Migration from Rpi1 -> Rpi2

[Nachteule]

Hmmm, seems you have to do same with mountdevsubfs (untested)

Terminal

sudo ln -s ../init.d/mountdevsubfs.sh /etc/rcS.d/S04mountdevsubfs.sh

[Skywatch]

Now tested and it didn't work.

Earlier today I tried to go back from scratch with the last 'old' pi1 image, but that only gets as far as the 'X' startup screen and 'loading', then it hangs.... So I am stuck with this image now.


Full output below.....

Sudo apt-get -f install gives the same errors as does dpkg --config -a. So now I am stuck again
So, any other thoughts you have I would love to hear!

[Nachteule]

Hmm, I'm sorry

Seems hdparm package does not install successfully. But I can not reproduce this, I'm able to reinstall this package as often as I want

[Skywatch]

Noooooo.........

Now I want to die.

[Nachteule]

There's no reason for doing this

[Skywatch]

@Nachteule,

Well it does still work it seems.

So maybe I have some time to learn more and see what is possible.

As always thank you for your time and trying to help, I know that mean well and that you'd solve this if you could.

It's not the end of the world, just a major PITA.

I'll try to migrate one of my RPi1 installation to RPi3. But have to search for an older Jessie image (I suppose you're still running Jessie) first. Will take some time

[Skywatch]

@Nachteule,

Thats a kind offer, but plese don't waste time on it just for me. Better you work on the next xbian for all to enjoy

[Nachteule]

Sure, but I want to know how do fix it

And yes, other things having higher priorities (Kodi 17.4 is on the way)

[Nachteule]

So, did this procedure, was successful

That's what I did:

1) replaced my devel RPI2/3 root subvolume against older (from May) RPi1 root volume (Jessie os) and activated this volume.
modules and home subvol was unchanged, so there was no need to replace kernel
2) changed Raspbian -> Debian in /etc/apt/sources.list and rpi-jessie -> rpi2-jessie in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/xbian.list
3) modified my /etc/hostname and /etc/network/interfaces to avoid network conflicts
4) run apt-get update;apt-get upgrade
5) apt-get breaks after a while because of missing link
sudo ln -s ../init.d/mountkernfs.sh /etc/rcS.d/S04mountkernfs, added this link
6) run apt-get upgrade again
7) while upgrading network connection was broken, no idea why (was using ssh connection), but in the background apt-get continued working
8) was waiting some time (dinner and cleaning kitchen)
9) restarted RPi3 (hard reboot by power off/on)
10) system comes up, and ALL packages were installed. So, I can not reproduce your second issue, sorry
11) had one issue now: when Kodi stops, got no command prompt, only strange error message from splash, so
12) I reinstalled xbian-package-splash and linux-image-bcm2836 package (to make sure that initramfs is rebuild completely)
13) rebooted and everything is ok now.

Thanks for posting that, but I have a problem.

The only copy of the pi1 install doesn't work. It boots, resizes the card, creates the fs and then gets stuck at 'loading' screen. I cannot get past that point. Netowrk lights are 'on' but no SSH so I can't get in there and no other way I can think of to find out what is going on..... Can you give that some thought and let me know if there is anything I can try? .....

Which copy? And you put card into what?

What exactly did you do

[Skywatch]

I restored the only rpi1 image to a micro SD card using laptop and adaptor to full SD card size.
When the restore was complete I did.....
I edited /boot/cmdline.txt to boot from the sd card.
I ejected the uSD card and placed it in Rpi1 (with uSD to SD card adaptor).
I powered the Rpi1 and get the splash screen.
I get message about resizing card, setting up fs, but it gets to a point where the spash screen just says 'loading' with a bar graph slowly progressing across the screen.
When the bar graph reached the fullest extent it just sits there.
The network lights are working on the pi, but no http or ssh access.

Ok

I edited /boot/cmdline.txt to boot from the sd card.

Why did you do that and what changed you there?

So it seems root fs can not be mounted. Everything until now was running from initramfs. So, either root fs is broken or you made mistake editing cmdline.txt

You can check root fs by putting sd-card into usb adaptor and plug it to another RPi running XBian. Both partitions (boot and root) should be mounted automatically

[Skywatch]

I restored the image from auto back up.
The rpi1 used to run from usb, but image restored to uSD.
But only now have the SD card as the usb stick was needed for something else......
cmdline.txt was pointing to boot from usb stick (/dev/sda1).
So I changed it to boot from SD card by remaning cmdline.txt to cmdline.txt.old1
Then renaming cmdline.txt.old to cmdline.txt

I tried the card in another pi and it seems to mount OK = I get .....

/mount/usb0 - The host machine I believe.
/mount/usb1 - the SD card with the rpi1 image on.
/mount/xbian-boot-2442-D260 - The SD card with the rpi1 image on.
/mount/xbian-copy-lots of numbers/ - This also has the rpi1 image details on.

I hope that this makes sense, I am not fluent in Linux!
