Cannot boot root file system from NAND with GoFlex Home (1 reply)

Hello there!

First posting to this group. I recently had a problem with my GoFlex Home base. The unit would function fine but would display "axentraserver: root" when using DLNA on my home LAN. As suggested by many forum posts, it would be better to reflash the base unit with the stock 2.7.1 firmware from Seagate. I did this and hence the problem started...

For the record I was previously able to SSH/SFTP into the base, which has firmware v2.7.1-391.

To debug, I created the serial cable and was able to pull the boot log using Termite and a USB to TTL Serial Cable (Console Cable for Raspberry Pi) from AdaFruit. I tried I receive the following error when using 1) the bare base 2) the base and SATA HDD and 3) trying to reflash with USB stick and SATA HDD in-place:

I have tentatively started looking at the uBoot rescue image(?). Any other thoughts would be greatly appreciated
