Fail to install fvdw-sl

[Jocko]

ANd do you try to reboot?

[jahotinc]

yes, sure, but it does not work. the assistant doesn't find the nas.

[Jocko]

:scratch :scratch :scratch
I am sorry but I have no more suggestion.

Maybe fvdw will have another idea.

It appears that:
- you have at least a few image on sda7
- sda5 contains the required files
- sda6 contains also a kernel

So the nas should start but why it doesn't? :?:

[fvdw]

in which slot is the system disk ? (seen from the back of the nas)

(system disk is the disk were you installed the firmware on)

It must be in the most lefthand slot (nr 1)

For testing only use one disk

[jahotinc]

all the test have been performed with only one disk plugged at slot 1 (the most left from behind).

It has to be a foolishness, because the nas worked months ago.

I have tested several disks with the same result (only one at a time)

Is it possible that the nas, when reboots takes a random IP or an IP that it had in the past which is not the same rank that my current network?

No that can not be : the kernel is not loaded by the nas (no trace on sda7)

This would mean an issue with the disk but your partitions table is ok :scratch

You can try to load an externel kernel (not the standalone version) available in the folder 5big1 and see if the nas starts.

[fvdw]

lets have a look at the boot loader and the boot commands set

use the u-boot console action of the fvdw-sl console
when you are on the u-boot prompt (marvell)
give the command

Code: Select all

printenv

and post the output here
(you can leave the disk in, we will perform a manual loading of the kernel)

[jahotinc]

printenv result:

Code: Select all

I've tried to load an external kernel (UIMAGE-395-5BIG1-25) and it does not work neither.

The only thing is that now, the disk blue light (behind) is fixed and not blinking.

[fvdw]

on the marvel prompt give command

Code: Select all

ide reset

does it find the disk ?
