Unable to boot from the created images #33

Closed cubit9-danielpeyer closed 3 years ago

cubit9-danielpeyer commented 3 years ago

I could successfully create the images for Debian Buster and Devuan Beowulf. But both images fail to boot on my RPi4. I always end up with a message like this:

Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
Done.
Gave up waiting for the root file system device. Common problem:
  ...
ALERT! PARTUUID=45cba071-02 does not exist. Dropping to a shell.

Do I have to change something somewhere in a configuration file?

My OS is: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS x86_64

My steps to create the images:

  1. make config (enter a username and password)
  2. make menu
    • Selected RPi 4B
      • Make Kernel
        • Make ROOTFS
        • Make Image
  3. Write the image with Balena Etcher to an SD card

Found my problem. It works as expected on a fresh Ubuntu installation.

It looks like something was off with ur /dev/loop's and the builder got confused and used the wrong PARTUUID when creating the img. This can happen if there are multiple loops in use or you had a build fail and didn't run make cleanup afterwards. In any case a reboot usually fixes the problem when all else fails.
