Upgrade ODROID C2 Failed, Cannot Boot

[nwcatalyst]

Well, this is frustrating.

I performed a basic "apt-get update" and then "apt-get upgrade" on my odroid c2 and now cannot boot. While updating I received a dialog about the kernel being updated with the same version, and needing to reboot soon to avoid any issues. So, I let the update finish and then rebooted. Now it will not boot.

I use my box primarily as a emby (play) and nextcloud (work) server. I am traveling for the next week and rely on the device for remote access to files and such. The latest emby version was released which allowed me to access my media again, their 3.1.1 version had an issue with reverse proxy, and so the 3.2 version was required to have any remote access to my media, otherwise I would have waited until I returned to do any updates.

On a related note, I was feeling ready to donate some money to this project, however it is issues like this that have me feel like reverting to the default ubuntu install for the C2 and minimizing it on my own... I appreciate the efforts here and want to see this improve. Thanks.

Hi,

The Kernel we use for the Odroid C2 image is maintained by Meveric, and is provided through his repo. DietPi has no control over kernel updates.

patching file boot.ini

It appears the kernel upgrade is failing to patch the boot.ini file, possibily its become corrupt.

If the system is still failing to boot, might be worth trying to replace /boot/boot.ini with our default:
https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/blob/ ... oot_c2.ini

Failing that, we'd need to elevate this to Meveric.

Hi Fourdee,

this issue is still present; [Odroid C2]@V154
Could you please take a closer look ? I really appreciate any help you can provide.

Hi Bob,

We are unable to replicate this our end, at our tests.

Code: Select all

root@DietPi:~# uname -a
Linux DietPi 3.14.79+ #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Jul 23 00:04:44 CEST 2017 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I believe this may be due to system instability. Which PSU/SD card used?
Ideally, ensure you are using an official PSU (Odroid barrel / RPi 5v/2A), and Sandisk (or official Odroid EMMC) for best results.

that’s weird

root@DietPi:~# uname -a

Yes that’s my kernel as well.

My system has not a system instability regarding the power supply or the sdcard.
It’s fast and powerful like the first day Reboots shutdown and service operations, high cpu load everything works correct, no system hang or freeze!

Since I got my odroid the official PSU is used and the eMMC from Hardkernel[Module C2 Linux]
The first time since the boot problem comes up I didn’t noticed that is could be the apt update/upgrade command. I asked for help in an older thread.
http://dietpi.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=815#p3594

To that time I used your latest image; restored my webservices and databases leave everything running @eMMC untill now the first update.
I will keep a wary eye on that, report your more.
