Grrrrrrrr.... it ate my message..... Yes, box boots using the backup uInitrd file.... All attempts to rebuild / refresh /etc. the file - generates a “bad CRC” version that is roughly 100k larger than working file... So, if my commands in the rebuild script (4 or so messages back) are correct, and my dyslexia didn’t cause any tweedled words.. And it worked at one time (at least) inby rmleonard - Debian

Attached is bootcap.log, a copy of what happens when unit boots, -- I noticed that the file rebuild dates are this evening.. every month or so the system runs an updater script that finishes by rebuilding the bootfiles --- the attached script file rebuild_uinit.sh is the copy that runs on another goflex-net.

My goflex net seems to have burped up a Hairball. I have the rescue system in place, and via netcat I can see what went wrong... it says the "ramdisk" is corrupt. So, since it boots off of the hard disk - that means the uinit file is bad?... the /boot directory needs replacing? I believe it has been running Jessie (maybe early version of buster) Is there a fix that can be done eiby rmleonard - Debian
