Aug 26 06:47:17 <rigid> tinker-f595: the patches applied and looked reasonably... but what else todo so mmc/usb-storage gets detected at boot-time? did the device-names change maybe in 3.x?
Aug 26 08:49:36 <yaayaa> hi !
Aug 26 08:50:19 <yaayaa> I have an esata sheevaplug from newit and do not manage to get it detect my esata drive. any advice ?
Aug 26 08:51:00 <yaayaa> I update the kernel with 3.0.3 release on sheevawithlinux. Bootig from sd card. original uboot from newit.
Aug 26 09:29:08 <rigid> yaayaa: how did you get it to boot from sdcard with 3.0.3?
Aug 26 09:29:39 <rigid> It doesn't detect the card with 3.x ... are you using the uImage or did you do some special modifications?
Aug 26 09:30:18 <yaayaa> well, I use setenv in uboot.
Aug 26 09:30:23 <rigid> dunno about esata, tho... Did you check if there's support in the kernel?
Aug 26 09:30:41 <rigid> yaayaa: to what did you set the bootargs? mmcblk0p1 doesn't seem to work
Aug 26 09:30:56 <yaayaa> but what you're telling me makes me understand why it only works on reset. SD card is not detected on power on/off
Aug 26 09:31:58 <yaayaa> what is the latest recommended kernel that can detect esata ?
Aug 26 09:32:35 <rigid> ah... do you boot entirely from sd-card using uboot? I tried to use mmcblk0p1 as root (using "root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw" as boot-param)
Aug 26 09:32:57 <yaayaa> I used : setenv bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5'
Aug 26 09:33:19 <yaayaa> and : setenv bootcmd_mmc 'mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x800000 /uImage'
Aug 26 09:33:25 <rigid> yaayaa: dunno, i guess it should work with 3.0.3... Do you get some message about esata while kernel-boot?
Aug 26 09:33:56 <rigid> yaayaa: do you have 2 partitions on your SD-Card?
Aug 26 09:34:08 <rigid> i didn't use the rootdelay option... that could do the trick
Aug 26 09:36:30 <rigid> yaayaa: it WORKED! thanks a lot mate! :)
Aug 26 09:36:39 * rigid jumps up and down happily
Aug 26 09:37:56 <yaayaa> rigid: havent checked yet. will do tonight. And yes, the sheevawithlinux 3.0.3 kernel has esata support by default (can check in config)
Aug 26 09:38:11 <yaayaa> rigid: you're welcome.
Aug 26 09:38:13 <rigid> yep, just checked
Aug 26 09:38:32 <rigid> i don't have the eSATA version so I don't see any messages about it on boot
Aug 26 09:39:13 <yaayaa> using usb plugged on a hub, I sometimes have some io errors and the disk is remount read only
Aug 26 09:39:33 <yaayaa> I mean the HDD, not the sdcard
Aug 26 09:40:10 <rigid> i had lots of trouble with cheap hubs in the past...
Aug 26 09:41:49 <yaayaa> I will try to figure out how to make esata work tonight.
Aug 26 11:16:28 <rigid> reminder: someone affiliated with plugcomputer.org, please bug the wiki admin to fix the wiki so edits work again
Aug 26 11:17:03 <rigid> i'd be glad to help with mediawiki if needed
