printenv bootargs ## Error: "bootargs" not defined

[badcam]

I've re-flashed the Sheeva with Alpha 6. Everything seems to be fine and I appear to have no errors on boot via the Uboot Mini USB. I've been able to install various programmes etc.

I've been trying to move the files across to my SD Card following the Plug Wiki instructions here:

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

I get to the point where I have to issue the "shutdown -r now" command. The Wiki isn't completely clear as to just where this command is to be issued, ie from the SSH console or the serial console. But I assume that it's to be done from the serial connection.

Now, I've followed this process before and was successful, but this time when I stop the U-boot with the Enter key and get to the "Marvell>>" prompt, I can't get the "printenv bootargs" command to work. I get this message:

Marvell>> printenv bootargs
## Error: "bootargs" not defined
Marvell>>

I've tried, rebooting, starting from a cold start, issuing the "shutdown -r now" from the SSH console and then stopping the U-boot after that. Any ideas would be gratefully welcomed.

[restamp]

"shutdown -r now" is a Unix command.  It can be entered either from the console, after logging in as root, or from an ssh login.  However, it does require root privileges, so it won't work if you are not root.

"bootargs" is probably not defined.  Do you perhaps want to print "bootcmd"?

[badcam]

Hi restamp.

Perhaps you'd be kind enough to have a look at that thread in my first post where the instructions given say to use "shutdown -r now" and "printenv bootargs".

I should be in Root, I haven't set up any other users, so I can't see how I could be otherwise. I don't mean "bootcmd". I'm just trying to follow the step by step instructions in that thread.

Thanks.

[restamp]

I believe your main problem is that you are trying to follow instructions which were written for the default 2.6.22.18 load, and which were no doubt written before the alpha-6 installer was introduced.  I checked my notes and there was a "bootargs" environment variable in that load.  (And it was set as described in the wiki post.)  There is no "bootargs" variable  in the alpha-6 load -- it is created dynamically during the boot sequence -- so trying to print it out will fail.

It would be best if you were to go back and read the wiki article for comprehension and then figure out the equivalent changes to make in the alpha-6 load to have the same effect as the wiki's changes to "bootargs".

If you just want the nitty-gritty, take a look at "bootargs_root".  If you find it set as follows:

Code:

bootargs_root=ubi.mtd=1 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs

then you might try changing it to:

Code:

bootargs_root=root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw,relatime

Then to work around another latent bug, you might also add an "mmcinit" to the mix:

Code:

bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(bootargs_root); mmcinit; nand read.e 0x00800000 0x00100000 0x00400000; bootm 0x00800000

Of course, you'd set these via the following commands:

Code:

setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw,relatime'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(bootargs_root); mmcinit; nand read.e 0x00800000 0x00100000 0x00400000; bootm 0x00800000'
saveenv

I'm relying on memory here, so I can't guarantee this everything required to make this work, but it's a starting point.

Good luck.

[badcam]

I'm lost. I've tried and tried and tried.

I know that the SD Card is set up with the Nand files. But I just can't get the bootargs_root to change. I have alpha 6 installed.

I've tried both your suggestions retamp of this:

setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw,relatime'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(bootargs_root); mmcinit; nand read.e 0x00800000 0x00100000 0x00400000; bootm 0x00800000'
saveenv

and the wiki's command under the "Changes for Alpha6 Beta".

Right now I'm getting this message (one of many similar variations):

VFS: Cannot open root device "b301" or unknown-block(179,1)
Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions:

[<c0008734>] (kernel_init+0xc0/0xec) from [<c0040b18>] (do_exit+0x0/0x6ac)

and for which this command is suggested as a possible fix:

setenv bootcmd 'mmcinit; setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(bootargs_root); nand read.e 0x00800000 0x00100000 0x00400000; bootm 0x00800000'

That hasn't worked for me. The kernel panic I just posted is after having tried that command.

