Script is not working on Odroid HC4

[eskimos2000]

I hav installed Armbian Bulleyes. Did update setup basic after login and run script. However on the way they were errors:

and as a result script stops with:

I tried a reboot but the system never get back online.

[fscii]

I can confirm it never gets back online. I have tried odroids own flavor of debian (without petitboot loader) using the omv install script, am able to get into omv and set some things up but when I reboot = DOA. So I tried armbian using armbian-config to install OMV and when it says success - reboot.... DOA never gets back online.

[ryecoaaron]

I don’t know what DOA means? Is the system functioning with a monitor and keyboard? I have an HC4 and never had an issue with it but I haven’t tried a fresh install lately. armbian-config runs my script. So, that isn’t doing anything different for you. Did you follow the install guide on the forum or omv-extras wiki?

[fscii]

I ran Armbian Buster with OMV5 on the HC4 for over a year. What I did on odroids debian was use the script command:

sudo wget -O - https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/raw/master/install | sudo bash

Installed fine. I was able to access OMV but when I rebooted (always requires power cycle for some reason reboot commands don't work?), it no longer appeared on the network (DOA=dead on arrival). In the case of Armbian bullsye, I simply used armbian-config. It prompts for a reboot and it never comes back online.

In both cases they don't even reply to ping but the blue 'heartbeat' led is blinking indicating the kernel succeeded loading. Its quite possible that it does fully boot, but simply a problem with eth0 networking.

Edit: Tried a keyboard and monitor and no display output.

[ryecoaaron]

Sounds like a bad SD card. OMV uses netplan for networking. This change to netplan might cause it to have a different ip address on some routers but should never make the system unresponsive.

[fscii]

I tried another sd card. This time I used putty to scroll back and see the error. Just like the original poster of this issue, I got a netplan error.

I have exactly the same error when looked at connected screen.

So this is not the sdcard problem

I have connected monitor and on the end of OMV boot screen there is error:

Failed to start systemtd-networked. Some SS attached. I reckon Armbian is missing files or something.

[ryecoaaron]

All I can recommend is calling the install script with the ‘-n’ flag to skip network setup until I can figure out what is missing. If something is missing, it will likely be an OMV issue as well.

[thiscantbeserious]

Exactly the same behaviour with the NanoPi M4V2 using another Bullseye Image here and the script.

What I noticed is that the lights on the LAN-Port are significantly less bright after the script was run

(verfied with a second install) - afterwards its not able to assign an IP anymore.

HDMI+USB-Keyboard however still works ... for me and I'm able to observe the systemd-networkd timeout ...

Is your script modifying anything Kernel related? Maybe its rather related to something OMV is doing itself ...

I did notice its purging the previous NetworkManager config but that shouldn't break the Ethernet-Port completely should it ... specifically since DHCP should be the default configuration ...

Let me try to break it a third time ... first by installing with the -n flag to edge out potential causes.

---

Edit: Same script works fine on EspressoBin V5 with Armbian - just installed 4 days ago mind you

---

Edit 2: Yep, running the install script with skipping the network setup flag (-n) seems to work.

At least the network is not broken anymore.

Edit 3: Had a short hiccup OMV webui not starting on first try, now it does no clue what changed but oh well ...

Just for the sake of trying to figure out why:

I found this here in the Armbian forums: https://forum.openmediavault.org/index.php?thread/28609-unclear-network-behaviour/&postID=221680#post221680

Also the official instructions for Armbian here ... https://wiki.omv-extras.org/doku.php?id=omv6:armbian_bullseye_install

[ryecoaaron]

This is obviously an Armbian change (not specific boards) that the script and/or OMV needs to account for. Just give me a chance to test (not sure why netplan does not have a provider which should be networkd). Either use an older armbian image or skip networking. Yes, the install script uninstalls networkmanager because OMV uses netplan. If you skip networking and don't configure networking in OMV's web interface, the board will keep using networkmanager.

No, the install script does not change kernel parameters.

The lan port light should not be affected by any network setup. No idea on that.

[ryecoaaron]

Armbian seems to be included an incomplete netplan file. Not sure why but removing it fixed everything on my Odroid HC4. Script has been updated. https://github.com/OpenMediaVault-Plugin-Developers/installScript/commit/f8e4ad5ec1da2cf95ab4ee231c166d8cc9985ea4

[ryecoaaron]

I was testing with this image - Armbian_22.08.1_Odroidhc4_bullseye_current_5.10.139.img.xz

[eskimos2000]

Yeah, the script is working now, thanks a lot.
