Can not boot from a SSD disk in the esata slot.

[kurre]

Still no luck with the new U-Boot.
But this does not seems ok.
I have no usb drive attached but one storage device in esata.

Hmm, now no drives works in the esata slot.
Before I upgraded to the new U-Boot and linux 3.5.2 I just booted the system via an usb-SSD and mounted my 500 GB data drive (/dev/sdb in esata).
Now I still boot from the usb drive but the system does not find /dev/sdb in esata slots.
But U-Boot has only doing with the boot and the boot devices? Correct?
So the fault should be in the linux?
fdisk -l justs shows /dev/mtdblock0-/dev/mtdblock3 and /dev/sda, NO /dev/sdb.

Seems your ssd isn't compatible with u-boot... I don't know what else you can do.
And back to booting off of USB. Hmm, maybe sata needs to be initialized in u-boot to be recognised by the kernel then. We need a u-boot guru here. I cant test myself as mine gets booted off of a sata drive so obviously it sata works for me. Maybe you need to add sata reset to the uboot boot command. This is getting risky though. If something goes wrong you will need a working netconsole/serial or at worst a jtag.

viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3383&p=19819#p19819 wait for the guy to test this out. He has serial to recover.

Back to the old U-Boot and Linux 3.1 and it works to boot from usb and it see my second drive in esata.

Hey maybe you can help me out I am having this same problem.

How did you roll back to linux 3.1 ?

For the old uboot is this correct ?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/uInitrd
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/ubit_start
chmod +x ubit_start
./ubit_start
chain_install goflexhome
chain_revert
')


UPDATE: 3:30am 8/29

So I did the above without switching down to linux 3.1 and not really knowing what i was doing either way

with USB plugged only:
light flashes green a few times then turns off, no connection to router, no ssh

without anything plugged in:
light flashes green non-stop

with USB and sata HD:
light flashes green a few times then turns off, no connection to router, no ssh

with sata HD only:
light flashes green non-stop

I don't have serial access...for netconsole do I need to use a crossover cable to do that ?

[moonman]

I don't really know what chain_revert does, and you didn't "exit" I guess I would
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'uboot_install goflexnet
chain_install goflexnet
exit ')

For netconsole you don't have to use crossover IF it works through the router and you will probably have to use Linux to get netconsole to work both ways. (I can't send messages TO u-Boot from my mac for example). You probably just messed up the environment so get netconsole working.

[phatkiller]

well before this is exactly what i did

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/uInitrd
wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/goflex/v0.6/ubit_start
chmod +x ubit_start
./ubit_start
chain_install goflexhome
chain_revert
exit
reboot
')

Now I'm trying to do netconsole on a Netbook running Backtrack R5 once it loads and i login i do the following and get that error at the end.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
sudo ifconfig eth0:0 10.10.10.5
sudo ifconfig eth0:1 10.10.10.4
sudo ifconfig eth0:2 10.10.10.2
nc -lu 10.10.10.5 6666
UDP listen needs -p arg
')

I tried adding "nc -lup 10.10.10.5 6666" that doesnt work then i tried "nc -lu 10.10.10.5 6666 -p 6666" but none of that worked. Can you give me step by step on setting up netconsle because im not sure if im doing it right. I tried doing it via the router wouldnt work so i tried with crossover cable no luck either. Do I need to switch the routing ip address of my router right now default is 192.168.1.*** should i switch it to assing ip in range 10.10.10.*** ??

[moonman]

I don't know what version of nc backtrack comes with. I would try (k)ubuntu instead.

With backtrack you maybe the synatx is "nc -lup 6666 10.10.10.5" do "man nc". If it doesn't work just download ubuntu or kubuntu live cd. Those work for sure.

[phatkiller]

ok so downloaded ubuntu and what you see below is what i get

Drops me to the "Marvell>>" command prompt. I dont know where to go from there.
