EDmini Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC

[blackbird001]

Hi m8s,
Recently i got a EDmini without a disk. I dowloaded the the 3 imges sda6, sda7 and sda8 from another article in this forum and installed it.

The installation process was successful but the still doesn't work.

In the log from the serial console i get the error "Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC" how can i fix the CRC?

Please Help to fix.

Used tools: Ubuntu and GParted and DD

Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC
Marvell>>

[rosbif]

In the log from the serial console i get the error "Verifying Checksum ... Bad Data CRC" how can i fix the CRC?

It sounds as if the kernel image was corrupted during the download or the transfer.
(You didn't happen to do an FTP in ASCII between Windows and Linux, did you? This is a classic mistake.)
I should start off by downloading again and comparing the files.
Probably the best would be to compare their md5sum at various stages.
Maybe someone could give you the correct md5sum of the same kernel (but from a known working machine).

HTH.

Cheers,
Chris

[blackbird001]

@rosbif thank for your answer

i copied the files again now with bzip2 -cd sdaX.bz2 ¦ dd of=/dev/sdbX and now the checksum is ok
to check that the data was written correctly i was reading the data back to a new file and compared them in binary mode.

but the nas still doens't work

here's the log from serial console:

These messages come from U-Boot; after this the kernel should take over and output the following:

Code: Select all

...

It sounds as if Linux isn't outputting correctly to the serial port.
Check that the serial port and the baud rate are correct.
These are passed on the command line that boots the Linux kernel.
This comes from the U-Boot environment variable bootargs.
In bootargs you should have something like:

Code: Select all

console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda8 ro

I'm not entirely sure about sda8 (this may be from a version I have modified) but you should have "console=ttyS0,115200".

I note that you are trying to boot from sdb whereas mine boots from sda.
Do you have both sets of SATA connectors fitted?
I thought that the EDminiV2 only had one set fitted (the EBD has both).
If you have both try the others which should be sda.
However I don't think this is the problem at this stage in the boot process.

Cheers,
Chris

[blackbird001]

@rosbif your right the the EDminiV2 has fitted only one SATA connector. Do i have to set partition sda7 as active to from?

can anybody dump the env-variables from his drive to compare with mine?

btw: where have you seen that i try to boot from sdb? i used the sdb only to copy the date with dd because sda was already used by the internal disk of the laptop.

Code: Select all

Hi Eric,

Do i have to set partition sda7 as active to from?

No I don't think so; I didn't.

can anybody dump the env-variables from his drive to compare with mine?

Yours look OK to me.
In any case I've checked and the following one (the one I was mainly worried about) is right:

Code: Select all

bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda7 ro

btw: where have you seen that i try to boot from sdb?

Sorry, my mistake; it was the hdb in the following line which threw me

Code: Select all

Loading from IDE device 1, partition 6: Name: hdb6

I checked and mine says the same.

Cheers,
Chris

[blackbird001]

@rosbif

can you post me the output dump of command "map"

cheers
Eric

[rosbif]

can you post me the output dump of command "map"

Sorry, not easily: I haven't booted mine for probably nearly a year.
(When I said I checked it was in old logs I have on my PC.)
I am now playing with other toys

Can anybody else help?

One idea: maybe you could look to see if you have more of the boot log in a file /var/log/messages on the disk.
Unfortunately I'm not sure on which partition it would be; probably sda9 but it could be sda8 (or even sda7).
I don't remember if you can easily 'cat' a file from U-Boot; otherwise you'll have to do some disk swapping

Other than that I really have few ideas.
Do you really get nothing at all after:

Code: Select all

Uncompressing Linux......................................................................................................... done, booting the kernel.

Not even some funny characters?

I have the same problem, it happened after I did the uboot upgrade instructions from aribaud's website:

You can now tell that the uboot is updated, since the date is newer:

I have the same problem, it happened after I did the uboot upgrade instructions from aribaud's website

Do you mean that it worked OK until you did the upgrade and not afterwards?
Was the U-Boot upgrade really the only thing you changed?
@blackbird001: are you also using Albert's (aaribaud) upgrade?
I don't think Albert often reads this forum but if necessary I could contact him privately.

Which kernels are you trying to boot?
If I can find the time I could try them on my machine which still has the stock LaCie U-Boot.

Cheers,
Chris

Yes, it worked before the upgrade - see my full pre-upgrade output in this thread - after pushing the Power button... I was still using stock kernel-stock distro - with nothing changed at that point:
viewtopic.php?f=146&t=1941

If you look at the timestamps of blackbird001, he has the same timestamp for uboot so he could have the same updated uboot from aaribaud.

