[SOLVED] Kickstart loads and nothing further?
Posted: Mon Aug 21, 2017 7:35 pm
I've currently run into what is for me a very weird boot issue that I would love to resolve...
I can boot my sam440-flex, it will show uboot as per normal without issues.
I can use *any* hdd with the dvd-rom drive hooked up..
If I use my existing system hdd, kickstart will load normally.
The issue is when Kickstart has finished the module loading procedure and there is a message about launching...
I have left my machine to boot (from both AOS4.1FE CD and Existing HDD...) for a whole day twice now...
I have NOT seen the boot image or anything beyond the Kickstart loading progress bar text which has completed loading.
What possible issues would affect this point of the loading process????
I also recently purchased a new pair of HDDs considering HDD errors as a possible point of failure...
but in attempting to boot with one of the new drives the AOS4.1FE CD showed the same issue as t HDD installed system.
Just what the hell is happening here?
Not quite sure how this was solved as I completely stripped the machine down and re-installed device by device until everything was present again...
loose connection or something else?,
Not exactly sure but the machine is fully functional again,
And I am cloning my entire 500GB drive pair over to a fresh pair of 1TB disks just so I have 3 compelete system copies now.
