another standalone kernel #160 for testing
best to test it in u-boot console

Code: Select all

setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 netconsole=6666@${ipaddr}/,6666@${serverip}/
ide reset
tftpboot 0x800000 UIMAGE-3142-KIRKWOOD-160-standalone
bootm

If the kernel output comes and is ok you should be able to login with telnet

160 loaded but no telnet connection
i proceed with 161

160 loaded but no telnet connection

any output in uboot console after starting kernel ?

It was having same output of 159 so i didnt post it (also I was looking your posts were u said that most likely 160 werent working... so I didnt pay so much attention to it. tell me if i have to repeat the test aand share the command outputs)

i am not making same mistake for 161. (but no telnet connection anyway...)
PAY ATTENTION: all tests i'm making are with both SATA disks inside! and both seagate (as the original ones)

HERE IS THE OUTPUT OF 161:

Code: Select all

waiting for u-boot..
starting u-boot net console click on window and press enter

Starting kernel ...



[fvdw]

no need to do retest with kernel 160, kernel 161 has same setup for ethernet

Do the disks powerup when starting kernel 161 ?

Yes they always spin and both leds are solid blue.
The only blinking is the blue front biiiiiiig one ;)

Dumb question: what if the sata interface is broken? Can it be with those outputs?

[fvdw]

mmm...in uboot console you could test the stata interface by given command

Code: Select all

ide partinfo

probably still something wrong in ethernet setup of 3.14.2 kernel :scratch

When? Just after uboot? After ide reset?
I must do that tomorrow though. I have a child in the other room that wants his dad ;)

[fvdw]

yes in uboot console after ide reset

I also go to bed here, tomorrow another day. Alternatively if e can not get the standard kernel working we could proceed with trying to make a device tree firmware kernel as done with 4.2.3

:z)

[fvdw]

another standalone kernel for trying, with separate setup for nas2big
