NAS doesn't boot after setup Raid

[Jocko]

Hi jungfichte,

Indeed there are some errors in the log file.

And I think your attempt allowed to detect a bug with the install script: fail to delete a gpt table if you want to create ms-dos table. (we need to deepen this point)

So you need to remove the gpt table manually before installing again version 16.1:

- get a telent access (action load standalone kernel)
- load gdisk binary

Code: Select all

busybox tftp -r gdisk -l /sbin/gdisk -g ip-pc
   chmod 755 /sbin/gdisk

(ip-pc is your laptop ip)
- run gdisk /dev/sda

Then on the gdisk menu, do : x+enter; z+enter confirm by typing y+enter (twice : to delete gpt table and mbr protective table)

check if you have no longer a gpt partition : gdisk -l /dev/sda

If yes you can again try to install fvdw-sl

in the Tutorial to build a RAID 1 for fvdw-sl 16.0 it is necessary the change the partition table to GPT

where did you read this :scratch

With a gpt partition you must use gdisk and in the other case use fdisk (the system type code is then 'fd' instead of 'fd00')

Hi jocko,

today i followed the instructions in your last post:

The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 60801.
There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
and could in certain setups cause problems with:
1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
   (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)

where did you read this :scratch

sorry, i stopped reading after this

With a gpt partition you must use gdisk...

Hi jungfichte;

For me install log is now ok. :thumbup

but after

Code: Select all

reboot -f

the nas doesn't boot :dontknow

You can try to use reboot without option f or by unplugging the power wire :scratch

[jungfichte]

same behavior with unplugging the power wire

[Jocko]

So get again a telnet access with fvdw-sl console

And do

Code: Select all

mkdir /sda7
mount /dev/sda7 /sda7
ls -l /sda7/boot.log
cat /sda7/boot.log

Other thing try to boot again after removing the 2d disk (sdb)

[jungfichte]

the second disk is not installed

Code: Select all

root@(none):/ # mkdir /sda7
root@(none):/ # mount /dev/sda7 /sda7
root@(none):/ # ls -l /sda7/boot.log

So the bootloader did not see your disk even if it uses a ms-dos partition :scratch

What happens if you load an external kernel with the related action of fvdw-sl console
Note: you must not select the standalone version!

[fvdw]

Start uboot command window using fvdw-sl console and give at the marvell>> prompt the command printenv to see which uboot commands are set. There we can see what the bootloader is using as boot cmd

Hi jungfichte,

It is fvdw who is the expert for uboot. What you can do and I think he also go to ask you to try :
Stil from a uboot window, do

Code: Select all

version

ide reset

ide info

bootm

(bootm should load the kernel on sda6...)

So post all these output
