Pixou Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 Dear all, My problem: I've tried to Copy my current micro sd card(8go) to another one (32go) Copy with a virtualbox (Ubuntu with the dd command to Copy the first card to the other one) , or with gparted (Copy and past) But with all these methods the problem stay the same = no boot Error message: Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems - Boot args (cat proc/cnd.no) - Check rootdelay (did the system wait long enough?) - Missing modules (cat proc/modules: Is /dev) ALERT UUID-16bb1d19-3ee3-119r-Be32-9920fr7d190a does not exist. Dropping to a shell! (initramfs) I'm not an expert with Linux so I don't know how can I resolve this problem. Can you help me ? Thx in advance Board: Cubox-i, Hummingboard / Gate & Edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to have matching partition UUIDs in both /boot/armbianEnv.txt and /etc/fstab. To figure out what should be the UUID, check output of "blkid" command.

Pixou Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Unfortunately the blkid command return nothing just after blkid I see the (initramfs) With ls I don't see the boot folder but in my virtualbox I see the boot folder and the uuid is the same than the error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixou Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Yes i'm sure I've checked the cloned SDcard(the original SDcard is on my cubox). The uuid is the same as the original SDcard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixou Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Today I've tested a clone with Clonezilla and same problem. Output of blkid ? The blkid command sent me the same uuid than the error message and the same as the original SDcard. I really don't understand What is the problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The blkid command sent me the same uuid than the error message and the same as the original SDcard. (blkid command with the virtualbox) I really don't understand What is the problem I've change the uuid (partition uuid, fstab and inside armbian env.txt) and now same error but with the New uuid...

zet_lab Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Faced a similar problem, did someone solve it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisath Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I have no idea why dd would not work, but as a workaround you could: use Win32Diskimager to create an *.img file from your old sd card. Than use Win32DiskImager or Etcher to burn that file to the new sd card. Worked good for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
