however I have been successful if restoring functionality to my netbook.
Great!
The working version is:
U-Boot 1.1.4 (Oct 8 2010 - 10:39:28)
Not that old if you look at the date, quite old if you look at the version number. But hey, IIAB(any more)DFI. :)
WonderMedia Technologies, Inc. WMT U-Boot Version : 0.12.01.00.27
So I'm pretty happy right now because U-Boot can finally access the internal storage.
The only downside to using the internal usb storage is the usb subsystem in u-boot appears to be quite slow. The command usbinit must be called first which appears to load the driver, and then scan the bus for devices. Once it is done the system can then boot from the usb storage. It easily adds atleast 5 seconds to the bootup, especially if the logo is loaded from usb.
There is no loading a driver in U-Boot (the binary is self-contained), so the slowness is probably due to the USB driver or line speed (or both). Anyway, that'll be a problem only while you boot things via USB; once you have R/W access to the internal storage Flash, booting from Flash should be (hopefully) quicker.
The next step is to load an operating system onto the internal storage.
Thanks for your help.
You did all the hard work, just thank yourself. :)
Amicalement,
