Hi, I followed the instructions in the 2017 uBoot thread for the Kirkwoods for my GoFlexNet (which still had a uBoot from 2011 ...). Everything worked fine (or so it seemed - see below) except for the setting of the ethaddr:
This could be remedied from the OpenWrt Rescue system.
However, when trying to boot the box using a USB drive which happily boots a Dockstar as well as a Pogo E02, I ran into EHCI timeouts. I was able to boot with an older kernel / rootfs from a Lexar USB 3.0 drive, unable with a Data Traveler drive, Kingston drive or any other I tried with the latest kernel / rootfs. Has anybody else seen the GFN be so picky about booting from USB?
Cheers,

root@gfn ~ $ fw_setenv ethaddr '00:10:75:XX:YY:ZZ' Can't overwrite "ethaddr"
