my plug doesn't boot no more...

[spazm2000]

Hi,

I've been installing various things on my plug for the last week and it was working fine till today. I was booting it on usb with the help of this guide (http://computingplugs.com/index.php/Booting_entirely_off_an_external_USB_device). Everything was left untouched on the nand drive. But today I decided to go for a mmc card. So I plugged it in and transfered everything to the mmcblk0p2 since I created a mmcblk0p1 with the uImage.sheeva.040309. Everything went smootly... but I wasn't able to boot on the mmc... uboot wasn't able to so I found another guide (http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/unpack.html) explaining how to replace the U-boot on the plug. No problem there either... but it still booting completely saying that the mmcblk0p2 wasn't found.

Decided I had enough for tonight and rebooted it on my usb drive... but now it's refusing to boot at all... it dies after the kernel thing.

Here's what I was typing in the console to boot it from USB :

setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda2 rootdelay=10 mtdparts=nand_mtd:0x400000@0x100000(uImage),0x1fb00000@0x500000(rootfs) rw'
setenv bootcmd 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x8000000 /uImage.sheeva.040309; bootm 0x8000000; reset'
run bootcmd

Now when I do that I get this :


/**********************************************/

Marvell>> setenv bootcmd 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x8000000 /uImage.sheeva.040309; bootm 0x8000000; reset'
Marvell>> run bootcmd

It just stops there... I don't know what to do now... I've tried various to set theses with no success :

setenv arcNumber 2097
setenv mainlineLinux yes
saveenv

What can I do to make it boot?

Your printout with the hang at "done, booting the kernel." shows that you are using the original kernel 2.6.22.18. For that you must have mainlineLinux set to no.

Thanks a lot man, that fixed the problem.
