Sheeva with Debian - replace temporarily USB with eSATA?

[pizzulicchio]

Am i alone to have this problem?
My white esata sheevaplug isn't be able to boot debian from esata.

I can boot from USB ( using an usb key Sandisk Cruzer 8 GB )  but I'd like to use the esata port.
What is the problem? uboot, set environment, installer or what?

I suggest you run

Code:

ide part

to see which device:partition id you have to use.

Here to you the output:

Marvell>> ide part

Warning: Please run 'ide reset' before running other ide commands

Marvell>> idereset
Unknown command 'idereset' - try 'help'
Marvell>> ide reset

Reset IDE:

yeah, so use 1:1 in bootcmd_sata instead of 0:1 and it'll work.

GREAT GREAT GREAT!!!!
IT WORKS FINALY!

I think that you can update your guide at : http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html


those are the correct u-boot settings to boot from e-sata:

setenv bootargs_console console=ttyS0,115200
setenv bootcmd_sata 'ide reset; ext2load ide 1:1 0x01100000 /uInitrd; ext2load ide 1:1 0x00800000 /uImage'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console); run bootcmd_sata; bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000'
saveenv


Thank you very, very much!
