Help! Looks like my uboot is messed up

[dips0502]

I am unable to get my Seagate GoFlex Home to boot up. I see the green LED flashing, but it gets no IP address. I lset up the listener nc -lu -p 6666 and I can see that it doesnt get past the uboot. The last I see is:
Loading Kernel Image ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...

And nothing thereafter. This is the full output from uboot:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
root@kali:~# nc -lu -p 6666

I know something is not right. But I cant figure out what. Please suggest. I can interrupt the uboot and get to the Marvell> prompt. I did try to update the uboot some days back and it failed. I dont really remember what it said when it failed, but it was booting even after that. Now all of a sudden, it refues to boot up.

Thanks.

I see no problem here. Do you have kernel netconsole output? Likely your u-boot is fine and something happened to rootfs. You can still reinstall.

I get no output from the kernel. I am listening for everything on UDP 6666 [listener nc -lu -p 6666]. This should catch uboot, kernal and dhcp, right?

[moonman]

The ip is different: http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv5 ... s-ui-tabs3

You need to be running *nix, alias your IP with the ones from the table and listen on the aliased interfaces.

[dips0502]

When I do that I get "invalid connection to [10.10.10.5] from (UNKNOWN) [10.10.10.6] 6666" on all 3 interfaces.

I followed this http://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=3312&p=19207#p19200 guide and tried to boot of a USB pen drive.

I am getting similar results -

Did you create aliases for the ethernet interface?

I am not seeing anything wrong with your netconsole output. It stops where it should. Reboot your router and/or power cycle the switch if there is any in between your router and GF. Check your router dhcp table, your device may be getting a different ip address this time.

[dips0502]

I did set the interface. When I listen on the specific IP addresses I get this- "invalid connection to [10.10.10.5] from (UNKNOWN) [10.10.10.6] 6666" on all 3 interfaces. Its not a DHCP issue. I can be sure that we can isolate DHCP not being the issue.

If it helps, here is my printenv output -

You need to get netconsole working for the kernel or get a serial adapter. If you are on arch try a different netcat (there are bsd and gnu ones in repos). As far as i can see so far everything is good.
