I think sda and sdb are hard disks so sdc is the first USB stick.
I only have the one hard disk that came with the machine.
Please try the following commands in U-Boot:
Code: Select all
setenv bootargs root=/dev/sdc2 rootdelay=5
Yes, it had occurred to me that would be the thing to do. But then a new problem! sdc and sdd keep switching with each other! When I tried sdc2 I got an old thumbdrive version of REMIX. So I switched to sdd2, and again the old REMIX! Getting ready for a new try, and spending a bit of time on "ls usb (#)" and "usb storage" I discovered that the drive had lost contact. I reinserted it, did another reset, more "usb storage," and the next time I tried (sdc? sdd? I don't remember) I was delighted to see "Welcome to FIENIX" flash by in the messages after the one about usb drive. But what I ended up with that time was a screenful of a green and purple cloth-like design with a text cursor in the middle. When I moved the cursor, it turned into an arrow. I moved it back to screen center, typed on the keyboard and it disappeared for a while. Maybe waiting for a password, I thought. So I went back to 16.04 and looked at the Fienix installation and boot notes. No password!
I'm in REMIX now, and lsblk says FIENIX is sdd2.
Code: Select all
fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage-4.18
That fails, because there's no 4.18 in wherever usb 0:1 targets. But I switched to uImage-4.20, which usb 0:1 always finds for MATE and REMIX.'ll
I'll try the label approach as soon as I get 4.20-rc6 set up. Thanks.
