Hello, I installed Debian on my SheevaPlug following instructions at <http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/> and everything seemed to work fine until...
I wanted to try UBIFS on the built-in flash and followed the instructions for formatting the internal flash at http://www.plugcomputer.org/plugwiki/index.php/Enabling_UBIFS except I made an empty image (no -r parameter for mkfs.ubifs). After the ubiattach command it complained about a read-only fs and some error messages from the kernel had appeared in the log: [ 190.500000] UBI: physical eraseblock size: 131072 bytes (128 KiB) [ 190.510000] UBI: logical eraseblock size: 129024 bytes [ 190.520000] UBI: smallest flash I/O unit: 2048 [ 190.520000] UBI: sub-page size: 512 [ 190.530000] UBI: VID header offset: 512 (aligned 512) [ 190.530000] UBI: data offset: 2048 [ 191.630000] UBI error: ubi_io_write: error -5 while writing 512 bytes to PEB 4054:512, written 0 bytes [ 191.630000] UBI warning: ubi_eba_write_leb: failed to write VID header to LEB 2147479551:0, PEB 4054 [ 191.640000] UBI: try another PEB [ 191.650000] UBI error: ubi_io_write: error -5 while writing 512 bytes to PEB 4053:512, written 0 bytes [ 191.660000] UBI warning: ubi_eba_write_leb: failed to write VID header to LEB 2147479551:0, PEB 4053 [ 191.670000] UBI: try another PEB [ 191.670000] UBI error: ubi_io_write: error -5 while writing 512 bytes to PEB 4052:512, written 0 bytes [ 191.680000] UBI warning: ubi_eba_write_leb: failed to write VID header to LEB 2147479551:0, PEB 4052 [ 191.690000] UBI: try another PEB [ 191.690000] UBI error: ubi_io_write: error -5 while writing 512 bytes to PEB 4051:512, written 0 bytes [ 191.700000] UBI warning: ubi_eba_write_leb: failed to write VID header to LEB 2147479551:0, PEB 4051 [ 191.710000] UBI warning: ubi_ro_mode: switch to read-only mode [ 191.720000] UBI error: autoresize: cannot auto-resize volume 0 Shortly after this the machine stopped answering ssh/ping and rebooted (I had panic on oops and reboot on panic turned on). I didn't have the serial console hooked up now so I didn't see messages, but the last time I tried it there was some slab corruption oops after the ubiattach attempt. The previous time it was using the stock lenny kernel, this time it was linux-image-2.6.30-1-kirkwood_2.6.30-3_armel.deb from http://people.debian.org/~tbm/orion/. I also get messages like this on boot: [ 4.420000] uncorrectable error : <3>uncorrectable error : <3>end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector 0 [ 4.430000] Buffer I/O error on device mtdblock0, logical block 0 [ 4.440000] uncorrectable error : <3>uncorrectable error : <3>end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector 0 [ 4.440000] Buffer I/O error on device mtdblock0, logical block 0 [ 4.480000] uncorrectable error : <3>uncorrectable error : <3>end_request: I/O error, dev mtdblock0, sector 0 but I'm hopeful it's because something is trying to automatically access the builtin flash which is in limbo state?
