I would have posted this to the #devuan-arm IRC channel, but it requires some sort of registration and I am far too tired to deal with yet another registration hassle. I could rant for a while this morning on registrations...
To wit, I have an Olimex A20-OLinuxino-micro that for whatever reason the SATA interface has developed problems. I've tried with another drive and another cable and the problem persists, so it's on to other ideas. I have a USB to SATA adapter and when I connect the SSD to the Micro after booting from the micro flash card I can mount it, etc. I have Jessie installed on the flash card and on the SSD. Previously the system was booting from the flash card and the rootfs was on the SSD connected via SATA. Now the kernel included with the Jessie installation apparently lacks sufficient support for early USB mass storage as once the hard drive is identified the boot process just stops (note that I copy the boot.scr file over to boot fully from the flash card or attempt booting from the USB attached SSD, a process that involves doing so when mounted on my laptop, etc.). As an alternative, I installed the Debian 4.9 kernel from aptitude but am now personally halted on configuring uboot correctly as I'm not at all certain how to specify the initrd in the boot.cmd file what with its need to have memory information detailed. This is where I hope others can help. My goal is to boot from the VFAT flash partition as usual and set the rootfs to /dev/sda2 (yes, that's how it is identified when plugged in as /dev/sda1 is a swap partition) that is now connected via USB rather than SATA. This is the same setup as before only the SSD would be connected via the USB port rather than the failing SATA port. All help is appreciated! - Nate -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears this is true." Web: http://www.n0nb.us GPG key: D55A8819 GitHub: N0NB
