I wrote the DietPi_OdroidC4-ARMv8-Bullseye.img to a 120g SSD installed into a usb-3(to sata) case as it was $25 total cost and HD speed in desktop use. I have petitboot 20220315 installed on SD and boot from that with the dietpi attached and it will see it. Ive tried changing parms and am able to …

Our latest Odroid C4 image supports petitboot from SPI and that way USB boot :slightly_smiling_face:.

Welcome to our community forum. So boot goes into systemd stage already, right? First I thought it could be a missing controller driver in initramfs, but it would fail to mount at bootloader stage already, also initramfs-tools packs in all available drivers but default. You flashed the fresh image…

Yes, the uuid on the petitboot sd and dietpi are different. If I swap Dietpi with another identical usb drive with debian 11 then it will load that. Is it still in the initrd stage? I dont know when systemd starts. I think I recall looking for the scripts/local-block and it appeared to have mmc ha…

I tried to sync with what bullseye does at boot and made some observations: If I change the boot parms to whats used by deb11 I get a lot of stuff detected (usb, etc) but then fail because no root dev specified. If I set the root=/dev/sda1 I get the timeout in the previous pic. Deb11 uses a diffe…

Ah you’re right, it’s in initramfs stage. With Armbian kernel, the dtbs have an uncommon path indeed. Actually the kernel package ships with those in /usr/lib as well, but we remove them since they double with the ones shipped by the dedicated dtb package in /boot/dtb. Probably we should switch thi…

I just tried it with root=UUID and PARTUUID and both fail the same. Once I change the path for the device tree then It seems to load kernel/initrd/dtb (at least it appears to find them) and initrd starts but then loses something and cant read the fs.

I DL and wrote the 2023/02/04 version to my usb3-ssd and it boots under Petitboot! Very nice work! Bullseye repo timed out on a key issue but retry worked. I installed xfce and the desktop comes up. No Sound though and dmesg shows bus/page faults from panfrost. So at least its running from usb3…

Sorry to say its failing again. I did apt upgrades a few weeks ago running 9.1 and then its failing to find the uuid at boot even though I just watched it start to boot. So I overwrote with the latest DietPi_OdroidC4-ARMv8-Bookworm (8.2?) and then it boots nicely, says that 9.2.1 is available and g…

I wrote the image again. Pulled the network so automatic updating would NOT occur. Booted, waited for net timeout and then it let me login so I enabled the network and did apt updates. Shutdown, pulled the network and booted. System comes up to a blank screen. Nothing, cant even get into a virtua…
