Love your work, it's been rockin on my rigs for God knows how long. I recently had to rebuild one and immediately went to your site, followed the typical instructions, even watched the youtube video
My current build:
R-Pi 3
Latest version of Retro-Pie 4.4
128GB Samsung SD
128 Sandisk USB
To be concise the Pi would freeze at bootup, to be further precise, at
reached target login prompts
Removing the USB drive and rebooting the box allows it to boot normally without hanging or any errors.Taking a peek at /var/log/syslog it complains about:
[FAILED] failed to start usbmount@dev-sda.service
Which I understand typically you could ignore but this is my attempt at being thorough.
I continued my troubleshooting to attempt to see if it was a SNAFU on my end that I had not completed a step or similar oversight when I determined that both smb.conf and 10-retropie.sh have no configs in them at all, completely empty files. Easily I copied the script to the .exp and verified the link to .conf was working and rebooted drive in place.
The rig again froze, and at times randomly rebooting during the bootup process. I removed the device and again tested to verify it would boot without the drive in place. During one of the bootup processes I noticed if it did not discover the device it reverted back to the prior config, so with a quickness when the system actually started to being the login process I plugged the drive in to see if it would finally load. It did. It took a while but it did. Every rom was now available and it appeared to be working. I attempted to launch a game and it crashed the system. I have now since turned the system off with hopes the logs are still in tact if you require them. Thanks again for this tool kit, hopefully I'm helping!
