Isn't this a well known issue with usb-booted devices? See e.g. http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Debian/TroubleShooting (section "The slug fails to reboot with 2 drives connected"). I guess you have already figured out that you can boot by detaching all devices except the boot disk.
Will it perhaps be solved when (if?) Squeeze introduces UUIDs in /etc/fstab, or is it an unsolvable problem since the kernel doesn't pick up the boot device from /etc/fstab (according to the above link)? Hmm, seems I came up with more questions than answers. Help, anyone? /Björn On Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 21:19, Douglas Lopes Pereira < douglaslopespere...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi guys, > > I'm trying to power up my Sheeva Plug (which is configured to boot > Martin's debian from USB drive) with my USB drive connected over an > USB hub with other devices on it (i.e Usb headset). > > Uboot identifies the devices connected but does not recognize my USB > drive and get stuck. > > This is what I see from my terminal: > > ======================= TERMINAL OUTPUT ========================= > U-Boot 1.1.4 (May 13 2009 - 13:10:52) Marvell version: 3.4.16 > > U-Boot code: 00600000 -> 0067FFF0 BSS: -> 006CF100 > > Soc: 88F6281 A0 (DDR2) > CPU running @ 1200Mhz L2 running @ 400Mhz > SysClock = 400Mhz , TClock = 200Mhz > > DRAM CAS Latency = 5 tRP = 5 tRAS = 18 tRCD=6 > DRAM CS[0] base 0x00000000 size 256MB > DRAM CS[1] base 0x10000000 size 256MB > DRAM Total size 512MB 16bit width > Flash: 0 kB > Addresses 8M - 0M are saved for the U-Boot usage. > Mem malloc Initialization (8M - 7M): Done > NAND:512 MB > > CPU : Marvell Feroceon (Rev 1) > > Streaming disabled > Write allocate disabled > > > USB 0: host mode > PEX 0: interface detected no Link. > Net: egiga0 [PRIME], egiga1 > Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 > (Re)start USB... > USB: scanning bus for devices... > USB device not responding, giving up (status=20) > 4 USB Device(s) found > scanning bus for storage devices... > > ======================= TERMINAL OUTPUT ========================= > > Does anyone know how to boot my system without removing other stuff > from my usb hub? > > Thanks for your attention. > > Regards, > Douglas > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
