Still available?

Still for sale?

Thanks for that! Are the LED signals on boot described somewhere?

Nope and I admit I'm kinda lazy to write it.


OK. (Is it the IP of the WAN or LAN port that is signalled this way?)



Still, the B3 seems to be a bit unstable at the moment. On some boot attempts with the rescue stick, the ...

In the meantime I was able to boot with a Gentoo rescue stick, access the configuration files on the disk and restore the previous network settings, and after that the B3 booted and connected successfully. All my data is available on ...

If I install this Buster image, does it mean all the original functionalities of the B3 are preserved but with more recent versions of ...

Just some additional info: if I plug in a USB memory stick that has an LED indicator on it, I can see that the USB stick is powered by the server. Still, it seems it's not detected.

Hi,

I'm suspecting the USB ports have become broken.

Any advice for diagnosing the issue is appreciated!

Thanks
