[bookworm] Linkstation Live v2 kernel v6.1.0-9 fails to boot (initrd disabled), installer v5.10.136 works #182

Open digitalcircuit opened 1 year ago

digitalcircuit commented 1 year ago

After following the Debian guide for upgrading to bookworm, I've gotten an unbootable Linkstation Live v2.

Good to hear from you!

It's been taking an increasing number of tweaks behind the scenes to keep these devices booting modern kernels using their original bootloaders.

The issue that you are encountering happens because the compressed kernel unpacks itself into the beginning of memory when it starts. Modern kernels are now getting large enough that this will overwrite the initrd when loaded into it's default address. The reason this stops happening when using my kernel image is because I wrote some assembly code that I append to the front of the kernel which moves the initrd farther down in memory before starting to the kernel to prevent this.

The easiest way to correct this might be to re-install using my bookworm installer images once I post them in the next day or two. Otherwise you could look at the install scripts in the repo and replicate the steps for enabling the "bootshim" on your system.

Another thing to watch out for with that model is a 7MB limit for the initrd (uboot crashes if you try to load a file bigger than that). I've worked around that in a couple of ways for devices using my installer process:

digitalcircuit commented 1 year ago

First, thank you for all the effort to keep these devices alive. The fact I've gotten around 14 years of service from this Linkstation Live v2 is great! Both from a budget sense, and reducing electronics waste.

I appreciate your detailed explanation and solution. In the future, I may reinstall using your upcoming bookworm installer images.

But, as I didn't want to wait nor deal with reinstalling, I've documented the steps I took in the off-hand chance it helps others who run into this issue…

  1. Boot into the installer kernel to get a working system
    • The easiest approach may be to pull the drive out of the Linkstation and copy uImage.buffalo.lsgl over top of uImage.buffalo in the boot partition
    • Alternatively, you can save this as uImage.buffalo.installer, then with a hardware serial console cable connected, interrupt the second u-Boot "Hit any key to stop autoboot" prompt (not the first one), then run setenv kernel uImage.buffalo.installer followed by boot
  2. Log in as your standard user
  3. Fetch and install the bootshim tools 
    
cd $(mktemp -d)
# Download tools
wget "https://github.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/raw/master/Tools/0-install_shim"
wget "https://github.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/raw/master/Tools/bootshim/armel_shim"

Copy bootshim locally

sudo cp "armel_shim" "/boot/bootshim"

Ensure bootshim is installed with kernel updates

chmod 755 "0-install_shim" sudo cp "0-install_shim" "/etc/initramfs/post-update.d/"

Install bootshim into all kernels right now

sudo "/etc/initramfs/post-update.d/0-install_shim"

4.  Confirm that bootshim is installed
```sh
user@hostname:/tmp/tmp.a6h2T8YYQL$ sudo "/etc/initramfs/post-update.d/0-install_shim"
bootshim installed to /boot/vmlinuz
bootshim installed to /boot/vmlinuz-5.10.0-23-marvell
bootshim installed to /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-9-marvell
user@hostname:/tmp/tmp.a6h2T8YYQL$
  1. If you booted into the installer kernel by overwriting the file on disk (instead of temporarily modifying the u-Boot environment), reinstall the latest kernel to overwrite the installer kernel 
    
dpkg -l 'linux-image*-marvell*'

sudo apt install --reinstall [YOUR_LATEST_KERNEL_VERSION]


In my case, as I am not using the custom kernel, the last two entries are…

ii linux-image-6.1.0-9-marvell 6.1.27-1 armel Linux 6.1 for Marvell Kirkwood/Orion ii linux-image-marvell 6.1.27-1 armel Linux for Marvell Kirkwood/Orion (meta-package)

So my resulting command is…
```sh
user@hostname:/tmp/tmp.a6h2T8YYQL$ sudo apt install --reinstall linux-image-6.1.0-9-marvell

You should see something like this in your apt output…

[…]
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-6.1.0-9-marvell
bootshim installed to /boot/vmlinuz-6.1.0-9-marvell
Using DTB: orion5x-linkstation-lsgl.dtb
[…]
  1. If initrd winds up exceeding 7 MB (untested - my current initrd is 5.9 MB, so I am skipping this step for now), install the custom kernel… 
    sudo wget -O /etc/apt/custom_repo.gpg https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/PPA/KEY.gpg
sudo apt-key add /etc/apt/custom_repo.gpg
source /etc/os-release
echo "deb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/PPA/ $VERSION_CODENAME main" | sudo tee "/etc/apt/sources.list.d/buffalo_kernel.list"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y install linux-image-marvell-buffalo
  2. Prepare your recovery method just in case (serial console, pulling the drive out, etc), then reboot
  3. Log in as your standard user and check kernel version 
    uname -r

    In my case…

    user@hostname:~$ uname -r
6.1.0-9-marvell

Nice work!

