Dear Forum,
recently a lightning struck in my neighborhood and destroyed my router plus everything that was attached to it via cable. Fortunately my synology had only its ethernet fried and was doing quite well when I checked in via UART. So I followed the guide on https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Synology to get a usb ethernet adapter loading and enjoyed a real debian system. Life was good. Thanks to everyone that made all this possible!
However when I shut down the system it stayed in a meta state (disk off, fan off, power led on), presumably because I did not install the kernel from this forum. That was scheduled for later. However that chance never came. Since that joyful boot the system does not respond anymore. Pressing the power button turns on the power led and activates the fan. That is it. UART stays quiet and obviously I don't see any traces of uboot booting. So far I tried:
- Unplugging all drives
- Changing the cables of UART connection
- Cursing, swearing
Any suggestions on what has happened and how to fix (if even possible) that? Blaming the lightning seems far fetched, as the system ran without problems (well useless without ethernet, but booted), but I do not see the stock debian kernel doing any harm, as I did several power cycles that day without issues.
Best regards
Max
