I just updated my U-Boot to 2017.07-tld-1 (Oct 24 2017 - 22:32:36 -0700) and I'm occasionally getting the following (from netconsole):
And then I cannot login. After many attempts, I finally got a serial port capture of the boot process when it fails:
Notice the ** File not found /boot/uImage ** message from netconsole. I can't say for sure that it has anything to do with the U-Boot update since my Dockstar was having the occasional booting problem for a while now. The boot device should be a flash drive on usb 0:1, not usb 1:1 as shown above. The usb 1:1 device is a 4TB ext4 formatted drive with no /boot directory and no rootfs label, so I can't understand why it's being picked up as the boot device.
At this point the only way to proceed is to push the reset button or unplug it, neither of which I can do remotely, so I'd really like to figure out what's going on so that I can reboot remotely and/or recover from a power outage.