1000001101000 commented 1 year ago

The Bookworm installer files are up now.

digitalcircuit commented 1 year ago

Thanks for the heads up! I see that the bootshim scripts are updated, so I'll update it on my Linkstation Live.

The one other issue I've run into so far after moving to bookworm without reinstalling is occasional brief single beeps, and this morning it started flashing error and beeping in two tones.

Though the fan seemed to be running, it felt warm. I'm guessing I also need to set up your micon_scripts's fan daemon for fan control, even though micro-evtd's config file claims it handles fan control. Alternatively, though it didn't seem too dusty, I might just need to clean out the internals.

(I will look into reinstalling at some point to clean up the cruft from the years and ensure I've got everything as it should be.)

I'm guessing this issue can be closed, unless you'd like to keep it open as a heads up to anyone else upgrading to bookworm.

1000001101000 commented 1 year ago

if you’re using my micro-evtd binary the features from the config won’t work. looking back I should have renamed my fork of micro-evtd to something else.

The original micro-evtd has a ton of features like fan control but is also aggressively specific to the LS-GL.

The only feature I was interested in was its ability to send arbitrary micon messages using a small binary that could fit in a 7mb installer. So I removed basically everything else, added support for missing message types (mainly LCD stuff) and setup the build process…. I’ve found it quite amusing using it on armel,armhf,amd64 and powerpc systems.

digitalcircuit commented 1 year ago

Ah, that's good to know. I'm still using the original micro-evtd binary as shipped with the installer for Debian 7, possibly Debian 6, so I will not try to update it from this repository without also applying all the other related changes you've included.

I'll keep monitoring the beeps, and if it keeps happening I'll look into other potential causes, and simply reinstalling with your installer images.

Thank you!

Context for legacy micro-evtd trouble

This is not an issue with your installer! This is a result of myself seeing how far I can get without doing a full reinstall.

Over the past month, the beeping has randomly continued, and systemctl restart micro-evtd works around it for an hour to a couple days.

It seems like the watchdog service part of the old (Debian 7-ish) micro-evtd is failing, so I've tried migrating to your simplified micon_scripts.

How to upgrade to micon_scripts

In case this helps anyone else upgrading a legacy Debian install who doesn't want to go through the whole install process, here are the steps I took…

# Check some requirements to try to ensure a similar system
if ! command -v "micro-evtd" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "You need to have the legacy Debian 'micro-evtd' command already installed to follow this migration guide." >&2
    sleep 5
    exit 1
fi
if ! command -v "microapl" >/dev/null 2>&1; then
    echo "You need to have the legacy Debian 'microapl' command already installed to follow this migration guide." >&2
    sleep 5
    exit 1
fi

# Prepare
cd "$(mktemp -d)"

# Install Python libraries
# (These were missing from my installation - you might be missing more!)
sudo apt install python3-serial

# Download micon-scripts
mkdir "micon_scripts"
cd "micon_scripts"
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/Tools/micon_scripts/libmicon.py"
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/Tools/micon_scripts/micon_boot.service"
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/Tools/micon_scripts/micon_fan_daemon.py"
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/Tools/micon_scripts/micon_fan_daemon.service"
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/Tools/micon_scripts/micon_shutdown.py"
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/Tools/micon_scripts/micon_startup.py"
wget "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/1000001101000/Debian_on_Buffalo/master/Tools/micon_scripts/serial_console.py"
cd ".."

# Move scripts into place
sudo cp -r "micon_scripts" "/usr/local/bin/"
sudo cp micon_scripts/*.service /etc/systemd/system/
sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/micon_scripts/*.py

# Skip the shutdown service for now, keep using the legacy one
# sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/micon_scripts/micon_shutdown.py /lib/systemd/system-shutdown/micon_shutdown.py

# Disable the legacy micro-evtd daemon
sudo systemctl disable micro-evtd.service

# Enable the new daemons
sudo systemctl enable micon_boot.service
sudo systemctl enable micon_fan_daemon.service

# Check that at least micon_boot works now
sudo systemctl start --wait micon_boot.service
sudo systemctl status micon_boot.service

# Reboot
sudo reboot

Results

Services are successfully enabled and the Linkstation power LED stops blinking on boot.

I am still testing this and will edit my comment with an update on the beeping/watchdog service.

EDIT 2023-7-20: The beeping has stopped! With this, my upgrade to bookworm without reinstalling is successful.
