	Need help to boot debian on USB with more devices connected by Douglas Lopes Pereira :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message 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.

	Re: Need help to boot debian on USB with more devices connected by Björn Wetterbom-2 :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message 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 <douglaslopespereira@...> 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).

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-REQUEST@... 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-REQUEST@... with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I've found that u-boot's USB support is very unreliable, and it's pretty much pot luck whether it will deign to talk to any given USB storage device. I've also seen it crash and/or hang on various occasions. In addition, it's sensitive to the order of devices on the bus, and will frequently enumerate some devices but not others. If you really need to use USB, I can only suggest getting a handful of cheapo USB keys and trying each one until you've got something that u-boot will work with. I eventually gave up with USB and now boot from a SD card, using Martin Michlmayr's u-boot upgrade. This avoids the whole problem entirely (and is much faster to boot). -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ "They laughed at Newton. They laughed at Einstein.
