Trying to install Wireguard plugin with OMV6 results in Odroid HC2 being stuck in bootloader

cidra · November 28, 2023

I already posted the question in the Odroid forum. I decided to post it here too since it may be more inherent to the Armbian OS.

I used both Armbian_23.02.3_Odroidxu4_bullseye_current_5.4.239.img from the odroidxu4 archive and Armbian-unofficial_23.11.0-trunk_Odroidxu4_bullseye_current_6.1.63 generated from the Armbian build script. (Base CLI Image).

After flashing the former image and then installing OMV6, this is the output that OMV6 gives me when installing the openmediavault-wireguard plugin:

And the ODROID doesn't go further. It stays stuck at "BOOTP broadcast 1".

Next, I tried to repeat the same steps with the image generated from the Armbian build script. Here is the output of OMV6 when installing openmediavault-wireguard:
