SanchoSK Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I am successfully using Armbian Current on my Banana Pi. I have a 120GB usb SSD drive. I'd like to boot from it - my other Banana Pi with the same system boots from SATA connected HDD no problem. When I boot the device, I can see the drive using sudo fdisk -l as /dev/sda1 I can also get the UUID and everything. I've modified the /boot/armbianEnv.txt file and changed the UUID, but I can't get the machine to boot. I tried also to change the UUID to /dev/sda1. Didn't help either. When I boot with HDMI connected, I can see the kernel iterating through USB bus and the result is "no USB storage device found" and that's it. Even when I modify the armbianEnv.txt back and boot with HDMI, I can see the same message - however, when the system boots, I can see the drive and the corresponding device, too. Any idea what I do wrong? Thanks for any guidance. Just a small note - the USB drive has sufficient power as it has "dual" cable - one for power, one for data. It even works when plugged to the USB OTG connector thanks to the external power supply. Board: Not on the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SanchoSK Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 I tried not to use the tool as it gives a big warning about erasing whole drive. I wanted to keep the data, so I did manual rsync of the rootfs onto the drive and modified the steps accordingly. However, now I did erase the drive and used the script, but the result is exactly the same. Not sure how can I obtain the logs as the network is not connected and I cannot copy&paste from the device. Don't have serial adapter at hand right now :( At least I've made a screen snapshot, not sure if it helps, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When changing ROOTFS, you need to change BOTH places in /boot/armbianEnv.txt as well as /etc/fstab, otherwise you get this "ALERT! UUID=... doesn't exist" ...
