When I first was testing the sata boot, I did not have the sata
drive connected properly, and I watched the system also try to
scan usb. So I thought, that maybe usb boot was also enabled. I
powered down and did the sata test successfully.
So this evening I put the partitions on an IDE drive connected
via a USB adapter. The drive is rated at .5A, and works fine on
my notebook. I plugged it into my Cubietruck and as you will see
below, the partitions were found. The USB adapter was plugged
into the top USB port, and a USB hub that has the keyboard and
mouse were plugged into the lower USB port. I have a USB IDE
enclosure that provides 1A (one of those with 2 USB male plugs, I
can put the second into a USB powersupply) if you think the
failure was power related. I really don't so won't try that test
unless asked. Bottom
line
is those of us with a SATA port have sata boot. Those without
will have to at least keep the /boot partition on the SD card to
point to the USB drive.
USB1: USB EHCI 1.00
scanning bus 1 for devices... 1 USB Device(s) found
scanning usb for storage devices... 0 Storage Device(s)
found
Note how u-boot says that it is not seeing any usb storage devices...
My first hunch is that the drive is simply not getting enough power,
try with a usb "stick" type device, that should work.
I put it in a powered USB/IDE enclousure and it started the boot,
but then failed. I am including the beginning and ending of the
serial console, which is 30K long, so I am not posting it to this
list. If anyone wants the whole console capture, tell me where to
send it.

You might want to save "/run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt" to a USB
stick or /boot
after mounting them and attach it to a bug report.

=================================
I have also saved /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt if you want to see
that.
This looks to me like your ramdisk / initrd does not contain the
necessary usb modules.
So what are the necessary usb modules and how do I get them? This USB
drive was built from:
you need ehci_platform and ohci_platform and phy_sun4i_usb and their
deps. They are already
on your system, you need to regenerate the initrd with them included.
It seems this is a working senario for many boards, particularly once
you get uboot to work in NAND. Running off an SD card is fine, for a
simple platform, but if Fedora-arm is going for the new
desktop/notebook, better media than SD is needed, IMHO. So,
particularly with those boards that have USB 3.0, booting from a usb
connected HDD/SSD seem to be a desired thing.
Thus I hope that a future build will have these as part of initrd, or
there will be a simple way to add them.
thanks for all the support.
