dinjo, This looks good for booting with USB, and SATA in this order (if the rootfs is on USB then it will boot, if not then boot SATA): Can you verify these are the commands i need to run to boot from sata fw_setenv sata_boot 'ide reset; mw 0x800000 0 1; ext2load ide 0:1 0x800000 /boot/uImage; if ext2load ide 0:1 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd; then bootm 0x800000 0x1100000; else bootm 0xby bodhi - Debian
dinjo, Looks great :) this ubifs error is expected, can safely be ignored. It's really depend how you use the GF Net. If you want to mount NTFS HDD so that you can unplug it and connect it on Windows, then I would boot with USB, but more setup step needed to make sure you don't wear out the USB thumb. The safest and best way is to boot with HDD rootfs. A few uBoot envs need toby bodhi - Debian
The server side is your Pogo E02? should be 192.168.1.104 Your GoFlex Net should be 192.168.1.110 (verify it with ifconfig like you did) Server side has to be running these 2 nc commands first. And then reboot the GoFlex Net. And remember to backup your GoFlex Net rootfs, since you are going to modify it quite a bit with apt-get upgrade.by bodhi - Debian

No need to, you've already running my latest kernel and latest rootfs. This rootfs has kernel 3.11.1 and the apt source is wheezy (look in /etc/apt/sources.list). So from now on, from time to time when you want to get the latest package versions, then: apt-get update apt-get upgrade You don't really need to update the kernel, if you don't need the latest changes.

dinjo, Congrats! you are all set. I would not bother with rescue system. If you set up netconsole, and test it to make sure it is working, you don't need rescue system at all. If you encounter any problem in the future, then just use netconsole to monitor uBoot, get into uBoot prompt and recover. Rescues system also had caused some problems lately for some users, so if you can do withoutby bodhi - Debian
lewy1, Currently, Jeff's Wheezy script has problem with debootstrap. You should run the installation again with the Squeeze script and then after booting into Debian, upgrade to Wheezy. If even the Squeeze script does not work then try this rootfs 3.11.1 (you've already installed uBoot successfully). http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096by bodhi - Debian

OK, let state the instruction from this thread http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096 once more time. Updated 01 Oct 2013: Rootfs 3.11.1 was uploaded. This rootfs is to keep in sync with kernel Linux-3.11.1-kirkwood-tld-1 (and its new features). ..... Installation: - format a new ext3 USB drive, and label it rootfs (this means only one Ext3 partition on this USB stick). - cdby bodhi - Debian
I think it's likely running out of RAM. When you run Debian on the Pro, a big junk of memory is taken already. It's best to have swap on USB, even though you don't intent to use it in normal operation. Use a swapfile so it can be turned on/off easily in rc.local.by bodhi - Debian

Jeff's Squeeze script flashes kernel 2.6.3x.xx to the USB drive. The only thing that's changed in NAND is mtd0 for uBoot. Since your uBoot installation was good (according to the log), the problem is with the USB rootfs that you're using. So that's why I think it's worth trying to create USB boot drive using my uploaded rootfs. If you can post the log of how you create tby bodhi - Debian
Ah! then I am not sure. Because it works fine on GoFlex Net. I might have to check the ALARM patch to see if they have updated it since I extracted the patch a while ago. The new patch to the 3 files I mentioned above should work the same way on GoFlex Net and NSA320. @pbg4, Did this patch work in your build?by bodhi - Debian

Guys, Does it look like the back plate of this Nsa320 can be removed ? I saw only 2 top screws. I would get this box if I can run it without the fan. Thanksby bodhi - Debian
Do you have the log when you run dockstar.debian-squeeze.sh the first time? It shows how uBoot was installed, and anything abnormal occurred during that step. Blinking green and never got to solid green means that either the kernel (uImage) and initrd (uInitrd) were not loaded successfully. But it does not mean the box is bricked.

max, Before you run Jeff script, try setting netconsole if you don't have serial console: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,14 Once you are in netconsole, you can print out the uBoot envs and other stuff. If you want to run Jeff's script to replace uBit with the latest uBoot version, it is best if you have serial console connected. If you don't, it is a little risky, sby bodhi - Debian
dinjo, Please be more specific when you post, I did not realize that you have booted OK into Debian. Did you? Rescue system is not really necessary if you have either serial console, or netconsole to recover from problem. So if you don't like messing up wth hardware, setup netconsole right away after you've booted successfully into Debian.by bodhi - Debian
After you ssh in, what's the output of these commands? uname -a cat /etc/fw_env.config fw_printenv dmesgby bodhi - Debian
See my response on the other thread. Now pls keep only this thread going.by bodhi - Debian
dinjo, If you have not rebooted, then set up netconsole first. And then use 3.11.1 my rootfs to boot. Once you're successfully booted, if not yet have netconsole then set it up the first thing. Only after it is running OK, then you can change arcNumber to the GoFlex Net.by bodhi - Off-Topic
