Pogo V4 - 2017.07 U-Boot Kirkwood installation problem (1 reply)

So I installed -according to me- the latest uboot (uboot.2017.07-tld-1.pogo_v4.bodhi + uboot.2016.05-tld-1.environment.bodhi) and a pretty new debian kirkwood (Debian-4.12.1-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi) on my pogoplug v4.

Problem is despite finiding on several guides that it should be possible to boot from sata HDD or SD card I never managed to get that working.
It only works when I boot from a USB flash drive in the top USB 2.0 port
on the sata drive I created a primary partition of 4GB which is ext3 and labeled rootfs and set as active (and same thing on an SD card).

This is printenv from uboot

When I only insert the sata drive or SD card it actually loads the kernel but then it always ends with:

Gave up waiting for root file system device.  Common problems:
 - Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
   - Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
 - Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT!  LABEL=rootfs does not exist.  Dropping to a shell!
