First install Debian 6 (squeeze). Put on FAT formatted pendrive: initrd.gz uImage-3.2 uImage-3.5.1
then boot from pendrive (one time, without saving it permanently to u-boot environment) Machine type is 4022
setenv arcNumber 4022
setenv mainlineLinux yes
usb start
fatload usb 0 0x800000 /uImage-3.2
fatload usb 0 0xb00000 /initrd.gz
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/ram initrd=0xb00000,0x900000 ramdisk=32768'
bootm 0x800000
and install Debian 6 system as usual. Installer will complain about no matching modules and no matching kernel. During installation, create small /boot ext3 partition for kernels.
To boot from HDD, copy uImage-3.2 from pendrive to HDD /boot partition and set u-boot:
From u-boot console, test partitions readability:
ide reset ide part ext2ls ide 0:1 ext2ls ide 0:3
In my example I got following partitions numbers:
Partition Map for IDE device 0 -- Partition Type: DOS
Partition Start Sector Num Sectors Type
1 309248 19222528 83
2 19533822 957237250 5 Extd
3 2048 307200 83
Where 3rd partition is small /boot partition, so we need to load kernel from 'ide 0:3'
setenv arcNumber 4022
setenv mainlineLinux yes
setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200 root=/dev/sda1'
setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; ext2load ide 0:3 0x800000 /uImage-3.2; bootm 0x800000'
saveenv
reset
or 3.5.1 kernel:
setenv bootcmd 'ide reset; ext2load ide 0:3 0x800000 /uImage-3.5.1; bootm 0x800000'
Put following sources into /etc/apt/sources.list

apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get install linux-base firmware-realtek apt-get clean
Install missing packages:
apt-get install uboot-envtools smartmontools strace watchdog hdparm
mkdir /lib/modules/3.5.1 depmod -a
To turn ON System LED (disable blinking) please add line to /etc/rc.local:
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/nsa310:green:System/brightness
Create /etc/fw_env.config with content:
/dev/mtd1 0x0000 0x20000 0x20000 4
After bootup, ethernet controller has MAC address '00:00:00:00:00:30'. There are several method to restore correct MAC address which can be obtained from u-boot env: 1) add to /etc/rc.local
ifdown eth0 /sbin/ifconfig eth0 hw ether `fw_printenv -n ethaddr` ifup eth0
or
/sbin/ip link set eth0 address `/usr/bin/fw_printenv ethaddr | /bin/grep -E -o '[[:xdigit:]]{2}(:[[:xdigit:]]{2}){5}'`
2) add line to /etc/network/interfaces
hwaddress ether cc:5d:4e:c9:fc:06
3) Edit and set MAC here: /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
Wake-on-lan will work only with fake MAC '00:00:00:00:00:30'
Add these lines in /etc/sysctl.conf:
# Set VM min memory vm.min_free_kbytes=8192
Ref: http://masu.6f.sk/index.php?title=Nsa310_buttons Button works, but requires long pressing > 1sec.
Detect PWM devices and calibrate fan RPMs using 'pwmconfig'. After many questions an tests the config file /etc/fancontrol will be generated.

There's no need to keep pestering the poor guy over simple config changes. It's easy to build your own kernel; the instructions are right there in the first post. On a debian host you need to add the emdebian repo and install gcc-4.7-arm-linux-gnueabi (or whatever version) and u-boot-tools to build the kernel.
I just built one with device mapper and crypto target support, and threw in netfilter NAT stuff for giggles.
Here it is: http://allurgroceries.com/nsa310/uImage-3.5.7 And the .config: http://allurgroceries.com/nsa310/config-3.5.7_nsa310_allurgroceries
Download lastest Jessie rootfs from: Linux Kernel 3.18 (FDT) and 3.16 (non-FDT) Kirkwood package and rootfs
Or locally: linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1-bodhi.tar.bz2 debian-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
Unpack rootfs to media, can be USB pendrive for now.
cd /mnt/sdd1 tar -xjf Debian-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2
Inside rootfs, there is /boot directory which contains bootable kernel, initrd and deveice trees. Go to newly unpacked roots directory and create images recognizable by u-boot. If command mkimage is missing, please install u-boot-tools.
This method is supported by old (stock) U-BOOT. In this case FDT structure is appended at end of kernel.
cd /boot cp -a zImage-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 zImage.fdt cat dts/kirkwood-nsa310.dtb>> zImage.fdt mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 -d ./zImage.fdt ./uImage-3.18.5 mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 -d ./initrd.img-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 ./uInitrd-3.18.5
Test if kernel starts correctly from pendrive:
usb start
fatload usb 0 0x800000 /boot/uImage-3.18.5
fatload usb 0 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd-3.18.5
bootm 0x800000 0x1100000
Boot from HDD (separate small /boot partition, so no /boot prefix in filenames):
ide reset
ext2load ide 0:3 0x800000 /uImage-3.18.5
ext2load ide 0:3 0x1100000 /uInitrd-3.18.5
bootm 0x800000 0x1100000
NOT SUPPORTED BY OLD (default U-BOOT)
cd boot mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x00008000 -e 0x00008000 -n Linux-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 -d ./vmlinuz-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 ./uImage-3.18.5 mkimage -A arm -O linux -T ramdisk -C gzip -a 0x00000000 -e 0x00000000 -n initramfs-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 -d ./initrd.img-3.18.5-kirkwood-tld-1 ./uInitrd-3.18.5
Test if kernel starts correctly from pendrive:
usb start
fatload usb 0 0x800000 /boot/uImage
fatload usb 0 0x1100000 /boot/uInitrd
fatload usb 0 0x1c00000 /boot/dts/kirkwood-nsa310.dtb
bootm 0x800000 0x1100000 0x1c00000
Boot from HDD (separate small /boot partition, so no /boot prefix in filenames):
ide reset
ext2load ide 0:3 0x800000 /uImage-3.18.5
ext2load ide 0:3 0x1100000 /uInitrd-3.18.5
ext2load ide 0:3 0x1c00000 /dts/kirkwood-nsa310.dtb
bootm 0x800000 0x1100000 0x1c00000
There are multiple HW versions of NSA310 on market, but only 2 device tree are defined in kernel:
My NSA310 version is like nsa310 but with lm85 :), so I've created kirkwood-nsa310b.dts based on kirkwood-nsa310.dts with LM85 section from kirkwood-nsa310a.dts.
apt-get install emdebian-archive-keyring
Above rootfs contains Jessie system for NSA325. To use it with NSA310 some changes are needed.
Adapt to your country location in /etc/apt/sources.list, and add missing contrib and non-free packages
apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get install firmware-realtek fancontrol lm-sensors
RAM disk will be regenerated, so you need to recreate uInitrd-xxx again.
Adapt /etc/rc.local to own needs:
if [ -d /sys/class/leds/nsa310:green:sys ]; then echo default-on> /sys/class/leds/nsa310:green:sys/trigger echo none > /sys/class/leds/nsa310:red:sys/trigger fi if [ -d /sys/class/leds/nsa310:green:hdd ]; then echo ide-disk1> /sys/class/leds/nsa310:green:hdd/trigger fi if [ -d /sys/class/leds/nsa310:green:esata ]; then echo ide-disk2> /sys/class/leds/nsa310:green:esata/trigger fi if [ -d /sys/class/leds/nsa310:green:usb ]; then echo usb-host> /sys/class/leds/nsa310\:green\:usb/trigger fi
smartd from smartmontools writes it log and state to /var/lib/smartmontools/etc/default/smartmontoolsadd new line at end of /etc/adjtime
