$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('peaslaker', 'R')ight. I got bored with this and plugged in my serial console.

The Debian 3.6.32-5-kirkwood kernel doesn't support the GoFlex Net machine ID:


Sounds very good. Thank you for that.

It puzzles me a little: I thought we were booting a Debian ramdisk (initramfs-2.6.32-5-kirkwood) but a UBIT kernel (Linux-2.6.36-ubit-01575-gd36fea8)? But the problem is then that the ramdisk should also support Goflex Net?

Another thing: why does it work for me? Am I just very lucky? ;)

The functionality of a ramdisk has no bearing on the running of the system. Just the booting. That functionality is custom to the ramdisk. The UBIT ramdisk has excellent documentation on this site and is matched to the boot functionality of the matching UBIT U-Boot images. support for the GoFlex Net began with the UBIT project.

Obviously I am biased. I don't think there is a compelling argument to use a Debian ramdisk.

When version 0.6 of UBIT launches ease of use improves yet again. Changes in the version 0.5 boot parameters broke the previous instructions. These should now work for 0.5 onward.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('peaslaker', '.').. We need to add a copy of the UBIT kernel's modules to the root filesystem:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
mount -t ubifs ubi:modules /mnt
# obviously replacing with your actual kernel version
cp -pr /mnt/lib/modules/2.6.xx-ubit-NNNNN-gMMMMMM /lib/modules/
umount /mnt
')


Hi peaslaker,
that step does not work I think because the usb stick is mounted to /mnt and the modules are also mounted?!

The way I've written it up, you should still be within the chroot of the new Debian filesystem, so there shouldn't be anything mounted on /mnt.. :?:

To verify the instructions post I'll start from the top and do a "cut and paste" install, with the starting position being an already installed NAND Arch Linux ARM install Linux (although you could just as well run the commands starting with a UBIT install disk or pretty much anywhere you have a kernel loaded and a working copy of 'chroot'.

It will take a little while to do the second stage, so give me a couple of hours and I should have a definitive recipe.

Hi peaslaker,
yes you are right we are still in the chroot environment. But something must be wrong. Thx a lot that you will figure that out. I'm desperately searching for a working method.

OK. I've changed the instructions slightly to add a further 'mount -o bind...' command before entering the Debian chroot. This makes the modules available to copy.

... and the whole set of instructions works end-to-end.

Do you see a problem here?

It seems that kernel and ramdisk are loaded from the NAND. Is that right?

Thanks a lot!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('squeezeplug', 'H')i peaslaker,
I followed exactly your instructions but got lost once more:

1. The exit command from chroot must be placed before umount /mnt right?


The way I've written it is for within the chroot. The mount is active on /mnt within the chroot.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')code]
sshd (1373): /proc/1373/oom_adj is deprecated, please use /proc/1373/oom_score_adj instead.
[/code]


This means that SSH is starting up. If there is no ping and no response on SSH then the network interface hasn't woken up.

Examine the contents of the /etc/network/interfaces file. It should look like:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
')

I'm starting from scratch again now, just to make sure the commands work.

peaslaker thanks again I'll try it tomorrow night and give you a feedback.

Good night,
