RE: Migration from Rpi1 -> Rpi2 - Nachteule - 3rd Sep, 2017 06:48 AM
Ah ok.
Maybe wrong root fs (/dev/sda1) is still in initfamfs.gz (not sure if this is stored in initramfs or not, never checked this). You could try to disable initramfs by commenting out it in /boot/config.txt by something like this
Code:
#initramfs initramfs.gz 0x1500000or simply remove or rename /boot/initramfs.gz and try again booting
and you can enable debug and disable splash by
change splash to nosplash and adding debug to cmdline in /boot/cmdline.txt

Some good suggestions there - will try out tomorrow....
RE: Migration from Rpi1 -> Rpi2 - Skywatch - 3rd Sep, 2017 05:45 PM
One thing I did think of was that kodi overrides the initramfs setting in boot/config internally (remember setting it to 'always' in kodi menus).
Do you know where I can change this as I expect it to interfere when trying to boot without initramfs.
update... I tried it anyway and now it does not boot. Just get a flashing underscore in the top left corner.
I have removed the SD card and am wiping it completely and then re-install the rpi1 image and try again. May take some time though....
Here is cmdline.txt...
Terminal
telnet zswap.enabled=1 zswap.compressor=lz4 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootflags=subvol=root/@,autodefrag,compress=lz4 rootfstype=btrfs rootwait logo.nologo quiet noswap loglevel=0 partswap startevent=mountall selinux=0 splash nohdparm net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 --startup-event mountall
Seems that removing initramfs from /boot stops it even getting to splash screen. Going back to initram I get a message to press shift before the splash appears. Even doing this it hangs at 'loading' screen. Maybe it's better to start from scratch now?
and config.txt...

Hopefully you do no have Alzheimer
, we already discussed this hereQuote:update... I tried it anyway and now it does not boot. Just get a flashing underscore in the top left corner.
That's what I was already talking about, all you was seeing came from initramfs. So, I suppose your root fs (/dev/mmcblk0p2) is broken
Quote:I have removed the SD card and am wiping it completely and then re-install the rpi1 image and try again. May take some time though....
Make sure that your saved image is correct. Btw, you can check log of image generation. See file /tmp/xbiancopy.log (here one of mine RPi1 from building image yesterday)

See above, no initramfs, nothing on screen

You can force entering into rescue mode by adding rescue as additional parameter to cmdline in /boot/cmdline.txt. You need do attach an USB keyboard to your RPi
Please note: For rescue mode initramfs has to be enabled
RE: Migration from Rpi1 -> Rpi2 - Skywatch - 3rd Sep, 2017 10:25 PM
I hope no Alzheimer too, a hangover though I do have
Added rescue but no change. Tried holding down both left shift and right shift (even space bar), but still goes as far as loading and halts once the bargraph has completed slowly.
FWIW heres the new cmdline.txt.....
Terminal
telnet zswap.enabled=1 zswap.compressor=lz4 console=tty1 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootflags=subvol=root/@,autodefrag,compress=lz4 rootfstype=btrfs rootwait logo.nologo quiet noswap loglevel=0 partswap startevent=mountall selinux=0 splash nohdparm net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0 --startup-event mountall
rescue

rescue
That's weird
Rescue mode is started always, I do not have to hit any key, and even after removing root fs (my dev sys is on USB disk) rescue mode is there
Btw, do you have wired of wireless keyboard? I was reading long time ago that the shift key only works with wired keyboards
RE: Migration from Rpi1 -> Rpi2 - Skywatch - 3rd Sep, 2017 11:01 PM
Weird it sure is - today trying to do this in parallel with a mysensors gateway/node problem and cleaning the house..... So far none of them are winning..... Maybe rescue mode not starting is a clue?
I have wired usb keyboard attached. And USB mouse too. Network and hdmi cable. That's all (apart from power).....
I could try rescue_early (been reading the wiki!).... but probably get the same result. Initramfs is enabled in config.txt again too, so not that.
Aha!
I now have recovery console.
Seems that rescue only works if splash is set to nosplash..... Who knew?
So, before I dig an even bigger hole, can you kindly let me know what to do now.... ???

Wow, that's great
Quote:Seems that rescue only works if splash is set to nosplash..... Who knew?
No, at least not here. But disabling splash is better for investigating issues ...

1) Checking, if your root fs is ok - it should be mounted to /rootfs automatically
2) type exit to continue normal boot process and look if there are error messages
RE: Migration from Rpi1 -> Rpi2 - Skywatch - 3rd Sep, 2017 11:41 PM
Now we see the problem....
Switch_root: Failed to execute /sbin/init: No such file or directory
Not sure if it is good or bad news though.....

I suppose your image build is broken

Does not sound good. In the end it would have been quicker to start afresh, well I did try and save some time.
Thanks for helping me out with this, it is always appreciated.

Another chapter for "afterwards you are always wiser"
It would be good idea to check backed up images from time to time (look into file /tmp/xbiancopy.log):
Since image backup of my dev RPi3 failed once (BTRFS complained filesystem error, so root fs was empty in image), I was generating this log file and I'm checking this file sporadically

Just FYI:
Holding down left shift (yes, only left shift does it) to enter into rescue works again.
This issue was one of the most annoying mystery in the past

@Nachteule,
Sorry for the delay, been in hospital....but home now (with a new hip!)....
I got it all working except the lcd display which would not work no matter what I tried. But last night I took another look and it is all working as before with pi2. Now much faster response to menu and streaming. I am happy with this.

Hmm, may I ask what happened?Quote:I got it all working except the lcd display which would not work no matter what I tried. But last night I took another look and it is all working as before with pi2. Now much faster response to menu and streaming. I am happy with this.
Good news, enjoy your Pi
