@SteeMan understood thanks! Any idea about: rw rootwait rootdelay=30 boot_delay=1000

Thanks for your response. Should not hdparm be installed by default? I've read that on the Odroid armbianEnv.txt is completely ignored? Is that correct? I was planning on changing boot.ini to: # final boot args setenv bootargs "${bootrootfs} ${videoconfig} rw rootwait rootdelay=30 boot_delay=1000 smsc95xx.macaddr=${macaddr} governor=${governor} ${hdmi_phy_control} usb-storage.quirks=${usbstoragequirks} ${extraargs}" I added: rw rootwait rootdelay=30 boot_delay=1000 But I'm not sure if that is correct or anything. Does anyone know if that will work?

@porg I'm in a similar situation as you. I have a HC2. I can tell you I have installed Armbian_25.2.1_Odroidxu4_bookworm_current_6.6.75_minimal.img and have OMV working on it. I also don't exactly understand @Igor's explanation regarding overlay management but not sure it matters? If I recall you don't really need to change anything in /boot/armbianEnv.txt as the armbian-config does that for you (I think). I'm confused on modifying /boot/boot.ini as it says in the file not to modify it.

I can confirm Armbian_25.2.1_Odroidxu4_bookworm_current_6.6.75_minimal.img does work on my Odroid HC2. Though I have questions that are on another thread :)

I recently installed:Armbian_25.2.1_Odroidxu4_bookworm_current_6.6.75_minimal.img on my Odroid HC2. Ran the configuration. I'm currently trying to resolve an issue with warm booting and losing the hard drive. I've read this: https://forum.odroid.com/viewtopic.php?f=97&t=44865 on the Odriod forum. And this: https://forum.armbian.com/topic/15611-odroid-hc1-and-kernel-54-soft-reset-makes-the-sata-drive-disappear/ here JMCC said: Just curious if this still applies today with that build of Armbian? Also if the solution of changing the boot.ini is still valid today to fix the soft reset error? Finally as an aside it doesn't look like "hdparm" was installed? Is that possible? If so why? Thanks for all the help.
