Problem with u-boot

[Foggy]

I wanted to install gentoo on my sheevaplug, and i set the variables shown Here (http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=69.0) by Moshiach. Unfortunality the configuration didn't work so i try to reset the variables with "resetenv". But now when i turn my sheevaplug on, it always show me this error:

Foggy,

unfortunately once the "resetenv" issued all environment variables you entered plus those you did during installation all get wipe out. uboot restore everything from compilation default. which is pretty bad.

you will need to re-enter everything you did during installation or re-run sheeva-installation again if use one.

if you will I can walk you through using tftp, please post following command result.

at Marvell>> prompt,
printenv
version

and from your tftpserver shell prompt,

mkimage -l /path/to/uImage
mkimage -l /path/to/initramfs if you use one.

or if you can wait I will make a gentoo based sheeva plug computer distribution. it is not a normal gentoo stage3 setup, I made it target a NAS environment so it come with some app pre-installed. And a separated stage3 utilities set can be plugin after system is up and running for additional customization. I think it should be ready sometime around end of month of beginning next year.

You gentoo-based distribution is very interesting! I'll use it when it will be completed!

Hi Foggy,

very sorry not reply you sooner, I somehow missed your post reply from the most recent post list.

It looks like you have a very old u-boot, I recommend you follow this wiki http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/SheevaPlug_Installer
once you unpack the sheevaplug_installater you should replace the sheevaplug-installer-v1.0/uboot/uboot.bin with this version http://www.plugcomputer.org/index.php/us/resources/downloads?func=select&id=6 this version support better access to SD.

before you begin flash your uboot, please check and make sure the environment variable ethaddr match the MAC address at bottom of your plug computer.


I just realize it is really hard to explain something using someone else setup. I just don't know where to start
If you feel adventurous  I can share my current development. it take some manual works to boot but you get to see how I configure the system let me know.
