Ok this did the trick

setenv bootargs_root root=b301

It was in the wiki all along but didn't realize I was running "Alpha6 Beta" after the recorvery.  Sounds scary.

http://plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SD_Card_As_Root_File_System

It also boots fine w/o bootargs.  So seems I have a different uboot version that doesn't use it.

U-Boot 1.1.4 (Jul 19 2009 - 16:03:28) Marvell version: 3.4.19

I'm trying to get my plug to boot off a SD card.  I'm setting the bootargs correctly but it still boots off of NAND:  I know this because the SD card currently in the plug has nothiing on it.  I think I may have an updated uboot since after I did a recovery, I no longer have a bootargs setting, so makes sense that it is not longer used

The uboot env has

standalone=fsload 0x2000000 $(image_name);setenv bootargs $(console) root=/dev/mtdblock0 rw ip=$(ipaddr):$(serverip)$(bootargs_end)

which specifies /dev/mtdblock0

Here's what happens when I try to boot of the SD:

Marvell>> setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw ip=10.4.50.4:10.4.50.5:10.4.50.5:255.255.255.0:DB88FXX81:eth0:none

I recovered my plug using the recovery tool.  Afterward I followed this guide

 http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Install_Prebuilt_Kernels_From_sheeva.with-linux.com 

to get ftdi support on the plug.  It says to append some parameters to bootargs, but I don't have any bootargs.  Should I set them to

setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=nand_mtd:0x400000@0x100000(uImage),0x1fb00000@0x500000(rootfs) rw root=/dev/mtdblock1 rw ip=10.4.50.4:10.4.50.5:10.4.50.5:255.255.255.0:DB88FXX81:eth0:none'

as described in this gude? http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Factory_Default_u-Boot_Environment

Does anyone know if there is support available from Marvel?  Really don't want to have to toss this thing in the trash can.

I'm not able to boot my plug after my SD card failed.  Just get

And it hangs here forever.  Is there anything I can do get it working again or should I toss it in the closet junk pile?  Thanks.

I'm trying to run the sheevaplug-installer, from ubuntu but getting error with libftdi.  I didn't see anything in the documentation that talks about this.  Here's my output:

yes, of course I ran fsck on my notebook.. the plug doesn't even boot, which is sort of the problem I'm trying to remedy

Being impatient, I attempt the uboot reset http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Factory_Default_u-Boot_Environment

Everything seemed to go fine except when I set the bootcmd:

Not sure what to do now.

Any suggestions on how to recover my plug at this point?  I can't even boot w/o the SD  card (kernel panic) so not sure what to do.  I assume the SD card data is going and I can live with that.

Now my entire SD card file system is under lost+found, e.g.

I ran fsck -f

and after about 1000 yes prompts, I got:

/dev/sdb1: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
/dev/sdb1: 28877/488640 files (0.3% non-contiguous), 350292/1953897 blocks

I ran it again to verify it at least did something:

andrew@ubuntu:~$ sudo fsck -f /dev/sdb1
fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)
e2fsck 1.41.4 (27-Jan-2009)

Now I get a kernel panic when I boot from the card.  I've pasted the entire boot output in the hopes that it will illuminate the issue:

I ran fsck on the card from my Ubuntu notebook.  It detects and appears to resolve the problems, however, when I plug the sd card into the sheevaplug, I continue to get the same errors.

I had my sheevaplug boxed up for a few months, during a move, and now I'm getting all sorts of boot errors.  I have the plug booting from an SD card.  The data on the card appears to be all there and good.  It boots up but nearly all commands fail.  Here's an output of my boot sequence.  Any sugguestions are appreciated.
