Is it possible on that computer to boot USB instead of internal flash disk? This seems like the easiest solution to me, if it is doable. I had a similar problem on a Raspberry Pi 3B+, booting from microsd it would fail to complete startup with USB drive in fstab. I found out I could just remove the microsd and boot from USB. _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
