Hi Stuart,
I'm sorry this is going to be a non-answer as I haven't tried device tree
boot on my sheevaplug. Just wanted to answer this - "I don't believe that
the sheevaplug is actually an eSATA version - it doesn't have an eSATA port
-- maybe there's just support on board."
IIRC the original sh

I'm not exactly the foremost expert on this but ... my understanding is
that the initramfs, or initrd or whatever it is, contains a bunch of useful

hardware driver modules needed by the kernel ahead of when the main

I could use the same kernel config as debian orion5x kernels for
2.6.32, 3.1.8 and 3.2.51 kernels, and 3.2.51 has CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS
set. For 3.10 and (kernel.org sourced) 3.11 I need the flag set or I
get the described issue. So I don't *think* the sharespace bootloader
does anything weird because
Thanks for the quick response. So if I understand this correctly -

It also won't start without calling orion5x_pci_disable() before
pci_common_init(), which only a couple of the other boards need, so
maybe it is just weird...

you can't get it to go a lot faster in terms of data transfer etc. The
bottleneck seems to be the CPU.

Oh, does that work? That would be handy and simpler than the way I've been
doing it.
I should introduce myself - I'm "the other guy" mentioned in the head of
this thread. Really should have got around to publishing the sharespace

I got myself a cheap, small no-name USB thumb drive in a tech mall in
Singapore about 4/5 years ago. I used it as the main and swap disk for and

It was slow as treacle for anything that required disk access, though the

Hi all,
I've been hacking at a Western Digital Sharespace NAS for a while now and
have got device support code that builds/runs happily with the debian
squeeze kernel.
I have a problem to sort out that someone on this list may have seen before
perhaps - a couple of things refuse to run properly.
Hi there,
It's a while since I've played with my sheevaplug, but I'm all too familiar
with the boot sequence at the moment so hopefully I'll be able to give you
something useful here...
It looks like getty isn't running. Plug the memory stick into another
machine and open up the /etc/inittab and
Hi there,
I'm a n00b at kernel hacking, though I have about 10 years software
experience and I've been running debian on ARM devices for a few years now.
I'm trying to get a modern kernel to boot on a WD Sharespace at the moment
and would appreciate some advice/help.
