Endless loop booting Image.
I download Image form source: https://dl.armbian.com/odroidxu4/Bookworm_current_minimal-omv
Flash Image with Rufus-4.11 --> no problem
insert sd-card in odroid hc1 --> blue LED is flashing
I ping to odroid with windows 'ping odroid -t -w 100' --> replied 10 seconds, then there was no response for 40 seconds, and it repeated, I wait 30 minutes.
I use Image from archive without OpenMedaivault --> Booting Ok
I install OMV 7.0 manually described following link: https://docs.openmediavault.org/en/7.x/installation/on_debian.html
in first view everything seem fine BUT:
after restart and save settings to SD-card --> odroid restarts after 20 seconds, if you do anything with huge load, it restarts, even 'apt update' or 'apt upgrade"
I did several tests, buy a new SD-card try 3 different cards, remove hard drive remove PCB and renew thermal interface material, nothing helps. I installed it 5 to 10 times and I did the installation in different ways. Also nothing helps.
I use my old working sd-card and I did some test, it works properly. (old means: installation is 2-3 years old)
I try 'armbianmonitor -m' --> output: 23:30:52 600/2000 MHz 0.66 19% 6% 11% 0% 0% 1% 37.0 °C 0/3
The frequency changes depending on the load, I used stress -c 8 --> frequencey 1400/2000MHz -> works perfect
I try Debian 12 (Bookworm) with OpenMediaVault from armbian download page. (Build Date: Jan 19, 2026)
I try 'armbianmonitor -m' --> output: 22:10:52 200/200 MHz 0.66 19% 6% 11% 0% 0% 1% 24.0 °C 0/3
The frequency was always at 200/200MHz.
I think I found the error in '/etc/default/cpufrequtils
Both values are "0".
MAX_SPEED="0"
MIN_SPEED="0"
I compare it with my old working sd-card. The values there:
MAX_SPEED="2000000"
MIN_SPEED="600000"
I Update the Image:
I 'unxz' the image that I had downloaded from armbian page, 'losetup' it, 'mount' the partition and change the value in 'cpufrequtils' to MAX_SPEED="2000000" MIN_SPEED="600000".
I 'xz' the image, flash it to my sd-card and now the images works on my Odroid XU4/HC1 perfect.
Is this a bug?
