[How-To] Boot Entirely from SATA

[obaltus]

I guess, it overwrote the first one.
Now I have the following settings;

Code: Select all

setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sda2 console=ttyS0,115200 elevator=cfq mac_adr=0x00,0x30,0xe0,0x00,0x00,0x01 rootwait ubi.mtd=2,512"
setenv bootcmd "run dload1 boot || run dload2 boot || lightled"
setenv dload1 "diskboot 60500000 0:1"
setenv dload2 "diskboot 60500000 0:2"


Now, it is booting than kind of looping with a bad magic number in between. Any idea?

Code: Select all

Thanks for your help, now it is booting the kernel! But it hangs while trying to initialize the NAND. How can I prevent it from trying to initialize the NAND? Setting arcNumber to 3975? recompiling uboot or a new kernel?

I would say that the easiest would be a different kernel.

I suppose this discussion should be a different thread however.

Hi WarheadsSE,

Thank you for doing this for the community. I know I started asking you this disc image, and you come to the rescure with this method. I have been very busy with other part of my life. Just got time to do this today. The prototype works great. I did used a SATA disc and external power adapter for the disc, it seem working fine with my POGOPLUG PRO.

I have two questions for you:

1. Why does the green light keep flushing?
2. Is it possible that I can flush the boot sector to the on-board memory (NAND?) so I do not need to use a SATA disc directly connected to the internal board? To give you some back groud, when I was trying to install the system, in middle of it, I quit a little too early that messed us the onboard boot sector. I do not like to mess with the external power supply to a bare SATA kit.

Thank you agian for this boot image. It made my POGOPLUG Pro usuable again.

"Flashing" and yes, it can be done, as mentioned multiple times by people that have done that for themselves in this thread.

Check that a certain module is loaded. Look in /etc/rc.d/set-oxnas-mac, for the module's name. Might need to `depmod -a`

[youngbilly]

Thanks.

I know you want us to search for how to flush the NAND with your boot sector. Can you or somebody else please point me what to search if I want to flush the NAND with the boot sector created by WarheadsSE? I don't mind my system a little slow, just dislike the wires to the SATA disc.

My stage1 will not boot nand.

Thanks WarheadsSE for your work on this device. Now I figured out how to restore to the original firmware. I had to read a couple thread and it went smoothly. Hope you don't mind I post the general steps here.

For those who messed up the NAND boot sector, here is what I did after I boot using SATA method listed in this thread:

1. Go to this post by WarheadsSE here. Make sure you can do all the steps listed there. You can copy it and paste to your SSH terminal.
2. wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/oxnas/oxnas-revert.sh. Make sure it is excutable: chmod 700 oxnas-revert.sh
3. ./oxnas-revert.sh
4. Unplug the power, unplug the SATA disc, reboot.
5. Done.

Now, you can login at https://my.pogoplug.com/, start from scratch from here to redo your linux install.

You really don't need to revert to fix like that.. but I guess you get the end result when you nuke toast..
