Nothing more happens... No console output. No network activity.

Any suggestions?

[benoitm974]

It seems you're no getting the console on on serial have you looked at the default configuration created if serial console is enable at kernel configuratio. Once done try booting if still not and you're sure kernel serial is compiled in kernel (not as a module) than also check the $console args format and ensure it match kernel 3.xx kernel syntax

[bekobuprot]

When I boot the kernel from Lenovo that is working, I get this in dmesg:

Code: Select all

Serial: 8250/16550 driver, 2 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
serial8250.0: ttyS0 at MMIO 0xd0012000 (irq = 41) is a 16550A
console [ttyS0] enabled

The kernels I build already had this option enabled:

Code: Select all

Console on 8250/16550 and compatible serial port

And this $console arg:

Code: Select all

set console console=ttyS0,115200

I also tried to boot a kernel build these ekstra options

Code: Select all

cat << EOF >> .config

Tried with console = ttyS0, ttyS1 and ttyAMA0.

I have returned the NAS to the store.

[doufas]

Firstly, thank you for all your work with this.. its good to see people helping others figure stuff out.

I have been trying to follow the guide on your wiki, but have run into some problems.

I am able to connect to the NAS via UART and stop to boot, but the images I am creating following this guide https://blog.night-shade.org.uk/2013/12 ... hf-rootfs/ don't seem to boot correctly, is there any chance of a link to the kernel you used and compiled?

Even better a dd image that I can write to a USB so that it boots the kernel and a debian rootfs? Please help, I am still learning linux and I got this NAS from work... Once I can get SSH access with my own kernel I can sort out everything I need...



If you were to recompile a kernel for use with this today.. which would you use?
Also, which linux distro for the rootfs? I want it to be minimal and I can build from that. Thanks again.

When I log into the stock firmware via SSH using serial, apt-get update doesnt work even as root.

I have been working on this for a long time haha on and off so any help is awesome

[benoitm974]

Hello.

Thanks for your feedback, the current port is fully integrated to linux mainline... so just compiling it and booting it will do. If you're looking for a arm debian you can take any raspdebian distribution that you can just copy to the linux partition. i won't have time to provide a full all done USB key.

[doufas]

Thanks for the reply!

Where can I compile it? I am having trouble.. I tried following the steps on my ubuntu machine as well as kali linux, but I can't get it to compile with your defconfig.

I followed this:

For building a kernel, download a mainline (3.15 or 3.16), apply the config attached, then apply DTS (copy it to arch/arm/boot/dts & edit the makefile to include this dts file as part of the dtbs make pahse) definition and do
make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- -j7 dtbs
cat arch/arm/boot/zImage arch/arm/boot/dts/armada-xp-lenovo-ix4300d.dtb > zud
mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n lenovo-ix4-300d-02 -d zud /tftpboot/uImage

I was trying to use the 3.18 kernel mentioned by another user.. are you saying just use the latest kernel? Can you just send me a link the uImage you use. Please, after I work it out I'll make a usb image for others to use.

I did manage to compile a kernel on ubuntu using the defconfig from your site and the previous commands the other user posted. I formatted a usb with 2 partitions 1 26M primary with the uImage on it and then a rootfs on 2nd part, but it seems the kernel wont work or its wrong format (

Code: Select all

Marvell>> usb reset;fatload usb 0:1 $loadaddr zImage;setenv bootargs $console $mtdparts root=/dev/sdb2 rw; bootm $loadaddr;

** Unable to read "zImage" from usb 0:1 **
Wrong Image Format for bootm command

Your kernel would be a nice help

Final edit:

Seems the command you give to boot has zImage in it when you need to use uImage. But after I start it just hangs on starting kernel, there is a rootfs ready on sdb2 so not sure

Marvell>> usb reset;fatload usb 0:1 $loadaddr uImage;setenv bootargs $console $mtdparts root=/dev/sdb2 rw; bootm $loadad

Problem was I wassn't using the right defconfig, the generic 1 doesnt work, the 1 from your site works.

There is a weird issue though, for some reason I cant boot off the usb unless i reboot first, so a cold boot doesnt work.

During boot though, the rootfs I was using ran out of memory.

Then it crashed..

Trying the stock rasberian crashes as well.

[doufas]

Got it working with 4 drives in and flashed nand so it boots off a partition on first disk.

Next step is to try and get the lcd driver working.. cant compile it tho.

Dear Doufas,

I've get a non-working machine, with a broken display, without HDDs for free, but certainly it's not working.

I tried to recover it using Lifeline device imager, and an old 250GB Samsung HDD in slot 1. The process goes well. Start flashing, after a few minutes it's shutting down. It creates one 20 GB raw partition on the HDD and leave the rest unpartitioned.

After reboot, 3rd led lit (white), 2nd led flashing blue (hdd starts) then lit. Sometimes it asks for an IP from dhcp (I can ping it, but web interface refuse connection). Sometimes it doesn't even get ip.

So long story short: I'd like to try this bare debian on it. Honestly I ain't know anything about how to compile a kernel, etc. So sharing your images would highly appreciated I'd really like to try it. You are my only chance to make this thing operating.

Thank you!

Sorry but there is no image and its quite complex. If you can connect by UART, then the rest is all here in 1 form or another.. use the 3.18 base kernel, compile it using the defconfig provided by OP (rename .config and copy). Look into cross compile ubuntu armhf. That will get you a zImage.
Then run script from ixd wiki to make uImage. You can boot this multiple ways using uboot.
Then this url to build a rootfs on same box: https://blog.night-shade.org.uk/2013/12 ... hf-rootfs/.
good luck....

Also Q for OP:
After I compiled your wimlcm i dont have /dev/lcm ... its the last thing id like to get working..

[Gyuri]

Thanks for your encouragement! I almost did it

Here is what I already tried:
- using 3.18 and 4.4 kernel.
- copy rootfs to the 2nd partition of the pendrive, and load from there.

Code: Select all

usb reset;fatload usb 0:1 $loadaddr uImage;setenv bootargs $console $mtdparts root=/dev/sda2 rw; bootm $loadaddr;

- re partition HDD, format 2nd partition (tried ext3,ext4) and copy rootfs there.

Code: Select all

usb reset;fatload usb 0:1 $loadaddr uImage;setenv bootargs $console $mtdparts root=/dev/sdb2 rw; bootm $loadaddr;

And here is what i get:

Code: Select all

After this, nothing happens. Could you give me a hint how to go further?

[Gyuri]

Update: If I use wheezy rootfs & and kernel 4.4 then I can login! But network is not available yet.
edit: after configuring /etc/network/interfaces everything is fine!

ps: first I tried with jessie.

[Gyuri]

I followed the instructions from the wiki about "Flashing for booting custom kernel from nand". Flashing went well, but as you can see below I couldn't mount rootfs.

My question is that how can I tell the kernel, that the rootfs is on /dev/sda2?

Thanks,
Gyuri

[Gyuri]

I followed the instructions from the wiki about "Flashing for booting custom kernel from nand". Flashing went well, but as you can see below I couldn't mount rootfs.

Ok I done it:
stop autoboot and then:

Code: Select all

setenv bootargs_root "root=/dev/sda2 rw"
saveenv
reset

No I feel myself (I think) as Benoitm974 at the beginning of this topic as I continuously replying to my own posts

Well that's it, everything is working now! Thanks Benoitm974 for your work, and thanks Doufas for your encouragement. This was my first kernel compilation ;D

ps.: if anyone knows why jessie is not working, then please share with me.
