SheevaPlug fails to boot from SD

[Jonas Häggqvist]

I installed Debian on my plug, to an SD card following the instructions
from http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html

The install went fine, but I can't manage to get the last step working,
namely setting the plug up to boot Debian from the SD. I partitioned in
d-i, with a single partition for / plus a swap partition.

It will work after you execute the following commands:

setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv arcNumber 2097
saveenv
reset

The variables are case-sensitive, and you have to change mainlineLinux
to yes.

That's a different issue to the one Jonas is running into.

I'm not sure, but can you try

setenv bootcmd_mmc 'mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x0800000 /boot/uInitrd; ext2load mmc 0:1 0x400000 /boot/uImage'
or
setenv bootcmd_mmc 'mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0:2 0x0800000 /boot/uInitrd; ext2load mmc 0:2 0x400000 /boot/uImage'

Is your root partition the first primary partition on the SD card or
which one?

Neither of these seemed to help.

It's the first partition. Dump from fdisk:

I haven't spotted a correction I might suggest, but if it helps at all,
I have kept all my configurations from the default factory configs,
through dual-boot SD|NAND, which is what I'm using currently - perhaps
they will give you an idea or two.

Could you try:

setenv bootcmd_mmc 'mmcinit; mmcinit; ext2load mmc 0 0x0800000 /boot/uInitrd; ext2load mmc 0 0x400000 /boot/uImage'

There are some people who said that running "mmcinit" twice helped
them... maybe it also helps in your case.

If that doesn't help, I'm out of ideas and suggest you post to the
OpenPlug forum.

Just to follow-up here. The extra mmcinit didn't help either. Furthermore
ext2ls and fatls (on a FAT-formatted card) both fail, so I suspect a bug
in u-boot. If I load the kernel from TFTP, the system boots fine off the SD.

This is my thread on plugforum:
