Hello,
I am new to the group. Couple of days ago I managed to update my GoFlex Home drive following the instructions here:
https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5/seagate-goflex-home
It all went smoothly. I set the drive, smb plus some other the services and moved all my backup files back on freshly formatted drive. All was perfectly fine until I saw the post that u-boot v2014 can be upgraded to v2016 which should allow installation of newer than 4.4 kernels. Encouraged by previous success I haven't done all my homework and just executed pacman -S uboot-goflexhome. Things happened with no error messages so I rebooted the drive. Of course it didn't come up again. I noticed that there are lots of similar topics on the forum. I reviewed some of them but it all feels a bit overwhelming at the moment. Could somebody please take a quick look at netconsole messages and point me in the right direction. The kernel seems to boot but it gets stuck at some stage so I can't ssh or ping the drive anymore.
If the solution involves re-formatting rootfs perhaps I should do it on USB drive this time. I noticed that when system was booted from hard drive it was not possible to spin it down for longer than 3, 4 mins and this drive will be very rarely used. Please let me know if you agree that booting the system from USB and then mounting HDD would be better solution in this scenario.
