neolabs Posted March 31, 2014 Share #1 Posted March 31, 2014 Hi there, first post, but i'm following this amazing project since almost 2 years, so many changes ... I've just tryed the gnoboot work and i have an ununderstanding issue with 2 differents motherboard : Asus P5QL and Asus P5Q 1 i boot on the usb stick with the gnoboot img, choosing the gnoboot.me boot, running Synology assistant to upload the original .pat file = working great the "Nas" need to restart, and then, when still in the POST, the motherboard scanning the HDD drives, and get stuck when detecting the only one I put in. I've tryied with 3 differents hard drive, many different size. To make it work, i have to unplug the HDD when booting up the computer, and then, just before running the automatic boot from gnoboot, i have to replug the drive. - - - Latest bios installed on the 2 mobos, SATA drives in AHCI. If i want to make the computer boot again with a normal HDD detection in the POST, i have to delete all the partitions ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnoboot Posted March 31, 2014 Share #2 Posted March 31, 2014 screenshoot or dmesg would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neolabs Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted March 31, 2014 there will not have any dmesg, because if the drive is not unplugged before, the systeme is stuck just right there. I've tried the other sata ports, and 2 other HDD brand and size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnoboot Posted March 31, 2014 Share #4 Posted March 31, 2014 How about using a Linux livecd with your disks connected, does it work? I think this more of a hardware problem or something. It doesn't even load the GRUB and kernel. You can also try changing from AHCI to IDE mode, check if that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neolabs Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share #5 Posted March 31, 2014 if i delete the partition on the hard drive, the computer didn't get stuck. It appends on the first reboot, after uploading the .pat file. If i don't unplugged the drive before the motherboard check the Hard drive. If the sata mode is in IDE mode, the computer start normally ... the problem seems to be with the AHCI mode ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnoboot Posted April 1, 2014 Share #6 Posted April 1, 2014 if i delete the partition on the hard drive, the computer didn't get stuck. It appends on the first reboot, after uploading the .pat file. If i don't unplugged the drive before the motherboard check the Hard drive. If the sata mode is in IDE mode, the computer start normally ... the problem seems to be with the AHCI mode ... A quick google resulted to this. So i think this more of hardware bug/limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
