Re: Help revive ix4-200d - 3 years ago
kwboot for Windows: Ok, after perusing the Cygwin documents and spending way too much time researching it, I couldn't find a clear answer as to whether or not it's permissible to distribute their DLL with my EXE. I believe I'm not doing improper, but if I hear otherwise I'll take it down. https://www.dropbox.com/s/76uw8kxjoh9o6ag/kwboot-windows.zip?dl=0 bodhi, if youby renojim - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 3 years ago
Yeah, I think I need to take a step back or try a hard disk in place of the 16GB SSD. As another data point, I backed up uImage and recreated it with the previous dtb (before bodhi took out the GPIO keys) just to see what happens and sure enough if it boots just trying to run fw_printenv will cause a kernel panic. I then restored uImage from the backup (the one created with the dtb with the GPIby renojim - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 3 years ago
bodhi, Yes, I believe it boots consistently. To be honest, I was only doing the apt-get update as some kind of stress test since I've been fooled before thinking, "it booted, so everything must be ok". I've done the apt-get update and apt-get upgrade successfully multiple times on the 16GB SSD. When I've had successful boots in the past (without anything inserted inby renojim - Debian

I added a printenv right before the bootm command to leave no doubt as to what the environment variables hold:bootcmd_usb=echo Booting USB.; usb reset; run load_uimage_usb; run load_initrd_usb; printenv; bootm $(load_uimage_addr) $(load_initrd_addr) bootcmd_ide=echo Booting IDE .; ide reset; run load_uimage_ide; run load_initrd_ide; printenv; bootm $(load_uimage_addr) $(load_initrd_addr) -JTby renojim - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 3 years ago
Let me see if I can summarize my findings: haveged doesn't make a difference Booting from USB drive usually works (could be my cheap USB drive) Booting from SSD without USB drive inserted gives unpredictable results (hangs, unstable system, kernel panics, etc.) Inserting pretty much any USB drive allows SSD booting to succeed (USB drive can be removed after booting) [*} It's not gooby renojim - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 3 years ago
I'm giving up on SSD booting for now. What I've noticed is that if I have a USB drive inserted (doesn't have to be a boot drive or even extX formatted drive), it will boot off of SSD and be stable. If there's no drive inserted it may or may not boot and if it does it's very unstable. I've verified that the load addresses are identical in all cases. Once it'by renojim - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 3 years ago
I use Windows and Putty, so that's probably not the problem. Just make sure you're copying and pasting the whole line and do it one line at a time. My thought with being able to boot from either USB or SSD was that I'd use the SSD to boot 99.9% of the time. I'd only want to boot from USB to either do a full backup of the SSD or if there was some problem with the SSD. Rigby renojim - Debian

Re: Debian on Dell Kace M300 - 3 years ago
I'm trying to boot from the SSD, but I'm having all kinds of problems. Sometimes it boots, sometimes it leaves me in initramfs, sometimes it kernel panics, etc. Even when it does boot, it's very unstable.
