1	Hardware and U-Boot firmware / U-Boot stuff / Re: Put /boot on a sd card and root and all the other stuff on an usb disk	on: August 27, 2009, 01:39:53 PM
Quote from: andreas on June 11, 2009, 12:33:13 PM but then I have to put mountpoint "/" on the sd card. I only want to put "/boot" on the sd card.... But as far as I know all mountpoints are managed in /etc/fstab... I've put an ext2 filesystem on my SD-card and copied /boot onto it. Then I combined the usb-disc and SD-card sections for U-boot in Martin Michlmayr's guide http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html so the system will use /dev/sda1 as the root-fs, but wiil boot from the SD-card. Code: setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=10' setenv bootcmd_mmc 'mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0 0x0800000 uInitrd; ext2load mmc 0 0x400000 uImage' setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_mmc; bootm 0x400000 0x0800000' saveenv /Svend

2	Hardware and U-Boot firmware / Hardware / Can't boot from large usb harddrive	on: August 26, 2009, 02:07:44 PM
I've recently installed debian lenny on my sheevaplug using the instructions from Martin Michlmayr at http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html I used a small external USB harddrive (a 40 Gb 2,5'' disc) - no problems. But when I try the same thing using a 1 TB external usb disc, the plug won't find any usable partitions to boot. I've installed lenny on the first primary partition. The partition works fine from my desktop box. --- snip from seriel output after reset --- Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 (Re)start USB... USB: scanning bus for devices... 2 USB Device(s) found scanning bus for storage devices... T T T T 1 Storage Device(s) found Bad partition 1 Bad partition 1 ## Booting image at 00400000 ... Bad Magic Number Marvell>> --- snip end --- Any suggestions? /Svend
