Sheeva plug dont find ESATA after Debian install

[Håkan]

Hello!
I have a black ESATA Sheeva plug with preinstalled Ubuntu. But I decided to go for Debian, and install it on my ESATA HD instead (alot of more space). This was forced due to problem with update the Ubuntu dist (out of age).
Now my problem:
To install Debian I folowed this instructions http://www.cyrius.com/debian/kirkwood/sheevaplug/install.html
Everything went well, the installation program found the ESATA drive, and install Debian on my ESATA disk.
I made changes in uBoot according to the guide and finaly wrote: run bootcmd
Then I got:

Code:

Marvell>> run bootcmd                                                           
Reset IDE: Bus 0: ............................................................** Timeout **
** Bad partition 1 **
** Bad partition 1 **
Wrong Image Format for bootm command
ERROR: can't get kernel image!
Marvell>>

If I write:

Code:

Marvell>> ide dev

no IDE devices available
Marvell>>

I interpret this to mean that uBoot not find my ESATA.

What should I do to get my SheevaPlug up and running again with Debian?

Code:

Reset IDE: Bus 0: ............................................................** Timeout **

Is this timeout issue still there ?

When you type '?' at the uboot Marvell prompt, do you see 'ext2load' as one of the supported commands ?
If not, you will need to change the u-boot environment to load from fat, and convert the first partition where the 'uImage' file resides to fat.

Hello!
I install Debian on a SD card and the ext2load works correct. I also did a cuple of 'ide reset' command and found that the command work the first time after powering the ESATA-disk, but not the second and after.

So my conclution is that the error isnt on uBoot, but in the ESATA-disk.

My workaround is to power up my  Sheeva and the ESATA disk at ones, and it work as it should.

Thanks for the help!
