There’s no output from the kernel while it is booting but if you wait you get a login prompt.

It seems that SD and iPXE boot is only enabled with the latest BIOS versions. The on-board SD adaptor needs the sdhci kernel module; could be good to add that to our build. > > kp > >> Thanks, >> David >> >>> On 12 Aug 2016, at 23:17, kp kirchdoerfer >>> wrote: >>> >>> Hi David; >>> >>> Am Freitag, 12.

Maybe I need to invest in a small mSATA drive. I boot from mSATA, also USB worked, at least for the installation. I have also an older bios (1/20/2016), and neither checked SD cards nor iPXE. kp > Thanks, > David > > > On 12 Aug 2016, at 23:17, kp kirchdoerfer > > wrote: > > > > Hi David; > > > > Am Freitag, 12.

Re: [leaf-user] PC Engines APU2 - Having Trouble Booting BuC 5.2.x
Thanks for the feedback. @Andrew - removing ‘quiet’ didn’t provide any further diagnostics. I upgraded to the latest APU2 BIOS / firmware to see if that helped. Since that supports iPXE boot I was able to pull in the BuC x86_64 kernel and initrd, initmod. That worked fine so there’s no compatibility issue, but it still doesn’t want to boot from the SD. @kp - which device are you using to boot from - an mSATA drive, USB or the SD slot? Maybe I need to invest in a small mSATA drive. Thanks, David > On 12 Aug 2016, at 23:17, kp kirchdoerfer > wrote: > > Hi David; > > Am Freitag, 12.
