Dima Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Hi, Since recent I have an issue that my Orangepi doesn't start anymore. My microSD is fine (did a full diskcheck using badblocks on ubuntu), en I can access all the files without issues. However, it doesn't want to boot. Every time I try to boot it (Orangepi pc), it gives the first black screen until starting kernel, and then gets stuck on the blinking underscore. For information: I have an Orangepi PC and Armbian 5.32 with mainline kernel. Now, this happened after I did an apt-get upgrade (incl. kernel upgrade) from 5.30 to 5.32, and then didn't reboot, but my orangepi had a short power interruption. After this it didn't want to start anymore. Is there any easy solution not to run a full install again? I was thinking to try to update everything except OS files (this means kernel, uboot and I'm probably also missing something else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xalius Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Can you provide a log from your boot sequence? Do you have a serial console adapter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dima Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 Hi, No, I don't have a serial console. During boot there is a CRC warning message though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dima Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 I found that one too. Problem is that without booting or serial console i cannot run the command. Is there a workaround? I can mount it the microsd on Ubuntu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dima Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 I just did a clean install, it would be faster than trying to fix an old install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
