Lacie NWS2 Classic from seagate blackarmor nas220

For Developers
1

I compiled the seagate_blackarmor-nas220-initramfs-uImage firmware with modifications for the Lacie Network Space 2 (classic), running smoothly, with three situations to resolve:
1- Kernel does not enable sata in time, leaving root without a destination;
2- Entering tftpboot 0x800000 seagate_blackarmor-nas220-initramfs-uImage, I make all the necessary changes (I added kmod-ata-marvel-sata) but everything is lost when restarting, since sysupgrade targets MTD (main to be resolved);
3- Front USB port off.

Can you help me?

Are you using source from the official Openwrt project, or from an sdk/other source from another project?

official Openwrt project.
My goal is to resolve, in my case, by adapting the Seagate NAS220 firmware to use the Lacie NS2, where I face the same difficulties exposed in this post:

I'm kind of doing dis·as·sem·ble tupiniquim (not at the code level just file) in the sysupgrade file to extract the kernel, to write to a pure raw partition on the sata disk, where u-boot searches for the image and rip off the box, since sysupgrade targets an MTD, I'll resolve this later.
I'm not an expert, I'm not by far, so I'm looking for help and in return I'll explain the resolution routine, which even without help so far, with reading the existing posts, I'm achieving some success.

Thanks

As for rootfstype is ext4, same problem.
Something you look for in the partition and can't find it?
Being ext4 it doesn't read?
Is a specific image in root missing?
Will I have to format the partition, where is the root in another type ext2/ext3/etc? Except ext4?
What's wrong, since the disk is already being found and mounted in the kernel.

sorted out!!!! kkkkkk in the arm and without help, just reading the post I mentioned above and a lot of research on the internet.
the problem was execution permissions of essential files. Lacie NS2 running 100% with Seagate NAS220 firmware with additions
After firmware ready:
1st written directly to the dd partition if=seagate_blackarmor-nas220-uImage of=/dev/sda6 (raw);
2nd binwalk -Me openwrt-22.03.5-kirkwood-seagate_blackarmor-nas220-ext4-sysupgrade.bin
3rd dd if=root of=/sda7
4th fsck.ext4 /dev/sde7 (image sizes different from the partition, correct any defects).
