Hello,
I followed instructions from
viewtopic.php?f=47&t=6499#p36161
to try to boot from a root partition on an attached USB hard drive with no luck.
I made a boot.scr with the following :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'fatload mmc 0:1 0x40008000 zImage
setenv bootargs "root=/dev/hda1"
bootm 0x40008000
')
generated the boot.scr as follows :
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'mkimage -A arm -C none -T script -n 'Boot script for ODROID-U2' -d boot.txt boot.scr')
and placed the boot.scr in the vfat partition on the micro SD card.
On boot, the blue light flashes, but the ethernet lights remain off. I don't have a screen attached to this host and hence can't use it. Worse, if I delete boot.scr from the vfat partition, well there's still no network while the blue light flashes.
I had to reinstall from scratch and leave the root partition on the SD card.
I wish to boot from an attached hard drive because after my last upgrade, tools like ls, df give a segmentation fault. The partitions were clean as reported by fsck, the device booted. I suspect some weird hardware issue with the SD card.
I am asking for any clue on how to solve this.
Thanks in advance.
