Need help to boot debian on USB with more devices connected
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: 0060 - 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 0x size 256MB DRAM CS[1] base 0x1000 size 256MB DRAM Total size 512MB 16bit width Flash: 0 kB Addresses 8M - 0M are saved for the U-Boot usage.

Re: Need help to boot debian on USB with more devices connected
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).

I guess you have already figured out that you can boot by detaching all devices except the boot disk. That's an entirely different problem. The problem described on the NSLU2 page is about Linux not mounting the right disk with multiple disks and this is indeed fixed in squeeze by the use of UUIDs. The problem Douglas describes is a bug in u-boot itself on the SheevaPlug. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

There's a new version of u-boot somewhere on http://openplug.org that you could try. Maybe it solves the problem (I'm not sure if it does since I haven't found the time to try it myself but I'm pretty sure you'll find the answer at http://openplug.org/plugforum/) -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-arm-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
