Hi all.
first of all sorry for the lengthy post, but I have no idea how to cook it down.
A while ago I modded my GoflexNet according to Jeffs description ending up with a kernel from Linux-3.11.1-kirkwood-tld-1
(after fruitlessly trying to get a self compiled one working) and an appropriate initrd booting a Gentoo rootfs on sata port 0
(ext3@/dev/sda1).
I have a serial console hardwired, so accessing UBOOT is no Problem.
Problem was I also have a data partition (btrfs) and the harddisc at the second SATA port.
Since the btrfs tools are (by now) much newer than the kernel, I run into problems after balancing the btrfs. Those should be fixed with a newer kernel.
I upgraded UBOOT (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?3,12381) and then the kernel (http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,12096).
The UBOOT upgrade went fine.
For the kernel i prepared 2 kernels (method 4a) and 4b)) and upgraded my initrd.
Unfortunately both kernels do not boot from SATA, the kernel does not even init the SATA and therfore can not find the rootfs and panics.
Fortunately I made a backup of the old kernel+initrd, so i can still (manually) boot the old kernel.
Here is the backup version manually booting (already with the new UBOOT):
And here the non-booting version 4b)
(and using a longer name...)
Here is method 4a) non-working (additional dtb file)
my env is a hopeless mess now. the important parts are:
the initrd 'just' contains a copy of /lib/modules and for reasons I forgot also the stuff normally going to /boot (zImage, System.map, etc...)
and may not be needed at all. (too tired for experiments now. i needed it at some stage for the old kernel and left it at that. just upgraded to newer modules)
except for the unusual big initrd i can not find any reason why sata would be expected to not be working
Any thought is welcome!
Enno

I know this is not the recommend way to boot but a the moment it boots the backup kernel in a reliable way. once the new kernel boots from sata, i switch back to a proper env. except someone tells my i need a certain env setting to allow the kernel to detect the sata.)
the initrd 'just' contains a copy of /lib/modules and for reasons I forgot also the stuff normally going to /boot (zImage, System.map, etc...)
and may not be needed at all. (too tired for experiments now. i needed it at some stage for the old kernel and left it at that. just upgraded to newer modules)
except for the unusual big initrd i can not find any reason why sata would be expected to not be working
Any thought is welcome!
