Thanks... I tried that, but the booting process stopped again after the "Loading Device Tree... OK" -message. I tried three different kernels: 4.4.8, 4.9.0 and 4.12.0, but this time even the latest one did not help. I tested also an Ubuntu 16.04 installation (using the alternative installation script on Live USB), but again the same problem...Spectre660 wrote:@ Roland
Set up your U-Boot variables (Change the /dev/sda8 in the example to point to your Debian partition)You only need to do the setup above once.Code: Select all
setenv usb1 "usb reset;fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage-cyrus;fatload usb 0:1 1c00000 cyrus_5020.dtb;bootm 1000000 - 1c00000" setenv debian1 "setenv 'bootargs root=/dev/sda8 rootdelay=1 mem=3500M' ;run usb1" saveenv
From now on to start Debian from the U-Boot shellCode: Select all
run debian1
I have the installations on a USB drive: kernels etc. on a FAT32 partition, and Debian/Ubuntu on their own Ext partitions. Is there any other possible source for this problem than the kernels? I have the paths of USB partitions in format 'root=/dev/sdb2' (or sdb3). Is that correct? At least when I made the installation that drive was recognized as 'sdb' (sda is defined for a Sata drive I have in my X5000 for AmigaOS), and I do not have other USB drives connected.
