grab this one:
   http://www.plugcomputer.org/405/us/plug-basic/kernel/uImage.8.6plug
put it on the USB and rename it uImage2
then do
    usb start; fatload usb 0 0x800000 uImage2;bootm 0x800000

[Jimbob]

Same problem

Last thing for today.  I'll need to try this on one of my Sheevas
so give me the output from the Marvell>> prompt

I've done it, I needed to rename the uImage file to uImage2 and it seems to be loading You my friend are amazing!

[bigbear59]

Ok back to
  https://newit.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4564.msg11526.html#msg11526

Hopefully the system boots
Let's write a good uImage to the Flash
1.  Log into the Sheeva
2.  do cat /proc/mtd
dev:    size   erasesize  name
mtd0: 00100000 00020000 "u-boot"
mtd1: 00400000 00020000 "uImage"
mtd2: 1fb00000 00020000 "root"

if you see above then
3.  then mount the USB, do fdisk -l to see which dev mount /dev/sdx /mnt put the right letter instead of x
4. do
  cd /usr/local/bin
  wget http://www.tonido.com/downloads/plug2/flash_eraseall
  wget http://www.tonido.com/downloads/plug2/nandwrite

5. flash_eraseall /dev/mtd1
    nandwrite -p /dev/mtd1 /mnt/uImage2

6. reboot

You should have a clean reboot

[Jimbob]

I went back to that, unfortunately the system won't boot, it just hangs after saying booting the kernel.

[bigbear59]

OK, power cycle
At the Marvell>> prompt Give me the output from
Enter
version

I'll get back to you in about 10 hours

[bigbear59]

Ok, so lets try this:
Download the following and place on the USB
sheeva-3.7.10-Modules.tar.gz
sheeva-3.7.10-Modules.tar.gz.md5
sheeva-3.7.10-System.map
sheeva-3.7.10-System.map.md5
sheeva-3.7.10-uImage
sheeva-3.7.10-uImage.md5

Do:
md5sum sheeva-3.7.10-uImage
a6d977b6c2776a13d230f5f041fa63b1  sheeva-3.7.10-uImage
cat sheeva-3.7.10-uImage.md5
a6d977b6c2776a13d230f5f041fa63b1  sheeva-3.7.10-uImage
Only continue if the above lines match

Remove the USB and insert into the Plug
Enter the following, at the Marvell>> prompt,one line at a time
setenv mainlineLinux yes; setenv arcNumber 2097
setenv mtdpartitions 'mtdparts=orion_nand:[email protected](uImage),[email protected](rootfs)'
setenv x_bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 mtdparts=orion_nand:[email protected](uImage),[email protected](rootfs)'
setenv x_bootargs_root 'ubi.mtd=1 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs'
setenv bootargs $(x_bootargs) $(x_bootargs_root)
setenv x_bootargs_console 'console=ttyS0,115200'
setenv bootargs $(x_bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(x_bootargs_root)
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(x_bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(x_bootargs_root); nand read.e 0x00800000 0x00100000 0x00400000; bootm 0x00800000'
saveenv

You are replacing the uImage, NO TYPOs
usb start; fatload usb 0 0x00800000 sheeva-3.7.10-uImage
nand erase clean 0x00100000 0x00400000
nand write.e 0x00800000 0x00100000 0x00400000

Once again, try to boot

[Jimbob]

Thanks so much, I will try this first thing tomorrow. I have just tried and I'm getting that line in use error again. My brain isn't working in the right gear to try and tackle it again now.

Thanks once again for all your help it's very much appreciated!

[Jimbob]

All those commands worked fine But when I try to boot I get:

Ok, I'm taking a wild guess but here we go:
Do
setenv mtdpartitions 'mtdparts=nand_mtd:[email protected](u-boot),[email protected](uImage)ro,[email protected](rootfs)rw'
setenv x_bootargs_root 'root=/dev/mtdblock2'
setenv bootargs $(x_bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(x_bootargs_root)
setenv bootcmd 'setenv bootargs $(x_bootargs_console) $(mtdpartitions) $(x_bootargs_root); nand read.e 0x00800000 0x00100000 0x00400000; bootm 0x00800000'
saveenv

boot

X= (emoticon for Fingers Crossed)
if this don't work it's time to boot from USB
