First off let me apologize for dredging this stinkin' issue up again. But, it seems that every time I touch one of my E02s, something goes wrong and over the last five years or so, it's always been the same thing - it hangs loading the kernel. And if you say it's my fault because I'm using old non-FDT systems, that's probably true. There's never enough time to update anything that works. Si non confectus, non reficiat.
At present all four E02s are down due to hopeful updates of the uboot that didn't fix the original issue and made things much worse than they were when the original problem occurred.
Herewith the information that I do have.
Console log when attempting to boot the web server disk, a SATA drive connected through a USB adapter. This drive was working when disconnected from the host this morning due to an apparent network interface failure.
What's in /boot on that (ext4) drive:
Console log when booting from the Patriot 64GB USB flash drive. This drive booted correctly when last used in its pwn host system.
