Hello everyone. I just received the adapter and is pretty nice. I love it. Is amazing. And it works well.
So I’m trying now to install Rockstor on it. I have been failing for a while, until I remembered that this NAS don’t admit any pen drive that’s not of 16 GB. YES, any other size doesn’t work. So I marked inside it a remember with a marker saying “Use 16 Gb memory”.
I used this amazing command in Debian for making my USB installer on my 16 Gb USB drive:
dd if=/Archivos/Archivos/Descargas/Rockstor-3.9.1.iso |pv| dd of=/dev/sde
Notice the |pv| option, is pretty good to know something when a command doesn’t show a single thing.
And… nothing happens. I don’t have even a clue about if it is working or not, as after showing as it will boot, stays showing nothing and stays there. I think that maybe is booting but showing things by some graphic interface that this thing has not.
Is a good idea using a kickstart file to force it to use the serial way for installing? Is this possible?
I checked this:
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/s1-kickstart2-options.html
https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Installation_Guide-en-US/ch-redhat-config-kickstart.html
But I think the best one is this:
But I don’t want Arch, I want Rockstor… I will go deeper into this one until a better answer, as I think is the best path by now.
I just took that deep look some minutes ago and found that the issue was the partition table of the USB drive. As the .iso image changes it, I had to format it into GPT and copy all the files to a new NTFS partition into the USB drive. That, after some kind of weird attempts, finally works. And it seems to boot perfectly, but after the bootloader I can’t see no thing.
Tomorrow I will try to find the way by the boot options to make it work by tty console or something to make it work at all.
I will appreciate suggestions…
