Problem installing after change of HDD B3

[nobbe2003]

Hi,

I bought a B3 with a 2 TB disk. And then I took the 2 TB disk and put it in my computer, beaus there I had a 3 TB disk that I couldnt use. Have to old controller on the motherboard.

So i did put my 3 TB disk in the B3 and have done de reinstall as its dicribed on Wiki.

My disk is Western Digital Caviar Green WD30EZRX 3TB 5400rpm 64MB 3.5" SATA-3

The installation seems to go right, its greens about 15 min. Then its starting to blink purple. Never turns blue.

Can someone help me?

I have managed to create a rescue USB and log in to root. But I dont know any comands in SSH.

Hi,

I'm nobbe2003's first line support, here are some more info about the system:

Code: Select all

# parted -l

/dev/sda1                 9.8G      1.2G      8.2G  12% /mnt/disk

The upgrade of uboot has also been performed (http://wiki.excito.org/wiki/index.php/U ... _3TB_disks) but could anyone tell me how to confirm that it went ok? (I mean, obviously it can find the disk, so I guess it worked ok.)

To make sure the disk didn't have any flags or anything left from the PC he ran:

Code: Select all

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=1M

(as found in http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f ... 3tb#p21476)

I don't know how to mount the lvm partition so I can't really tell you how that looks.

Hi,

I see I forgot to post the solution to the problem.

The uboot upgrade had not been successful, to my understanding it was the particular USB memory stick that wasn't supported. I noticed that when I connected to the UART (serial interface) and could see the console messages. Using a different USB memory ensured the uboot upgrade success and then there were no problems with the new HDD.
