**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Tue Oct 27 02:59:56 2009 Oct 27 09:05:01 Hi, almost got something working with my Debian Squeeze on internal flash "project", but run out of skill. http://plugcomputer.org/plugforum/index.php?topic=878.0 Anyone smart enough to help out? Oct 27 10:59:46 Anybody know what might be wrong with my setup when the last message I get is "Uncompressing Linux" ....... done, booting the kernel Oct 27 10:59:57 Am I not actually loading the kernel possibly? Oct 27 12:32:17 tbm, oh, haven't seen you here. hi :) Oct 27 12:46:07 mjl-: still there? Oct 27 12:47:12 mjl-: ah, not you, sorry Oct 27 12:54:41 bummer ;) Oct 27 14:11:38 <_LM_> Hi! I've installed Debian on my plug (on SD), upgraded u-boot to 3.4.19. Everything works ok, but the plug will not boot if I don't have a console connected. Is there something I've missed? Oct 27 14:12:44 <_LM_> If I've got the console connected, it boots by itself. If I don't have the console connected it doesn't boot and when I connect the console and press enter (after a loooong time) I get the Marvel>> prompt. Oct 27 14:16:36 _LM_: check u-boot env vars. printenv bootcmd, iirc Oct 27 14:17:21 <_LM_> Got any idea on what to check for? bootcmd=setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console) $(bootargs_root); run bootcmd_mmc; bootm 0x400000 0x0800000 Oct 27 14:17:40 <_LM_> It boots correct if the console is connected, but not otherwise. Oct 27 14:18:33 <_LM_> bootcmd_mmc=mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0 0x0800000 /boot/uInitrd; ext2load mmc 0 0x400000 /boot/uImage Oct 27 14:19:22 _LM_: it looks like it waits you to boot from an SD/MMC card Oct 27 14:19:43 bootm is the booting part Oct 27 14:19:57 <_LM_> Yes, It should boot from my SD/MMC card, and it does that if the console is connected Oct 27 14:20:09 _LM_: i can't remember from memory, but check your config with the wiki config Oct 27 14:20:50 _LM_: i do not see any relation with your console Oct 27 14:22:27 <_LM_> I've checked and double checked. It's pretty hard to debug, because with console connected everything works. It's only with console unplugged it doesn't boot. Oct 27 14:22:39 <_LM_> Thanks for you help anyway. Oct 27 14:24:12 _LM_: there was another user having same issue, you are not the only one Oct 27 15:31:50 _LM_: you may need a rootdelay to give time for the card to wake up Oct 27 21:03:45 http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Marvell-Armada-100-500-600-and-1000 Oct 27 21:03:49 more marvell processors ? Oct 27 21:46:48 rektide: yep Oct 27 22:25:47 Hi, I just got a minimal Debian Squeeze on my plug, and I wanted to check I have picked up all the tweaks that were applied by marvel to the Ubuntu image. In particular the one that wipes the apt cache. I can't see how it's done. Anyone know? Oct 27 23:48:16 can someone help me set the console uboot environment variable back to the default? Oct 27 23:48:36 right now it is "console=a0000" Oct 27 23:49:31 I am using "set console 'console=ttyS0,115200' " but that creates a new variable "e" every time for some reason Oct 28 00:16:23 woohoo!! I just got the plug to boot the kernel and mount the root on nfs but.... Oct 28 00:16:54 AndrewFBlack, Oct 28 00:16:54 Initialization stops right after mounting with this message: Warning: unable to open an initial console. Oct 28 00:18:08 The plug responds to ping but refuses SSH connections... Oct 28 00:45:53 wait... It looks like when I extracted the rootfs tarball, not everything got extracted... Just ran tar as root and the fs looks much better Oct 28 00:48:36 hmm... got a little further along. Seems as though the loading hardware drivers step screwed up the ethernet link Oct 28 00:50:02 duh.. Forgot to go back and edit /etc/network/interfaces after re-extracting the rootfs tarball Oct 28 00:53:23 YAY!! I logged into my plug while booting from TFTP and NFS for the first time!!! **** ENDING LOGGING AT Wed Oct 28 02:59:58 2009
