The problem affects only sunxi so reverting anything else is useless.

At least upstream those problems should be fixed by now.

It is mostly our problem that upstream changes break booting with our old boot script and that we have automated u-boot upgrade procedure instead of manual.

The problem was there too but different kind of. I switch dev and next which lead to troubles with OMV installations.

At least setting this to "yes"?

Replacing bootloader on your eMMC

 

Boot from SD card.

mkdir tmp
cd tmp
# replace this URL with the one for your board! This is for Orange pi plus 2e
wget http://apt.armbian.com/pool/main/l/linux-u-boot-orangepiplus2e-default/linux-u-boot-orangepiplus2e_5.39_armhf.deb
dpkg -x *.deb . 
root_uuid=$(sed -e 's/^.*root=//' -e 's/ .*$//' < /proc/cmdline)
root_partition_device=$(blkid | tr -d '":' | grep ${root_uuid} | awk '{print $1}' | tr -d '"/dev')
emmc="/dev/"$(cat /proc/partitions | grep -v ${root_partition::-2} | grep mmcblk | awk '{print $4}' | head -1)
                                                                
# adjust the path accordingly to your board - downloaded file                                                                
dd if=usr/lib/linux-u-boot-orangepiplus2e_5.35_armhf/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=$emmc bs=1024 seek=8 status=noxfer

If you want to flash your SD card on external SD card reader:

sdcard=/dev/sda # make sure this is SD card and not your hard drive!!
dd if=usr/lib/linux-u-boot-orangepiplus2e_5.35_armhf/u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=$sdcard bs=1024 seek=8 status=noxfer

After reboot I can not reach the machine any more via browser or ssh. The machine does not connect to my router any more.
LEDs look normal.
Power cycling did not help.

This happened to me once before when updating OMV itself. At that time I did a time consuming reinstallation via a new image loaded from Sourgeforge.
Note that kernel updates went smooth on this setup before and the cryptsetup error is to be expected since I have a LUKS-encrypted data storage (decrypted after boot via the web interface).

 

I speculate that the problem lies in getting a dtb (5.38) which does not fit the kernel 4.9.61 (5.earlier).

Is there anything I could do to avoid a new installation?

"it should be o.k."

 

yeah but it is/was NOT! pulling my leg?

 

I think I got caught between repository updates...

 

Manually (dissecting the deb-file) I installed linux-dtb-next-odroidxu4_5.39_armhf

 

Now it works again:

Somewhere between problem was recognized and fixed, yes. :wacko: When most people will just use this product, drop few pennies and not actively participating in testings, this will not change - we simply have too many different boards and variants. We can cut them down in half but the problem will remain. I recently developed a system for quick repository update, that packages can be quickly fixed in case of such problems, but that is all that I can do on the technical part of the problem.  At least you were able to solve this without step by step guides. 

 

Of course, it is our my fault for providing this service with having sufficient resources.

Forget about changing u-boot, replace rather boot script. It is more simple and actually the fix for the problem.

 

1. Boot with SDcard

2. Mount /dev/mmcblk2p1 /mnt # on some cases it will be mmcblk1p1

3. cd /mnt/boot

4. wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/armbian/build/master/config/bootscripts/boot-sunxi.cmd

5. mv boot-sunxi.cmd boot.cmd

6. mkimage -C none -A arm -T script -d boot.cmd boot.scr

7. power off,

8. remove SD and boot from eMMC

Posted

Igor - don't take it personally.

 

It is fixed now. Thank you!

 

I really do not want to test on my only/production hc1 and just happened to not test on my xu4 which I normally do - once a month.

This time I did an upgrade because Baikal does not come up.

That is the next problem I will have to fix ...

 

At least I will drop a "few pennies" like:

2017-09-01    OMV                  PayPal        50 EUR

Thanks, for me solution with manual download and "dd" to emmc works as well. Opi+2 is up & running now. For Opi+2e - tomorrow I will try (have a little more issues with physical access to device).

Replacing boot script with this one https://github.com/armbian/build/blob/master/config/bootscripts/boot-sunxi.cmd and its recompilation is another/proper solution. In case we forget to add a boot script to next update, the problem might resurface.

Preparing such copy/paste instruction is a nightmare :( You need to be in /mnt/boot/ and there you run mkimage without a path.

I have not updated yet.

I can't understand if this can affect my OPI zero or not. Can you please point this out?

Dear,
Thanks for all your guidance/help.
U help me get my pi working back normally,
Thanks

For now and to be realistic, we can further minimize possibility:

 

- split u-boot package and kernel for updating.

- create a bulletproof recovery method: perhaps even auto-revert if booting after update not successful

- release one kernel(images) at once
