now that the system has been testet and working ok with bodhi kernel(5.13.6-kirkwood-tld-1)and stock uboot(ancient)
Im willing to try to use new uboot to make this box permanent auto-boot
after loading the uboot with kwboot and applying variables as per tutorial using uboot.2017.07-tld-1.goflexhome.mtd0.kwb
kernel boots and finds all the drives(4) but spams the console/dmesg with:
dmesg output:
lspci:
default args for goflexhome:
what could be the reason for this?
EDIT:
after changing some variables and removed all but 1 drive, it managed to boot without spamming message:
changed variables:
what is the a proper way to boot bodhi kernel with new uboot?
