GoFlex Home not working after update uboot

[WarheadsSE]

That looks sound.

So what should I do then?

If the uboot looks fine, it should be the linux problem then? I would like to try reinstall onto the SATA, but the devicE would not boot if I have SATA in.

A little progress.

I just noticed that somehow my device is recognized by uboot as GoFlex Net (See my uboot log in previous post). But I am very certain that my device is in fact GoFlex Home, so this is very weird.

What I ended up doing is boot the device with USB, change the arcNumber to 3089, and repeat the upgrade process (this time I set it to try USB first then SATA). Below is the fw_printenv, I think repeating the upgrade process messed up the environment a little:

After this I rebooted the device. At this point, the device will have kernel panic if I only leave SATA in the device. The kernel panic seems to due to rootfs in SATA not being ext3.

Oddly though, the device can boot into the archlinux on SATA if I have both usb and SATA in the device. I checked the mount, and it showed that rootfs (on /dev/sda1) is mounted as ext2. I tried "tune2fs -j /dev/sda1" to convert it to ext3, and reboot the device. Now the device can boot up properly with only SATA in.

I have only 2 remaining questions:
1: Why is my device recognized as GoFlex Net by Uboot?
2: The environment from fw_printenv seems quite messy, and the u-boot log from netconsole shows some error at the beginning. The device does boot into archlinux without much problem, so Should I just keep the environment this way? If I need to clean up the environment, what should I do?

1.AFAIK the same u-boot is used for Net and Home
2.You said log shows some errors... what errors?
