I find other kernel (openwrt-kirkwood-netgear_stora-initramfs-uImage). His size 4091kb
excellent,
then you should be able to install the larger image via SSH using sysupgrade.
How can I do it? Can you help?
Just I have access to the console until the first reboot.
DL the larger image from gdrive, unpack, and run the sysupgrade command from openwrts' prompt.
hm, network is not start?

¯_(ツ)_/¯
What's the image you used, for ? MS2000 specifically ?
Is the NIC detected ?
Try putting the big gdrive image on an USB flash drive.
I think it's seagate goflexhome
Well, that might be the reason for failing the hw initialization.
may be... Where find correct image?...
Did you follow the instructions on the wiki exactly?
- We boot using kwboot, the u-boot.kwb file is in the archive that I uploaded.
# kwboot -b ./u-boot.kwb /dev/ttyUSB0 -p
- Writing u-boot to NAND
tftp 0x0800000 u-boot.kwb
nand erase 0x0 100000
nand write 0x0800000 0x0 0x100000
- Downloading by tftp initramfs
tftpboot 0x800000 openwrt-kirkwood-netgear_stora-initramfs-uImage
bootm 0x800000 - -
-
Boot into openwrt
-
In openwrt, copy the main firmware file (openwrt-kirkwood-netgear_stora-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin) via scp to the /tmp folder and make a sysupgrade
sysupgrade -v /tmp/openwrt-kirkwood-netgear_stora-squashfs-sysupgrade.bin
Now, after rebooting, openwrt should always load correctly
Yes, all correctly. I boot in openwrt, but can't send bin file, network intrface don't up. But with your openwrt-kirkwood-netgear_stora-initramfs-uImage I have trouble - Image too large. I try with seagate image.
Well, it's not supported .... so..... nowhere ?
What you can do, is to transfer files via the serial port.
Using https://github.com/shane-kerr/AWK-base64decode
It's not ideal for larger files, but you could for instance
transfer the lrzsz then use that for transferring bigger
files.
There are quicker ways, depending on what your initramfs image is capable of,
or if you can install packages (by transferring them over serial port),
If I were in your shoes, I'd install regular linux (I think it's Debian) on the Stora instead.
It should be well documented over at Doozan, or using the link I posted earlier.
I see from the boot log, the network interface is being detected, the drivers are being loaded.
Show the output:
ifconfig
Also show the output of the:
cat /etc/config/network
Do you have a large file error at this stage?
tftpboot 0x800000 openwrt-kirkwood-netgear_stora-initramfs-uImage
Yes.

P.S Sorry, are you from Russia?
Thank you for help! I still want to install openwrt. For the system to boot from nand. However, Energoblock do it! 
So! I installed openwrt on Stora. In folder 21.02 full functionality firmware on last kernel 5.4.98. With LUCI, Samba4, Disk manager, Raid.
Install instruction
- Write kwb
- Write uImage
- Write sysupgrade in archive (not folder 21.02)
- If you need full firmware install sysupgrade of folder 21.02 in LUCI

Hi All,
I'm a novice so thank you for your hard work here.(@Nevskiy ) I've installed Nevskiy's images on my Stora MS-2110 over the weekend and it seems to be working. This is fantastic because the Netgear interface is now dead courtesy Flash EOL.
Just to understand better, I can not install packages from the software once I upgrade to the full image (21.02) but i can when I use the initial sysupgrade. I am unable to download the current package list with 21.02, because i get some sort of error related to incorrect certificate? I dont know where to start trouble shooting this,but I assume it's somewhere in the package download script?
I wish to download the Disk-Idle spin down package so my cheap HDD's turn off when the NAS is inactive.
If I try to install packages from the initial image, many of the packages are incompatible with the kernel and require an upgrade and I can not find the disk man anywhere?
