Seagate GoFLEX Home won't boot off SATA HDD (2 replies)

So, I managed to flash bodhi's uboot on my Seagate GoFLEX Home (from here) and it has no problem to boot off of an external USB memory stick. However, when I attached a SATA HDD (already formatted as an EXT4 filesystem, labeled with rootfs, and contains a root filesystem extracted from linux-4.15.2-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2) to the SATA port, it boots off the SATA port with its LED first flashes as green/yellow and then turns to remain a solid RED. At this point, I can't access it through an SSH login, i.e. no IP Address, etc. Again, it has no problem when boot off of an external USB memory stick even though both USB memory stick and SATA HDD are attached to the device. I also configured it with a netconsole to troubleshoot uBoot without a serial cable. When booting from a SATA HDD, the netconsole output shows it was loading DTB /boot/dts/kirkwood-pogo_e02.dtb. However, when booting off of an external USB memory stick, the netconsole output shows it was loading DTB /boot/dts/kirkwood-goflexhome.dtb (see below). I don't know why. Anyway, the fw_printenv dump is shown below and hope it will reveal what the problem is.