I'm stuck. Am I supposed to go through the whole process ie from fdisk /dev/mmcblk0  to shutdown -r now, every time I wish to try and change bootargs_root, or if not, do I still have to mount the SD card each time?

How can I at least get back to booting off of the nand from this point without having to re-flash the Nand? That seems to be a relatively easy & painless process in comparison to just getting the SD card to take.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Also, on a couple of my attempts I also got this message (if it helps):

Error! cmd : 8, err : 0201

[badcam]

I've just found this link (restamp posted it in another thread):

http://www.openplug.org/plugwiki/index.php/Multi-Boot

Ideally, I'd like to be able to set this up, so that I can always resort back to the Nand if necessary, but run off of the SD Card most of the time.

Thanks anyway. I apologise if I aren't being very clear in my posts.

[restamp]

It doesn't look like it's seeing the SDcard on boot.  I'm presuming you were able to access the SDcard to mount and populate when you had a vanilla alpha-6 load running from the Plug's NAND, right?

1.  What type of file system did you create on your SDcard?  (ext2?  ext3?)

2.  If you interrrupt the Uboot and issue a manual mmcinit, followed by an ext2ls mmc 0 /, can you see the filesystem from the Uboot?

[CqCn]

badcam,

I assume:  You did the alpha-6 upgrade, and then copied the rootfs to your sdcard, and the kernel remains in the nand?  That is what I did, and for me I get the same error as yours with some sdcards.

I found by adding 10 sec delay works for me, some cards will work with 5 secs, a few work with no delay at all.  It is the higher density newer/faster cards that appear to need the delay here!  My changed line is:
setenv bootargs_root 'rootdelay=10 root=/dev/mmcblk0p1'

Yes.Alpha6 was up and running fine. I've managed to do the Alpha6 install several times now. I did experience the "Bad Magic Number" error a few times, but a re-format of the USB stick solves that for me (An Aside: I wonder if somehow the install corrupts something on the stick each time it's run?).

1.  What type of file system did you create on your SDcard?  (ext2?  ext3?)

Ext2 - I haven't tried Ext3 as I've been reading here that Ext2 seems to be less wearing on the cards. I have tried three other cards though, all Kingstons and Transcends.

2.  If you interrrupt the Uboot and issue a manual mmcinit, followed by an ext2ls mmc 0 /, can you see the filesystem from the Uboot?

Yes. Alpha6 the card has the rootfs files and they're still on the Nand as well.

That is what I did, and for me I get the same error as yours with some sdcards.

Erk! Thanks for that.  As you can tell, I'm a "copy & paster" and an enthusiast of Linux, a dabble, rather than someone who knows what they're doing.  Still, it's fun though. 

So, I guess I have a corrupt SD(s)? I'm using Puppy Linux. I pre-formatted them all to Ext2 prior to using them in the Sheeva and setting them up with the "fdisk /dev/mmcblk0
" command. Can I still recover this (these) SD Cards or should I buy a new one?

Also, I guess I'm going to have to re-flash the Sheeva, so I can SSH into Root. But if possible, is there an easy fix to get my Sheeva booting from the Nand instead of the re-install?

Thanks for your patience with me.

[restamp]

Your SDcard may well be OK.  The Plug seems to be finicky about some of them.

To boot from NAND, you'll have to back out what you've changed.  I'd try setting the bootargs_root back to what it was initially:

Code:

setenv bootargs_root 'ubi.mtd=1 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs'

and see if it boots.  If so, try mounting you SDcard partition from the Unix running on your Plug.  (It should work, right?   Didn't you populate the  SDcard partition from the root fs on the plug initially?)  If not, well, sometimes it's easier just to start from ground zero (rerun alpha-6).

Good luck.

BTW, I've always run an fdisk / mkfs from the Plug itself, although I don't have any reason to believe Puppy Linux would do anything differently that would cause it not to work.

[badcam]

Hooray! It's worked. I believe. I tried another SD Card (I've since bought a Sandisk Ultra II which I hope will be of better quality). If you would be so kind as to check out my console details.
