[How-To] Boot Entirely from SATA

[obaltus]

I guess, it overwrote the first one.
Now I have the following settings;

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sda2 console=ttyS0,115200 elevator=cfq mac_adr=0x00,0x30,0xe0,0x00,0x00,0x01 rootwait ubi.mtd=2,512"
setenv bootcmd "run dload1 boot || run dload2 boot || lightled"
setenv dload1 "diskboot 60500000 0:1"
setenv dload2 "diskboot 60500000 0:2"
')

Now, it is booting than kind of looping with a bad magic number in between. Any idea?

Thanks for your help, now it is booting the kernel! But it hangs while trying to initialize the NAND. How can I prevent it from trying to initialize the NAND? Setting arcNumber to 3975? recompiling uboot or a new kernel?

I would say that the easiest would be a different kernel.

I suppose this discussion should be a different thread however.

[youngbilly]

Hi WarheadsSE,

Thank you for doing this for the community. I know I started asking you this disc image, and you come to the rescure with this method. I have been very busy with other part of my life. Just got time to do this today. The prototype works great. I did used a SATA disc and external power adapter for the disc, it seem working fine with my POGOPLUG PRO.

I have two questions for you:

1. Why does the green light keep flushing?
2. Is it possible that I can flush the boot sector to the on-board memory (NAND?) so I do not need to use a SATA disc directly connected to the internal board? To give you some back groud, when I was trying to install the system, in middle of it, I quit a little too early that messed us the onboard boot sector. I do not like to mess with the external power supply to a bare SATA kit.

Thank you agian for this boot image. It made my POGOPLUG Pro usuable again.

[WarheadsSE]

"Flashing" and yes, it can be done, as mentioned multiple times by people that have done that for themselves in this thread.

Check that a certain module is loaded. Look in /etc/rc.d/set-oxnas-mac, for the module's name. Might need to `depmod -a`

[youngbilly]

Thanks.

I know you want us to search for how to flush the NAND with your boot sector. Can you or somebody else please point me what to search if I want to flush the NAND with the boot sector created by WarheadsSE? I don't mind my system a little slow, just dislike the wires to the SATA disc.

My stage1 will not boot nand.

[youngbilly]

Thanks WarheadsSE for your work on this device. Now I figured out how to restore to the original firmware. I had to read a couple thread and it went smoothly. Hope you don't mind I post the general steps here.

For those who messed up the NAND boot sector, here is what I did after I boot using SATA method listed in this thread:

1. Go to this post by WarheadsSE here. Make sure you can do all the steps listed there. You can copy it and paste to your SSH terminal.
2. wget http://archlinuxarm.org/os/oxnas/oxnas-revert.sh. Make sure it is excutable: chmod 700 oxnas-revert.sh
3. ./oxnas-revert.sh
4. Unplug the power, unplug the SATA disc, reboot.
5. Done.

Now, you can login at https://my.pogoplug.com/, start from scratch from here to redo your linux install.

[WarheadsSE]

You really don't need to revert to fix like that.. but I guess you get the end result when you nuke toast..
