Goflex Net installation instructions need updating

[irobot]

Thanks moonman. How about my enviroment?..does that look good?.

Checked my usb stick with e2fsck, forced the check. No issues found.

[moonman]

It actually looks messed up.
Interrupt u-boot again and issue these commands, line by line, not all at once:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'setenv rootdelay
setenv sata_set_bootargs 'setenv bootargs console=$console root=$sata_root rootdelay=$sata_rootdelay rootfstype=$sata_rootfstype $mtdparts $sata_custom_params'
setenv usb_rootfstype ext3
saveenv
reset')
Though most (except for usb_rootfstype) are for sata booting so only that one should make the difference for you.
If it doesn't boot, post back the bootloglog and "printenv" from u-boot

[irobot]

thanks, Ran the printenv commands. boots but still stuck at no IPV6 routers found and SSH connection is still refused.

Who's initrd is that loading?

[irobot]

Moonman's (from one of the posts in his signature)
wget http://goo.gl/GFbtn -O uInitrd

[irobot]

YAY !!! success... got SSH working.
uname - a output:

Linux gizmo2 3.1.10-22-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Fri Jun 28 21:43:02 CDT 2013 armv5tel GNU/Linux

Downloaded uInitrd again and copied over to my usb stick, rebooted.. and bam... its working !!.

Thanks moonman for guiding me. Learned alot.
Now need to get NTP working, update using pacman and get NFS going for sata drives.

[moonman]

Glad it worked. Do a full update with pacman -Syu, rhen install a newer kernel pacman -Sy linux-kirkwood. GFlex has an rtc built in btw

[irobot]

do I also need to install linux-headers-kirkwood ?

and when I do pacman -Sy linux-kirkwood it says the linux-kirkwood and linux are in conflict.. remove linux? y/n

This is simply going to remove the older linux kernel .. correct?

[moonman]

if you are going to comile things like drivers then you will need headers, otherwise you don't need it. Yes, just replace it

[irobot]

Done, updated kernel rebooted and uname -r shows: 3.11.7-1-ARCH.
