NAS326 problem booting (3 replies)

Hi Bodhi,

I'm back trying to get this to work on my NAS326. (Got busy for awhile!)

I didn't restore back to permanent OS, so my Zyxel firmware is still resetting to default on startup. I don't mind that for now because I'm determined to run OpenMediaVault on my device.

I keep trying your instructions to "Mount the drive on a Linux box. cd to top level directory and extract the rootfs. Assuming the USB drive is mounted at /media/sdb1" Mine is actually at /mount/ubuntu/rootfs1 But there is no "boot" folder so I can't "cp -a zImage-4.9.0-mvebu-tld-12 zImage". I tried to make that folder and then perform the cp, but it didn't work.

I also cant nano "/mount/ubuntu/rootfs1/etc/fstab"

Did I completely miss a step somewhere?

I also tried dd an image to my USB drive according to instructions here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/openmediavault/files/Other%20armhf%20images/

My Ubuntu box can see the contents of that dd image on the USB drive, but the NAS326 will not boot off of it. In fact, everytime I try to boot off the USB drive, it will look like it's starting up, then it will seize with all lights on, restart, then come back up with Zyxel firmware.

Thanks!
