Hi,
I have purchased from NewIT a black eSata Sheevaplug (Debian Squeeze) with UBIFS-File system. I have read in your forum that the NAND only have a limited Read/Write cyles. So I decided to turn my Sheevaplug to an Multiboot Sheevaplug.
I have tried to setup my Sheevaplug to boot (Multiboot) Debian Squeeze from an SD-Card (16GB).
1.) Upgrade u-Boot (see
http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/uboot-upgrade.html)
2.) Get your image using
Wget http://www.newit.co.uk/drive-images/Sheevaplug/eSATA/transcend-8G-8048869376-NewIT-v1.3-debian-squeeze-eSATA/transcend-8G-8048869376-NewIT-v1.3-debian-squeeze-eSATA.img.gz
3.) Extract it
Gunzip transcend-8G-8048869376-NewIT-v1.3-debian-squeeze-eSATA.img.gz
4.) Copy it to SD
dd if=/image-location/transcend-8G-8048869376-NewIT-v1.3-debian-squeeze-eSATA.img of=/dev/mmcblk0
5.) Resize the SD-Card (see
http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,1231.0.html)
6.) Upgrade the Kernel on the SD-Card to 2.6.37.6 (see
http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,966.0.html)
7.) Change the u-Boot Parameters of the Sheevaplug to a "multiboot"-System (see
http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,194.0.html)
I don´t how but I have mixed up some Parameters, so that my Sheevaplug didn´t start to boot from NAND. So I have reflashed my Sheevaplug to boot it again from NAND according to this guide (see
http://www.newit.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=1996.0)
After I changed the Parameters to an "multiboot"-System. After I tried different parameters (also from other forums). Now I am stucked and have no idea to boot the System from my SD-Card.
My Boot-Screen:
SDHC found. Card desciption is:

Questions:1.) Can someone tell me, why my Sheevaplug didn´t start from my 16GB SD-Card
2.) I realized that after I set the parameters
Marvell>> setenv bootargs=console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2
Marvell>> setenv bootargs_root_mmc=root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootdelay=5

, my Sheevaplug stop loading the Kernel. It also don´t save the parameter setenv bootcmd_mmc" (see my u-Boot Parameters) and the line
setenv console=console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=nand_mtd:0xc0000@0(uboot)ro,0x1ff00000@0x100000(root)
looks strange (see my u-Boot Parameters). Due to limited sign, I can´t show the Bootscreen here.
3.) After I boot Debian Sqeeze from NAND I always see some errors:

Is that normal?
I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
