Lenovo Iomega ix2, Kernel does not start

[birnbaum]

Hi, I am new to the ARM world.
I am currently trying to get Arch Linux ARM running on my NAS system (Lenovo Iomega ix2).
I found some instructions for installing debian on the predecessor of the NAS: http://iomega.nas-central.org/wiki/Ix2-200_Debian_Installation
So I thought it might be possible to run ARCH on the new version.

I already have serial access.

The U-Boot bootloader startup looks like this:

I downloaded ArchLinuxARM-kirkwood-latest.tar.gz and unpacked it to a new ext3 partition on an USB stick.

then I set the following environment variables in uboot
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1 rw rootwait pm_disable
bootcmd=usb start; ext2load usb 0 0x6400000 /boot/uImage; bootm 0x6400000
arcNumber=2097
')
I have no Idea about the arcNumber. Is this essential?
I found a list here: http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/machines/download.php, however I do not know how to select one.

A complete printout of the u-boot environment looks like this (including some old environment stuff, from the previous debian system):

I found some information about this problem here: http://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/Common_Problems_-_Linux_kernel_doesnt_boot however, I do not really understand this Machine ID stuff and I have the feeling, that the serial port should be the right one, as I have seen it this way in the orinigal kernel:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Kernel command line: console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram0 :::DB88FXX81:eth0:none mtdparts=nand_mtd:0x80000@0(uboot),0x20000@0xa0000(env),0x20000@0xc0000(env2),0x300000@0x100000(uImage),0x400000@0x400000(initrd),0x3f800000@0x800000(boot),1024m@0x0(flash)')

However I forgot to backup the original boot environment before overwriting it. I only have an old startup log, with a successful Linux bootup:

I will be very happy, if someone could point me in the right direction. Is it even possible to run the provided Arch Linux ARM kernels on not explicitly supported platforms?

Can you see what env default -a does, it resets to default but not permanent until you saveenv
Then you type boot, reset loads the save environment then boots

So make changes and boot, not permanent unless you saveenv

I now tried to load the stock Linux kernel, shipped with the device, which still resides in NAND memory.
I retrieved the addresses of the kernel image + ramdisk image from the log, where the original linux sucessfully booted.
I used the kernel parameters the kernel printed on bootup and stored them to the u-boot "bootargs" environment variable.
Loaded the images to ram and tried to boot.

Still stopping after "Starting kernel ..."

so it seems, that I am doing something wrong with booting.
(I am getting really angry at myself for not looking at the original u-boot environment)
