121	Hardware and U-Boot firmware / U-Boot stuff / Boot from Esata ( fixed )	on: February 20, 2010, 03:49:01 AM
Hi, I have an Esata version from New IT, and trying now to boot off the Esata drive. I`ve solved most parts of this, But I think I`m stuck on finding the right Uboot setting?. I`ve downloaded and installed the Uboot_sata.bin from http://www.newit.co.uk/u-boot/ Complied a Esata Kernel which does work if booted from a usb drive . But setting which boot the usb drive won`t the sata drive. setenv mainlineLinux yes setenv bootargs_console console=ttyS0,115200 setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sda2 rootdelay=10' setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x0800000 /sheeva-2.6.32.8-uImage' setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_usb; bootm 0x0800000' saveenv is there a bootcmd_sata ?

Wow , That was easy !! , I didn`t even think it would compile never mind boot from. I followed :- http://www.computingplugs.com/index.php/Building_a_custom_kernel and http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Compiling_Linux_Kernel_for_the_Plug_Computer Picking the best bits from each. Downloaded - linux-2.6.32.8.tar from kernel.org and codeSourcery - arm-2009q3-68-arm-none-eabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar Left the Kernel config at default, for I did know what the hell most of the setting was, So default looked the safer way. So I`m left with a string of errors all todo with ipv6. After doing a make ARCH=arm menuconfig , I`ve found that IPv6 is marked with a ( M ) to say it`s a module. I have a Kernel folder which it generated which Net, lib, fs, drivers , crypto with file inside with a .ko extension. OOOP a case of RTFM ... error free . Where are I meant to put these file ? The instructions says the Lib file ?

Hi , I`m in the same boat . For all the help I can find is in Linux, the only way I`ve found to get around it, is to run in Linux. But Virtual with - VirtualBox :- http://www.virtualbox.org/

124	Linux Stuff / Kernel / kernel change part 2	on: February 16, 2010, 08:29:38 AM
I have a Esata version of the sheevaplug supplied from new it. Sorry I`m new to linux, so slowly, but surely getting to know it, mainly by trial and error, mostly error. I`ve worked out booting from USB or SD card etc and not booting from the nand kernel drops to sata port. ( The Esata port has been tested and works with the nand kernel ) I`m looking how to make a new kernel with built in support for Esata and usb – FTDI. So how do I add FTDI support to the one in the nand or add Esata support to the one there http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/index.php?dir=2.6.32.8%2F Which as FTDI support?

My new problem , which isn`t a problem let is I need to reset the ENVs ( it still boots ) I did a oops on it which didn`t help, that is doing a printenv and paste the result back ot it`s self !!!!

Thank you !!!! , you are spot on only changed :- setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x0800000 /sheeva-2.6.32.8-uImage' setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_usb; bootm 0x0800000' and have a boot after all day trying . Webmin says - Linux 2.6.32.8 on armv5tel , so the kernel change did work.

Just tried TheBigYahi method :- mkdir /mnt/BootMnt mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/BootMnt/ wget http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/README-2.6.32.8 chmod 755 README-2.6.32.8 ./README-2.6.32.8 --rootkernel mv /boot/sheeva-2.6.32.8-uImage /mnt/BootMnt/uImage And still get the same :- Code: CPU : Marvell Feroceon (Rev 1) Streaming disabled Write allocate disabled USB 0: host mode PEX 0: interface detected no Link.

I think it`s getting to be not what I`m doing , but what uimage I`m trying to install . or something else !!!!

129	Linux Stuff / Kernel / kernel change	on: February 15, 2010, 09:03:47 AM
How do you change the kernel on Debian, when booting from a USB drive ? ( Made with http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html ) I tried booting back from nand , mounting the boot partition ( sda1 ) and replacing the uImage file (http://sheeva.with-linux.com/sheeva/index.php?dir=2.6.32.8%2F ) by renaming sheeva-xxxxxx-ulmage to just ulmage, and it won`t boot after that. I tried replacing the old uImage back and it still wouldn’t boot, so in guess it`s not that simple to replace the kernel by swapping the UImage file. I finished getting it to boot with the old UImage file, by tar untaring my tar ball back into the boot partition. What is the way to replace the kernel and still make it boot ?

The best part is Flexget That is what does most of the work, and it works with any cli torrent programs . So will work with ctorrent , rtorrent etc , which is only small and you don`t need to compile to get working.

I tried via the apt-get install and finished up with 1.21 , oops
