I've been trying to install ARMedslack on my Dreamplug (ser:
1148-XXXXXX) by following Stuart's excellent instructions in
INSTALL_KIRKWOOD.TXT, but have been unable to get the system to boot.
I believe it is due to a problem with my u-boot which I scrambled
earlier. I have been able to find only one version of u-boot that will
run on this machine (the guruplug version from
http://www.armedslack.org/maint_kirkwooduboot loads but hangs after a
'reset'). This one works:
Marvell>> version
U-Boot 2011.03-00012-g1a93b51-dirty-pingtoo-v1.2 (Jun 15 2011 - 22:44:57)
Marvell-DreamPlug
armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Gentoo 4.4.4-r2 p1.3, pie-0.4.5) 4.4.4
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.20.1.20100303
I am following Stuart's instructions with two exceptions:
1. I am using dream-2.6.38.4-uImage (renamed uImage-kirkwood) from
with-linux instead of uImage-kirkwood from the distribution due to a
known problem with uImage-kirkwood on the Dreamplug.
(http://lists.armedslack.org/2011-August/000978.html)
2. I am using a fat16 boot partition rather that the ext2 partition
Stuart uses in his documentation, so I have changed all references to
"ext2load" to "fatload" in the bootcmd
The system loads uinitrd-kirkwood okay, then loads uImage-kirkwood
(which is really dream-2.6.38.4-uImage), but hangs after:
"Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."
I don't think this is the problem, but does anyone see any problems with
my u-boot variables? Also, I've read that newer Dreamplugs (#114 and
later) have some differences from the earlier version. Could this be
why the majority of u-boot versions I've found do not run on this
machine? Any ideas on where I can find a suitable u-boot? I tried the
version referenced here:
(http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1977.0) but that version
hangs also.
Any input is appreciated!
Thanks,
Jim
