Forgot to write that I tried this line manually:

That was with the original settings:
setenv bootargs_console console=ttyS0,115200
setenv bootcmd_usb 'usb start; ext2load usb 0:1 0x00800000 /uImage;
ext2load usb 0:1 0x01100000 /uInitrd'
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(bootargs_console); run bootcmd_usb;
bootm 0x00800000 0x01100000'
=> Does Uboot support ext4, or just ext2? Or is the 2011.12 release
too old, and I should either upgrade or go back to ext2 instead?

It looks like /dev/sd5 doesn't actually exist. This is probably
because the USB stick has an MBR partition table which by default
only provides partitions 1-4. You may need to pre-partition it
with a GUID partition table.

Good call. After using Windows' diskpart*, I removed the MBR and
converted to GPT. The installer went one step further… and failed:

Here's the log:
https://pastebin.com/raw/htYCmhS3
The ``bad block bitmap checksum'' relating to /dev/sda2, followed by
``Remounting filesystem read-only'' seems to be the source of your
problem.
After that point nothing's going to work because your new root
filesystem (/target/) is faulty, and is now read-only, so there's no way
to create the /target/boot directory, so the mount of the boot partition
fails.
My guess would be an underlying hardware fault on whatever /dev/sda2 is.
I don't suppose there's any chance it's a fake USB stick - see:

Cheers, Phil.
