Hi nbj, I had the same issue with my headless Odroid C2. 100% reproducable by writing large files to the USB harddisk attached using dd if0/dev/zero of=/media/data/test bs=1M count = 2000 The Arch people proposed a solution which works fine for me. In boot.ini, after the line if test "${nographics}" = "1"; then fdt rm /reserved-memory; fdt rm /aocec; fi add if test "${nographics}" = "1"; then fdt rm /meson-fb; fdt rm /amhdmitx; fdt rm /picdec; fdt rm /ppmgr; fi if test "${nographics}" = "1"; then fdt rm /meson-vout; fdt rm /mesonstream; fdt rm /meson-fb; fi if test "${nographics}" = "1"; then fdt rm /deinterlace; fdt rm /codec_mm; fi and reboot. Now handling large amounts of data works w/o problem. Cheers, smn

Hi Igor, thanks for the answer, then I'll wait for the new images. /Simon

@andrwmorph indeed, reinstalling all packages resolves the problem for me. Thanks for sharing! @Igor: any news with the packages? Do you expect any problems if I now install 5.21 from the Debian Jessie image, upgrade with above method, and later on update to 5.24 once you have it released?

Okay, great, thank you so much!

Hi Igor, as stated above, beta image works fine (the 5.24 Xenial Image). I'd love to run a headless Debian Jessie, but there is no image yet. Do you have an estimate on when you will be able to release it? Best, Simon

Hm, this does not work for me. What I did: Fresh install of Jessie Server, 5.21 image boot apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade apt-get install linux-firmware-image-odroidc2 reboot -> everything allright reboot -> blue light, stuck at boot

I have downloaded the beat image for Odroid C2, burned it onto the eMMC module using Etcher and booted the device. Everything seems to work fine, apt-get update / upgrade do not show any updates besides some unimportant libraries. Rebooting twice, three times, ... works all fine. Can you draw any conclusion from this? Will there be an updated headless Debian Jessie image any time soon?

I will try so tonight and will report.

I am experiencing exactly the same issue with my C2, booting form eMMC, upgrading and rebooting twice. I have completely disabled the video system in boot.ini since you indicated above it might be connected to the video system. The problem still persists.

I am experiencing the same or at least very similar problem. Setup: Odroid C2 with 8GB eMMC module from Hardkernel Armbian image downloaded via website (5.21 it claims) since I am not able to compile it myself on Yakkety. Procedure: Flash img on eMMC via SD card adapter Boot Ordroid C2, login as root, create user, login with new credentials Run: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade Output as follows: ___ _ _ _ ____ ____ / _ \ __| |_ __ ___ (_) __| | / ___|___ \ | | | |/ _` | '__/ _ \| |/ _` | | | __) | | |_| | (_| | | | (_) | | (_| | | |___ / __/ \___/ \__,_|_| \___/|_|\__,_| \____|_____| Welcome to ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.14.79-odroidc2 System load: 0.02 Up time: 2 min Memory usage: 3 % of 1976Mb IP: 192.168.2.22 CPU temp: 42°C Usage of /: 15% of 7.0G Last login: Sun Nov 13 22:46:49 2016 from ssp-poseidon.fritz.box smn@odroidc2:~$ less /boot/boot.ini smn@odroidc2:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade [sudo] password for smn: Reading package lists...
