[Solved] bubba|two not booting up after v2.4.1 upgrade
Posted: 18 Apr 2012, 16:12
Hi there
i wanted to upgrade my bubba|two version 2.05 to the 2.4.1 and followed the instructions given on http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3758 resp. http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/R ... ubba2_/_B3
steps done:
1. set the following bubba.cfg config:
2. shut down bubba, unplugged the power.
3. plugged the usb stick in one of the usb slots. held the powr button while plugging in the power.
3. bubba led blinked a while with 2 Hz and then with 4 Hz.
4. after a few minutes it rebooted and since then keeps blinking with 1 Hz for hours/days.
cant' acess the bubba over telnet nor ssh. device doesn't get even an IP adress from my router.
i bought now an external hdd case and installed the 1TB disk into to try to boot over the external sata on my Windows computer. my bios has a boot menu and it recognized the hdd. but booting from it failed. it does actually nothing. no errors or messages shown.
windows disk managment recognizes 3 partitons. it was of corses not able to recognize more.
though i installed the program Ext2Fsd and it showed me the 3 partitions: swap (smallest size) ext3 (middle size), raw (biggest size). the only partition i was able to mount with the program was the ext3. the mount was automatically labeled "bubba root". i could access (read only) the files. well on that parttion my data was not present. giving it the middle sized partition and its naming it was clear. i think my data is on the RAW labeled partition.
Defintion of RAW on Wikipedia: In computing, specifically Unix-like operating systems, a raw device is a special kind of block device file that allows accessing a storage device such as a hard drive directly, bypassing the operating system's caches and buffers (although the hardware caches might still be used).
though i'm hoping my data is still save. because the forums about windows users dealing with raw partitions indicates that the file system has gone corrupt for example.
actually i have no clue what is going on.
any idea what i may try further?
is bubba configured to have a RAW partition?
did i damage the file system table or mbr?
for worst case szenario: can i rescue data from a raw parttion?
