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

What's your environment:

at Marvell>> type in "printenv"

After I do that it disconnects

also here is uboot version

Yes your environment is messed up.
Can someone post a working environment for ubit please?

What's the reason you wanted to revert to old u-bit?

[phatkiller]

hey thanks for the all the replies/help moonman very much appreciated Im trying a few things I will update what i do just incase it fixes it and anyone else is in the same boat.

I had followed your post on how to update uboot to beable to update to the latest linux kernal with the hopes that i would be able to boot from sata or boot from usb with sata plugged in. After I updated everything, i lost access to the sata HD it wouldnt show up at all not with dmesg or fdisk -l. So i wanted to revert back to linux 3.1 and old uboot.

[moonman]

Have you tried putting ide reset in bootargs in the new u-boot to see if the hdd would be detected after this?

[moonman]

I think I found the environment that works here

It needs to be adapted for setenv though (i.e. remove "=" after each variable name and add setenv in front of each line)

[phatkiller]

Yeah and it didnt work thats why i tried to go back by doing:
$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
')

so being the genius(totally sarcastic) that i am i went in through netconsole and issued

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
Marvell>> setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; usb start; run force_rescue_bootcmd; run ubifs_bootcmd; run usb_bootcmd; usb stop; run rescue_bootcmd; run pogo_bootcmd; reset'

Now im stuck with it resetting itself not allowing me to reach the Marvell>> prompt anymore. netconsole stays connected just keeps showing this over and over and over and over

update:
ok i was able to get Marvell>> prompt again by pressing CTRL+T gonna try those settings you posted above.

[moonman]

K, I formatted this thing for you. Just copy-paste into Marvell prompt and then "saveenv". Don't forget to edith your mac address under ethaddr variable.

Ok so I couldnt copy and paste the whole thing so i did it one by one. I left out these twobecause when i did this it would reset or hang.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
setenv ethaddr MYMAC
setenv ipaddr '10.0.10.6'
')

This is printenv after

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

printenv
baudrate=115200
ext2_auto=ext2load $boot_dev $addr_rd /boot/uInitrd
boot_auto=rd_args='rootfstype=auto'; run boot_rd
')



The whole thing wouldnt print in just one nc terminal so before i ran "PRINTENV" command i would open another terminal running nc again and got this as part of the printenv

Still wont boot from usb any ideas ?

[moonman]

are you going through the router or direct crossover connection? seems strange that you don't get full output.
