Fails to find USB devices and drops to login prompt #4

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

atv-bootloader loads but fails to find USB devices and then drops to a login 
prompt (penbuntu). 

/etc/init.d/rcS in the initramfs (initrd.gz) needs to delay for about 5 seconds 
to allow USB devices to 
appear in /proc/partitions. Without this delay, attached USB devices might not 
be seen by 
/usr/sbin/boot_linux.sh. boot_linux.sh is the script that searches for boot 
config files on attached 
devices. 

If you are dropped to the login, login (user = root, password = root) and run 
boot_linux.sh, it will 
now see attached USB devices and linux will boot. 

This issue did not show up on USB pen drives and only seesm to effect USB hard 
drives. Now fixed 
in svn with the addition of a 5 second delay before running boot_linux.sh

The current recovery.tar.gz download has a 5 second delay built in. If you need 
more delay, try building a 
recovery pen drive and manually booting your kernel.
