Update Boot-from-External-Storage.md #67

Closed nicolapalavecino closed 4 years ago

nicolapalavecino commented 6 years ago

I had some problems booting my Omega 2+ with an external storage (micro SD card).

I followed the instructions in https://docs.onion.io/omega2-docs/boot-from-external-storage.html#boot-from-external-storage

and found out it didn't work. I searched in the community and found here the answer: https://community.onion.io/topic/2669/running-onion-omega-2-from-the-usb-external-storage-device/5

That worked for me! I hope you consider the changes in the documentation

@nicolapalavecino Thanks for your feedback. I have just made changes to the installation process (remove the installation of the additional kernel modules, since they are already preinstalled). Could you please specify the part where you met issues while performing booting from the external storage?

pavelmetrokhin commented 6 years ago

@nicolapalavecino It is now possible to install additional kernel modules on your Omega but the following conditions must be met:

Your Omega must be on the very latest available firmware. The kernel modules must be from the Onion Package Repo (no kernel modules from the LEDE/OpenWRT package repos can be installed)
