In 2011 a revised version of the ix2-200 was released, known as the ix2-200 Network Storage Cloud Edition. The Iomega ix2-200 Network Storage (hereafter, “ix2-200”) is a two disk NAS that was introduced in October 2009 by Iomega, a subsidiary of EMC that later became a joint venture known as LenovoEMC. In this post I explain how to modify an aging network attached storage device with a Linux distribution that will keep its software and functionality up-to-date for the foreseeable future. This might not be strictly needed, but it is a best practice for maximum compatibility.

Existing systems can run these commands to update the boot loader (make sure package uboot-tools is installed)`: fw_setenv memoffset_kernel '0x02000000'Īn already updated and broken system can be fixed through a serial connection by running in U-Boot: setenv memoffset_kernel '0x02000000'ĭo not forget to update /usr/local/sbin/generate-ubootfiles to the newer version in this guide, so the U-Boot headers of future kernel and initramfs images have the correct information. These changes have been incorporated in this guide. The remediation requires changes to the load addresses and entry points of the kernel and initramfs images. Systems might not be bootable when updated due to this issue. Jens Rommel contacted me and notified me of an issue with recent larger Linux boot files, also referred to in this post on the Arch Linux ARM forum. Look here for the 2021 version, which contains some necessary fixes since this was published.