Then, the only thing I did is reassembling everything back in the case with a nice hole in the back for a DB9 connector for the serial port connection, similarly to what aribaud did with his own case.

From the logs, it looks like whatever was there before the upgrade, the stock lacie kernel and distro, is what it is attempting to boot. Are there arguments or something to pass to the kernel, something I would need to re-setup under the newer uboot which could have been lost from the uboot configuration ? Do I need to re-setup anything in uboot ?

I then followed the instructions, including the "erase all". If i press a button at the right time, I can get to the Uboot shell, here are some variables, unfortunately I did not capture this before the upgrade:

If you look at the timestamps of blackbird001, he has the same timestamp for uboot so he could have the same updated uboot from aaribaud.

I don't see the point of flashing U-Boot if you are just using the stock LaCie kernel.

*WARNING* Flashing U-Boot is a *very dangerous* operation.
You can easily brick your device and I do not know how to recover even with JTAG hardware.
AFAIK even Albert has not yet been able to access the FLASH using JTAG.

Are there arguments or something to pass to the kernel, something I would need to re-setup under the newer uboot which could have been lost from the uboot configuration ? Do I need to re-setup anything in uboot ?

I have never used Albert's U-Boot but I imagine that he has left most environment variables unchanged.
However it *could* be a mach-type problem.
The stock Marvell/LaCie U-Boot passes a bogus machine type 526 (= 0x20e) to the Linux kernel in the register r1.
A mainline Linux kernel requires the official machine type 1756 (= 0x6dc) which I registered.
AIUI Albert's U-Boot passes this official machine type.
However the stock LaCie kernel *may* require the bogus machine type which is passed by their stock U-Boot.

Marvell>> bdinfo
arch_number = 0x000006DC

This is the official machine type and not the bogus one.
I do not know if it is hard coded or if you can change it from the U-Boot command line. Albert?

EDIT: I have looked quickly at Albert's patches and it seems as if a:

Code: Select all

setenv mach_type 526

from the U-Boot command line will do the trick
Plus IIRC with Albert's U-Boot you can save the environment variables permanently.
Kudos to Albert for doing things cleanly
I have not tested this so please would you kindly confirm whether this works and if it solves the problem?

If it is indeed a mach-type problem (which is not certain) you would seem to have these possibilities to boot the stock kernel:
a) change arch_number (EDIT: in fact set the environment variable mach_type to 526) from the U-Boot command line,
b) prepend a shim to the stock kernel. This would be one assembler instruction which loads 526 into r1,
c) reflash just arch_number in Albert's U-Boot code (dangerous),
d) reflash the stock U-Boot (dangerous).

Try a) and b) to check that this is really the problem before attempting c) or d).

HTH.

Try a) and b) to check that this is really the problem before attempting c) or d).

HTH.

Hi Chris,

Thanks a lot for your reply. You nailed it, it works !
I figured I would update uboot first, and I knew the risks... but i figured i should do this first, and then update the kernel and distro with something else - which I still plan to do. Next, i'll likely want to backup what I have...

This is a very nice workaround, it should be documented in Albert's page.
Here are the simple workaround commands (assumes you have serial access, you likely would not be here if you did not anyways)

To boot lacie stock kernels which require a different machine type:
- press a button to get uboot prompt
- setenv mach_type 526
- saveenv (optional, only if you wish to keep using the stock kernel)
- boot (can also use "reset" if you did saveenv)

The revert to aaribaud's image defaults, and use more up to date kernels:
- press a button to get uboot prompt
- setenv mach_type 1756
- saveenv (optional, only if you wish to keep this setting in flash)
- boot (can also use "reset" if you did saveenv)

I tested both.

Note: Have a look at how I cannot see my mach_type environment variable changed after I typed in the command, I typed bdinfo and printenv before and after my "setenv mach_type 526" command. It does the job, but you'll have no feedback that you changed something. Even after "saveenv" of the new mach_type of 526 and "reset", bdinfo still displays arch_number = 0x000006DC and there's no output of mach_type in printenv.

Thanks a lot for your reply. You nailed it, it works !

I'm glad it worked. Thanks for your feedback.

Note: Have a look at how I cannot see my mach_type environment variable changed after I typed in the command, I typed bdinfo and printenv before and after my "setenv mach_type 526" command. It does the job, but you'll have no feedback that you changed something. Even after "saveenv" of the new mach_type of 526 and "reset", bdinfo still displays arch_number = 0x000006DC and there's no output of mach_type in printenv.

Strange
When I looked quickly at Albert's U-Boot patches it seemed as if arch_number should be updated.
I'll try to look again when I have time and if necessary ask Albert.

Cheers,
Chris
