Quote from: LrdShaper on October 15, 2009, 04:01:55 AM So far so good but I get this message: Unknown HZ value! (89) Assume 100. when running certain commands like uname, uptime, top and free. On which distro do you get this? It shouldn't happen on Debian because it was fixed. But in any case, it's harmless and can be ignored.

Quote from: birdman on October 07, 2009, 03:00:49 PM Is there any reason why the sysfs control for the blue LED is called plug:green:health? It is green on older versions of the SheevaPlug (such as mine).

108	Linux Stuff / Linux distributions / Debian installer for SheevaPlug available now	on: October 12, 2009, 08:54:33 AM
You can now use the Debian installer to install Debian on the Marvell SheevaPlug. This routine will install Debian testing (squeeze), which is currently under development. The installer itself is also under development, so there may be problems from time to time but it should generally work pretty well. The Debian installer doesn't support installations to flash, but you can use it to install to a USB stick or disk as well as to an SD card.

Install the Debian package with "dpkg -i ...deb" and then run "flash-kernel". It will create an uboot image for the kernel and ramdisk in /boot automatically.

lsusb is in the usbutils package.

2.6.22.18 is not a Debian kernel; it's probably a Marvell kernel.

update-initramfs calls flash-kernel, which is a tool that writes the kernel/ramdisk to flash on some NAS machines or (in the case of the SheevaPlug) generates a bootable image for u-boot on disk. You can ignore the mtdblock warnings. They are the same you see when you boot the device.

Quote from: xyzzy on June 01, 2009, 06:19:10 PM I've tried following those instructions for installing to an SD card (have tried this with two different cards), and my SheevaPlug boots happily enough, but after about ten minutes I start getting MMC errors and linux gets very very sad. Has anyone else had success with that debian image on an SD card? What errors do you get exactly? Can you show the logs.

BTW, I update the instructions to cover installations to SD cards: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html

Quote from: bjohv052 on May 15, 2009, 03:07:32 AM Never mind. Another usb stick solved the problem. From the log you pasted, it seems u-boot had problems initializing your usb stick so it failed to load the kernel (look for "Device NOT ready" and partition not found).

Quote from: mikekgr on May 05, 2009, 10:13:27 PM P.S. Is it possible to give me the u-boot commands in order to revert (If I want it) the booting to the internal nand flash?. Thanks in advance. Can you try this: Code: setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mtdblock2 ro' setenv bootcmd 'nand read.e 0x800000 0x100000 0x400000; bootm 0x800000' setenv mainlineLinux no saveenv reset

For the record, you only have to modprobe the module manually right now because of a kernel bug; I reported this issue the other day and there's a fix already that I'll put in the next Debian kernel.

I'm afraid I don't know what's wrong. Hopefully someone who still has the original system can tell us the output of 'printenv'.

My plug didn't ship with the Ubuntu system that came with most plugs, so I'm not sure what you have to type. I believe the following should work. Can you try? Code: setenv bootcmd 'nand read 0x800000 0x100000 0x400000; bootm 0x800000' setenv mainlineLinux no saveenv reset

Quote from: bjohv052 on May 06, 2009, 02:30:42 AM from your instructions I assume that the tarball is installed on an ext2 file system. Is that correct, and if so, why not use ext3? If I setup my usb stick with an ext3 fs, will the tarball still work? I'm guessing the tarball will be ok but I need new bootargs? You can use ext3 and you don't have to change the bootargs. It will worked as described.
