Yeah, I got fooled by this. Would had replied but you had it solve before I finished reading the thread. BTW, I have three Dockstars all with their own Seagate Freeagent Go drives running ARMedSlack 13.37RC1 and booting from Doozan's uboot. I also use his Rescue System.

I guess it's > just a different SOC that make sthe difference. As I've said: you are using a wrong "arcNumber". Doozan's u-boot is patched so that the arcNumber can be set as u-boot environment variable. Basically arcNumber is just some term used by Doozan. In the Linux kernel it is called machine type. Have a look at /usr/src/linux/include/generated/mach-types.h for a complete list. There you'll find: #define MACH_TYPE_DOCKSTAR 2998 #define MACH_TYPE_SHEEVAPLUG 2097 If you want your kernel to recognize the dockstar you have to use 2998 as arcNumber in u-boot. -- Thorsten Mühlfelder Salix OS: www.salixos.org ___ ARMedslack mailing list ARMedslack@lists.armedslack.org http://lists.armedslack.org/mailman/listinfo/armedslack

As far as I know kirkwood has 1 usb port that is connected to an onboard 4 port hub ... so all external usb ports should be exactly the same.

Re: [ARMedslack] jeff Doozan's uboot
Hum well the reboot after it worked failed again on all dockstar usb ports. No the only thing I recall different from when it worked is that I rebooted from Linux running on usb flashdrive with the lace usb HDU plugged in and modules loaded. The only explanation I've for that is that the lace USB HDU (more specifically the usb 2 sata adapter that is in the casing) requires firmware or something like that that uboot cannot handle. I tested a different usb HDU and it works ok ... it seems an issue with some specific models and not something that afflicts all usb HDUs. Concerning the leds ... while jeff's uboot is running the green led is flashing so the led is still working but there mist be something that goes wrong when 2.6.38-rc2 is loaded that does not happen on the other dockstar. Not sure if it;s something to do with jeff's uboot setup or with my brand new dockstar. If I notice any other odd stuff I'll update on this.

Do you have "Hardware: Seagate FreeAgent DockStar"? If not the "arcNumber" that gives u-boot to the kernel is wrong. IIRC arcNumber 2998 is the right one for the Dockstar. 2097 is Sheevaplug.
