I now have removed the wireless element and also the homeplug element too!!! Laptop and nas are plugged into the same router.

Everything is much quicker!! However loading the firmware still took three minutes approx.

Install is currently now formatting sda5 - progressing well.

[rimoth]

The installation completed successfully & I copied the new kernel to sda6 on the nas. Unfortunately when the nas reboots it doesn't appear on the network.

I will try and download the kernel again and write it to sda6 on the nas.

[rimoth]

No luck trying to load the kernel to sda6 again.

Not sure what to try next. Is there a way I can check the new kernel? Can I load it as a standalone kernel?

[fvdw]

as said the webinterface can have a problem, try an ip scan to see which ip at has got assigend or see the dhcp table of your router

ps In the fvdw-sl consle there is an option to load an external kernel, you can use that one

[rimoth]

I looked at attached devices on the router and could not see the nas.

I've also tried to load an external kernel, 161. It says "starting kernel" but then the window closes and no telnet window appears. I then tried launching telnet but couldn't make a connection to the nas.

[fvdw]

yes no telnet window will appear in that case, you will need to connect to it using an ssh client like Putty as the normal firmware runs no telnet and also uses an ip assigned by the dhcp server in your network. (normally your router).
I do no see a reason why the normal kernel would not run, it is the same as standalone only without the init ram files system. Maybe it can find the partitions for whatever reason. Tomorrow we can do some test booting the kernel vi u-boot console and using console output feature. This will show us when the kernel is booting what it is doing just like in dmesg output.
I will write some instructions tomorrow how to do that

we will get this running 100% sure

[fvdw]

Ok here is the instruction to boot the nas via u-boot terminal in fvdw-sl console.

So power off the nas , startup the fvdw-sl console, start the tftp server and open a u-boot command window using the fvdw-sl console.
Now it will wait for u-boot.
Start the nas and wait for the Marvell>> prompt

before booting the kernel lets see if u-boot can recognize your disk
give on the u-boot command line the command

Code: Select all

ide reset

It should respond that it found one device
for example something like this

Code: Select all

Marvell>> ide reset
ide reset

Reset IDE:
Marvell Serial ATA Adapter
Integrated Sata device found

  Device 0 @ 0 0:

            Supports 48-bit addressing
            Capacity: 953869.7 MB = 931.5 GB (1953525168 x 512)

Now check if u-boot can read the partition table

Code: Select all

Marvell>> ide part

It should list if it found a valid partition table (gpt or ms-dos) and list it, for example something like this

Code: Select all

Marvell>> ide part
ide part

## Testing for valid EFI partition ##

gpt7  4745216    5793791 decimal
gpt8  5793792    1953525134 decimal
Marvell>>

If all that is ok and all partions are there try to boot the kernel with netconsole output. For this we will use the tfp server to boot our kernel present in the tftp directory of the fvdw-sl console.

Give as commands in the u-boot terminal (leave the text as it is below, do not fill in ip addresses, this is the correct syntax))

Code: Select all

Marvell>> setenv ipaddr ${ipaddr}

the response of the u-boot terminal should be:

Code: Select all

setenv ipaddr ${ipaddr}

Next enter as command

Code: Select all

Marvell>> setenv serverip ${serverip}

then
Marvell>> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 netconsole=6666@${ipaddr}/,6666@${serverip}/
edited 31-jul-2013 . Change this to this

Code: Select all

Marvell>> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 netconsole=6666@${ipaddr}/,6666@${serverip}/

then (in this command replace "name-of-uImage-in-tftp-directory" by the actual kernel you want to boot)

Code: Select all

Marvell>> tftpboot 0x800000 name-of-uImage-in-tftp-directory

This should give as output something like this (example)

Code: Select all

Marvell>> tftpboot 0x800000 UIMAGE-26394-NWSP2CL-59
tftpboot 0x800000 UIMAGE-26394-NWSP2CL-59

done
Bytes transferred = 3123520 (2fa940 hex)

Now boot the kernel

Code: Select all

Marvell>> bootm

this will give output that it checks checksum of kernel and then starts it
then boot log will follow after some time, example like this

Code: Select all

well hope it is clear enough ;)

ps you can copy output in the u-boot winow (right mouse click on top of window and find you way in the drop down menu that will appear)

[rimoth]

I'm sure 100% we will get it running too!!

Here's where I am at....

I started the tftp server and launched uboot console.

ide reset recognises the disk and the output from ide part is:

Code: Select all

Marvell>> ide part

gpt8            589000         15D50A38E
Marvell>>

My concern here is that gpt1 is very small compared to your listing and conversely gpt is very large!

I then loaded and booted the kernel...

Code: Select all

The kernel attempts to load but then I can see it panics when it cannot mount root fs.

Any ideas?

[fvdw]

yep it seems to be unable to mount sda7
(partition table seems to be ok to me.

Can you fire it up using the standalone kernel and then try if mounting of sda7 is possible
In telnet

edited

Code: Select all

mkdir /sda7
mount /dev/sda7 /sda7

And check if you can get a directory listing
Could be an issue with incorrect dev node, we have seen this also with the 5big2

Also when being in telnet, execute

Code: Select all

cat /proc/partitions

and post the output

[fvdw]

ps the u-boot output on partition table specifies LBA in hex code (or number of sector being start and end.
The number listed means sda1 is 511 MB which is ok
sda8 is the big data partition and from the number given by uboot it looks like being 3 TB in size
