Re: 2013.10 U-Boot for FDT and Non-FDT Kernel - GoFlex Net/GoFlex Home/Pogo E02/Dockstar/iConnect

WorldwoWires,

I am not sure what you are trying to do? why saveenv in netconsole prompt? can you boot with USB into debian with this box? if you can then do fw_setenv inside Debian, would that work? (you do not need to saveenv in uBoot, if you can boot into Debian). This is crucial to avoid mistakes, alway boot with a temporary set of uBoot envs, and then if everything went OK, redo it in Debian with fw_setenv.

How about doing this:
- boot back to Debian like you were able to before
- In Debian, install new uBoot.
- Verify netconsole envs are still intact.
- Before rebooting, get the output of fw_printenv and save it to the USB/SATA drive. Also, output of uname -a
- Start netconsole server on the other box
- Reboot this box, and interrupt netconsole, setenv whatever you like, get the final version of printenv output and save it. Don't do saveenv.
- boot with the USB/SATA boot drive still attached.

If it does not boot into Debian then post the final version of printenv output and post here.
