Hello everybody,
I'm new to OMV, but not new to NAS or computers. I'm also to some extent familiar with Linux.
So I installed OMV 7 on my old Qnap NAS TS-259. This is still x32-bit, so I first installed Debian and then OMV using the install script.
Boot device is a USB stick with 8GB (stick is USB 3, while USB port of NAS is USB 2 - just in case this does matter)
My installation basically works fine and is working as expected.
BUT every now and then I have problems booting the NAS. It either boots fine or it hangs after "initial ramdisk ...".
After loading the ramdisk the screen goes black with just a blinking cursor in the upper left corner.
I know that this is expected behavior - but it's also expected to show the login screen after maybe half a minute.
And here the NAS get's stuck.
I tried removing the "quiet" parameter from GRUB, but that didn't help anything.
When it boots, I get all the expected messages. If it doesn't boot, I don't get any of those messages. Not a single line...
So no additional information where it might get stuck.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Quack
