Boot Entirely from SATA on Akitio

[jmandawg]

I finally got around to trying this, and i followed the steps exactly (twice even) and this is the error i get from the serial console. Any ideas? Thanks.

Thats a new one. I've not seen anyone get that yet, but it seems that it doesn't like the image it is reading from hda1

This is my partition table:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'Disk /dev/sdb: 500.1 GB, 500107862016 bytes

And this is the output of disk_create command:

AH, I see what happened there. For some reason your is looking to hda2! Sorry, it's been a busy weekend. You'll need to decide if you want rootfs first, or second. If first, then you'll need to interrupt the uboot and confirm that it is showing ide 0:1 not ide 0:2 in the load commands.

Not sure what i need to change?

[WarheadsSE]

Interrupt boot and try
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
run dload1
')

Seems it is failing on both partitions to load a working image. That looks right though.

[jmandawg]

It doesn't appear to do anything...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'IDE read: device 0 block # 288, count 1 ... 1 blocks read: OK
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
$ run dload1
$
')

Does this mean the kernel isn't loaded into the first partition correctly?

[jmandawg]

Any ideas of what else i can try?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
ide reset
run dload1
')

I started re-doing the disk setup just for good measure. I did notice that after i delete all the partitions and run the disk_create script it does not error out when writing uImage, but there is no partition 1 so i don't know where it's writing it to. disk is formatting now...
