Steps to update your Linux Kernel for WD My Cloud Ex2

wdmc-ex2's Issues

does this kernel work for the WD cloud HOME?

The guide says Ex2, does this mean this does not apply to the WD cloud HOME?

Issue with "starting kernel"

Can be deleted! Issue was about the wrong partition

booting w/initrd has overlap error

I have a gen1 (armada 370)
Error is
INITRD: 0x00a00000+0x00519000 overlaps in-use memory region - disabling initrd

Does this error have to do with the stock uboot? Uboot guides I have found are for about updating uboot on Gen2. Is this possible on Gen1?

I am trying to run lvm root on mdraid but afaik the the only way is activating in initrd before booting the kernel.

Unable to get UART working..

Hi!

I have a WD EX2 Ultra, and I need your help.

I’ve solder the uart interface but it doesn’t work. I don’t know why, but I don’t get anything when the nas boot up. I press space, 1, all the combinations available,but nothing works. I have tested the connections several times, and it seem they are fine. WIth a multi tester I see there is connectivity between the two sides, and I don’t know what else I can do to fix or figure out what is going on here.

After one week, troubleshooting with @bodhi in this thread https://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,132015,133249,page=3#msg-133249, and seeing that it’s imposible that the WD boot with the new kernel and the ram disk without the u-boot updated, I need a dump of that partition ( /devmtd0) to flash my hand.

Could you please dump your u-boot partition? I guess it could the only chance I have to upgrade the WD to the new kernel.

Many thanks in advanced,

OMV for the WD MyCloud Home Duo

Hey i´m searching for a working Debian and OMV for the WD MyCloud Home Duo. I found a russian hack. Got it to work on one MyCloud Home Duo but now I´m currently working on a second one and i only got to the Telnet window but when I started the install script it wont boot. So I dont got ssh to work no IP adress.

If anyone knows anything please let me know. If needed I can share the current printouts of df -h and so on...

Thanks and a nice day :)
