A new kernel for oxnas

[navym]

Glad to hear that.

Ensure CONFIG_EARLY_PRINTK=y in .config (maybe it already has)
and append earlyprintk to bootargs before boot the kernel,
see if it shows any useful message

Celemine1g,

How do I go about installing/testing your kernel?

<< New to linux

Running Debian Wheezy on the Pogoplug Pro

[celemine1gig]

You use this:
https://github.com/ingmar-k/Pogoplug_V3_Emdebian_Debian

Get a USB to serial adapter, a SATA drive and set the appropriate options for direct SATA booting in the scripts.
That is the easiest option.

Hi,

Thanks for new kernel. and emdebian.
I read though the page, and try to understand.
But seems too complex at first sight.
Sorry for noob questions

1. I have a Sata bootable HDD with "old " archlinux for p24.
2. Want to have new kernel, and new debian system because debian is more familiar to me, and archlinux for oxnas not supported
3. I will download master.zip and configure generalsettings.sh, on my Ubuntu then attache the sata disk and run build_emdebian_system.sh .This will overwrite my old boot dev.
4. detach Sata hdd from PC and try to boot pogo.

Is this the order?


Regards,
Robert

[celemine1gig]

That sounds about right.
But, you better get to know git. I reckon you don't intend to do this under windows. So install the package git, and just do a 'git clone https://github.com/ingmar-k/Pogoplug_V3 ... ebian.git'.
And, as the Readme says, be absolutely sure to check all the settings. The scripts get ran with root-privileges, so you could potentially destroy your whole filesystem, if you do something stupid and/or wrong.

Good luck!

[dobdel11]

Thank you Celemine.

I succesfully compiled. (Only some error messages appeared - probably related to my environment)
I have an image on USB thumb drive first. ANd I will try to boot it on pogo.
If it success I will put on HDD permanently.

It seems you done an amazing hugh work....
Thank you very much.

Regards Robert

celemine1gig is using a different kernel than you might have in the flash. Therefore you can't test it to boot from USB without flashing the kernel. If you have the latest 2.6.31.6 kernel from WarheadsSE in the flash you can try to boot my Debian Wheezy rootfs directly from USB ext3 partition with the name rootfs.

You can download my Wheezy rootfs for Pogoplug V3/Pro from http://cloudzer.net/file/hduuzhen (md5: 50f0b5cfa27bdea8b7ba55dd46a2330d). It fits to the latest 2.6.31.6 Kernel from WarheadsSE.The solution is based on libaccept4 preload mechanism. Totgether with the hint from celemine1gig ("/etc/init.d/rc": The entry "CONCURRENCY=makefile" needs to be changed to "CONCURRENCY="none") which is already contained it is working very well.

For further Debian related things please use the following thread: http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,6336

I customized my own DTS that doesn't include PCIe ports and enabled earlyprintk and now it boots much further. SATA works in U-Boot:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
OX820 # ide reset

Capacity: 953869.7 MB = 931.5 GB (1953525168 x 512)
')
However, the kernel fails to detect that SATA drive. From what I saw, the SATA driver only supports one port for now, so I assume that the "wrong" SATA port is populated on my board

Kernel 3.12
That indeed looks very interesting and maybe even promising. But we shouldn't judge until we see some performance numbers and can say something about the stability. If I understand you correctly you couldn't even fuly boot it yet. Right?

Is that kernel 3.12 already tested with any OXNAS based device? Or is this completely "uncharted territory". I'm sorry, but I don't follow openwrt development.

[navym]

kernel and u-boot always probe the same sata port, so the guess is not valid.

I think we need more information to troubleshoot it,
you can build the kernel with EXTRA_CFLAGS=-DDEBUG and increase loglevel for a rather noisy bootlog
also, post configs & dts or upload the source if you could.
