Bricked GoFlex Net

[sdelgran]

I think I finally made a mistake I can't handle alone!

I tried to push a new uBoot using the script here. It worked fine but it did not boot the SATA drive. Instead it seems it reverted to the origial uBoot.

The SATA drive boots just fine on another GoFlex Net with the 201405 uBoot installed with this script. I suppose my uBoot setenv just don't boot SATA... I prefered to try and boot USB since it seems that the uBoot is not what I intended.

I have serial access to the GoFlex. I tried a USB key with Alarm that I made a few months ago. It did not boot either but because it goes into Kernel panic. I made a new USB Key following the direction here (except I used my raspberry Pi to do the job as root).

I tried kwboot. It worked once. Still did a Kernel panic. Since then I could not get it to work again! I get the 'bad modem message' repeatedly. I tried hundreds of times litterally (since I read one should try 20-30 times).

This is what I see on the console through serial:

Any recommendation on what I should do? I thought about trying an old version of ALARM. Would that boot with the original uBoot I seem to have?

Thank you very much for your input.

[moonman]

Just FYI for the future, you don't need any scripts to update uboot after you had archlinux arm installed. Just install the corresponding package.

Now, it doesn't boot because it can't find the rootfs partition. Is it ext3? Is it on a separate partition?
The easiest way is to get kwboot to work, boot with new uboot then flash it by installing the package. You can extract *.kwb from the package http://mirror.archlinuxarm.org/arm/alar ... pkg.tar.xz

Thanks moonman.

You gave me the incentive I needed to give kwboot another try. I am not sure what helped but I decided to make another serial cable and get another GoFlex to handle the serial console. Well, it worked perfectly at the first try.

I have weird issue with my ALARM install but I want to do a fresh install anyway since I have been hacked and I am experiencing many issues since then. Right now, only root can connect to the GoFlex. Logging in as root on the console, I can see the error message "System is booting up. See pam_nologin (8)". systemd-user-sessions.service is not running but I can start it manually (and then users can connect). Anyway, let me try to rebuild from scratch and secure that box a little better.

Here are the answers to your questions (if this can help the next member)
