@shv, Nice works! interesting to see the hard numbers. Have you tried Ext2 to see if read performance is back to normal? @ingmar_k, QuoteStill very interesting to see that the old kernel performs best, when it comes to SATA.. Indeed!

@shv, Not at the moment. We can boot 2.6.3xx Arch Linux ARM kernel but not Debian.by bodhi - uBoot
@shv, Awesome! thanks for letting me now. So either my eSATA enclosure is not recognized, or the u-boot-spl.bin was not dd correctly (which I'd doubt to be the case because I used WarheadsSE's disk_create script to do that).by bodhi - uBoot
@shv, I did not want to commit to GitHub before testing. I'm having problem booting with the SATA spl. It did not get loaded by ROM during powered up. I don't know if my eSata enclosure is the culprit or not (I don't have a 22 pin-eSATA+power cable to try a direct connect right now). Here attached is the updated board/ox820/ox820.c file. You could try to rebuild with it. If yby bodhi - Debian

@shv, I found an inconsistency between NAND and FAT compilation options. That was why the LED flashing code that I've added compiled for NAND but not for FAT. U-Boot has built OK now. Would you like to test it?by bodhi - Debian

Shv, I dont think my spl image works in SATA mode. But you could try. NAND and SATA versions are built differently. I'd doubt that it would work.by bodhi - Debian

Since a lot of people have been getting the Pogo V4/Mobile lately, just thought I'd repost the download link to one of my Pogo V4s original MTDs here.

purplelizard, Try these in order: 1. First, make sure you've created the rootfs as root user. If you did then try the next 2 tests. 2. Format the single partition to ext3, re-extract the rootfs to it, again as root. In netconsole, change rootfs type to ext3 using setenv, but don't save. Boot. 3. If no 2 did not work, restart. And in netconsole, remove the rootfstype using setenvby bodhi - uBoot

vaidyasr, - You are not running (Flatten Device Tree) FDT kernel, so don't worry about it. - Your u-boot envs look good! except that you don't have netconsole running at boot. If you want to run it so you can observe boot progress: ./fw_setenv preboot 'run preboot_nc'by bodhi - uBoot

absintos, You can add earlyprintk to kernel bootargs (depending what your bootargs looks like, just add it to the end). For example: usb_set_bootargs=setenv bootargs console=$console root=$usb_root rootdelay=$usb_rootdelay rootfstype=$usb_rootfstype $mtdparts earlyprintk=serial And look at dmesg in serial console ouput.
