[Resolved] XU4 fails to power on

[Fourdee]

@rlamans

I noticed the problem way back at v122 (?) and stopped using Dietpi because of it. I have used my cloudshell with OMV, Ubuntu 16.04, and android with no power off problems. If the problem was with the power source you would think the issue would show up with other distros - but it seems to only be a problem with Dietpi. I am back to Dietpi because I love it, but it is not usable without a fix to the power down problem.

I have a cloushell with a 320G HD - the HD was used with the other distros also …

I tested the power off issue with a clean Dietpi - immediately after file system expansion and no other software installed and experienced the same problem. Hope this helps.

Hi,

So just to clarify, the issues you and other users are experiencing are:
1. When you run the command poweroff, the XU4 will not power back on again? Either using the power on button, or, physically reinserting the PSU?
2. When you physically remove the PSU without shutting down, the XU4 fails to power on again?

Can all users who have experienced these issue please list:

• The board revision number/dates on their XU3/4.
• Power supply used (eg 5v/6a)
• SD/EMMC card used and size.
• If you have time, please try installing the following image http://oph.mdrjr.net/meveric/images/Jessie/Debian-Jessie-1.0~RC2-20151123-XU3.img.xz, (username = root, pw = odroid) run apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade -y && reboot, then please try to replicate the power on issue you are experiencing (eg: Pull power plug and put back in again, or poweroff)

Also created a Git ticket so we can investigate this: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/558
