Hi,

 

I used Armbian_4.5_Cubietruck_Ubuntu_trusty_4.2.3 as sd card image. Later I moved it to a sata connected ssd and upgraded to 4.2.6 kernel.

 

As I needed a second drive I bought a : StarTech.com USB 3.0 to 2.5†SATA III Hard Drive Adapter Cable w/ UASP – SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD / HDD

 

This usb to sata works fine with the ssd. The second drive is a 5v 2.5†SATA  and the usb current is not enough so it is connected to the sata on cubietruck. On the second usb i have connected a usb to ethernet adapter.

 

Trying to boot results to kernel panic (& something about no init) and cubietruck reboots.

 

I am wondering if I need to change anything eg boot.cmd arguments to get the system running at this setup.

 

Thank you

Try to set desired root by it's UUID. It should work.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingUUID

 

edit /boot/boot.cmd and change parameter root= , save, recompile, reboot.

Hi, I tried UUID and PARTUUID but none of them works. Maybe this is a U-BOOT issue.

root@cubietruck:/home/lampra# grep -a --null-data U-Boot /dev/mmcblk0
U-Boot
U-Boot SPL 2015.07-armbian-sun7i (Oct 11 2015 - 15:34:22)

I will post a question at the sunxi irc

Have you try this way:

root=UUID=e139ce78-9841-40fe-8823-96a304a09859

I'll recreate similar scenario later just to make sure.

Update: It seems to me that it is a hardware/kernel issue.

I see that the chip of the StarTech.com USB 3.0 to 2.5†SATA is ASMedia ASM1051.

As described here http://linux-sunxi.org/USB/UAS, ASM1051 is blacklisted on the mainline kernel.

Booting legacy kernel works fine.
