Thanks to the information available at this site, and to the great support of 'bodhi', I have successfully upgraded all my 3 Neatgear Stora NAS boxes to the latest versions of u-boot, u-boot environment, LInux and Debian. They are all running fine. Thanks, again!
There is one feature in paricular of the original stock Netgear firmware that I miss. From the user guide: "To correctly shut down your Stora, press and hold the Power button for about 5 seconds. The blue light on the front panel blinks before shutting off. If the unit is hung, press and hold the Power button to force shutdown." I do not know the other kirkwood boxes, but I assume some of them have a similar power button, and could benefit from making this feature available.
Is this a feature that can be enabled in the latest kernel (linux-4.10.9-kirkwood-tld-1 of 14 April 2017 )?
Or is there some development work that need to be done to make this work?
Regards,
Trond Melen
