Install on SSD dont work

[Timm0 G-Punkt]

hi,

 

i try to install the current IOT/minmal image on the intern ssd on a old thinclient.

USB-Drive will ident as sda and the ssd as sdb.

if i use on armbian-config the install script for install, he create two partitions (sdb1 &2 / efi & linux) but it only boot with usb drive. 

On the usb drive i has a BIOS boot partition, must i swaphis somehow to the ssd drive?

If the armbian-install way does not work, you can also write the image directly to the ssd, either with a different computer or, since you were already successfully booting from usb, download the image again and dd it to the ssd. No need to do partitioning beforehand, just write to the raw device since the image already contains the partition table iirc.

thanks, it works - with a lot of time on google 😉  
 
can you say why the armbian-install script dont work? A bug or a bad constellation of hardware e.g.?

Hard to tell without any logs whatsoever

In general it works on x86 since a few month ago I used it to move the OS from an old NUC-like pc from sd to built-in emmc which was flawless (besides I had to get rid of Ventoy since it messes up Armbian boot).
