Failed installation of 2.4.1.1 on B3, B3 now not reachable
Posted: 14 Dec 2012, 10:34
Hi,
I made a re-install of my B3, with a fat23 formatted USB stick. My B3 is now not contactable...
The running version was 2.3 (I think...), and I wanted to make a quick upgrade install to the current 2.4.1.1 with a usb stick. The params changed in bubba.cfg were:
The rest of the settings were unchanged.
I made the following during the setup procedure:
- I copied the unzipped install directory to my FAT32 formatted USB drive
- unplugged power from the B3, plugged in the USB drive
- pressed the power button und plugged the power chord in
- Front LED turns green, for about 5-10 minutes
- then it turnes purple and keeps purple for more than 45 minutes.
(thanks dickie!)
I have taken out B3 internal harddrive and plugged it via a USB cable directly to a computer running a live Ubuntu CD: the main hard drive partition is readable, but nontheless when inserted back into the Bubba casing the hard drive won't boot at all - the puple led is lit, no blue led is never ever lit.
I have been experimenting following the steps from http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?p=19792, it seems like a similar (same?) problem as I have.
When the hard drive is set back in B3 casing, I got it once to boot by omitting the following row of the LVM volume in fstab: (just like in the mentioned thread)
But I couldn't get the LVM volume to mount, as in the mentioned thread I also get the same error when trying to mount LVM:
So, I have two problems/issues:
1. My B3 won't boot up to functional state, cannot get past the purple led status into the blue led status
2. I cannot mount the LVM volume, so all the user files are unaccesible... :/
Does anybody has an idea on how to get past the issues, so I can boot up B3 properly and mount the LVM area again??

Code: Select all
/dev/mapper/bubba-storage /home ext3 defaults 0 2mount -t ext3 /dev/bubba/storage /mnt/mydata
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/bubba-storage,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
