I got Armbian 21.08.1 Buster ttyS0 any Login incorrect

[RaymondDay]

I have a old Armbian 21.08.1 Buster on a NanoPi NEO and I like to get it fixed.

 

I can only see what is going on though the Serial port on it.

 

It boots up with a lot of things missing. May guess is the swap on the SD card went bad years ago. I like to get this working again it was working real good back then till it did not boot any more.

 

At the end of the boot on the Serial port it looks like this:

Armbian 21.08.1 Buster ttyS0

nano-doc2 login: root

Login incorrect

Armbian 21.08.1 Buster ttyS0

The is a lo of red color [FAILED] on it.

 

I guess because Failed to start OpenBSD Secure Shell server that is why I can't log in even on the serial port.

 

I have mounted it as chroom on another system and I guess just don't have it mounted right to run a:

 

apt --fix-broken install -y

 

Guess that would fix it if I could run it some how.

 

I did add it to a start up script but it did not work I guess that did not start up.

 

Hope some one can help. It be grate to have this working again.

When I put this SD card in another system and mount it I can see it's files.

 

In it's bash history the last typed before it did not boot was this if this helps to know what is wrong to fix it.

 

pt upgrade
apt --fix-broken install
dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.29-1_all.deb
apt install perl
apt --fix-broken install
cd /usr/bin/perl
apt install perl
apt --fix-broken install perl
dpkg -i --force-overwrite mysql-apt-config_0.8.29-1_all.deb
uname -a
install mysql-server-5.5
atp install mysql-server-5.5
lsb_release -a
reboot

 

Hope some one can help.

This is on my rday1 server I put the SD card on it.

 

Hope this helps.
