Hello everyone,
I’m facing several issues while installing Debian on a STORA MS2000 NAS using a USB stick.
I'm new to this type of installation and I've been on it for a good week, skimming Doozan's topics. I even tried booting via ttl but nothing works. I'm getting used to the idea that I'm not going to manage it without help!
Here's the context and the problems I've encountered:
Context:
I followed the steps in this tutorial successfully until the "running the installer" section. Everything went smoothly up to this point, but after this step, Debian starts but I’m facing multiple issues that prevent me from completing the installation.
Server connection issues:
The installer fails to find a site with a downloadable release.
I encounter either server connection issues or incorrect Debian version errors.
Due to these difficulties, I decided to bypass the issue and try the next step by creating a USB stick with Debian-5.6.7-kirkwood-tld-1-rootfs-bodhi.tar.bz2, to boot directly from it and continue from the "boot the system" section.
Steps taken so far:
Preparing the USB stick:
I used fdisk to partition the USB stick (formatted as ext3).
Debian was installed onto this USB stick.
The USB stick was configured with an /etc/fstab file for mounting the file system.
Issues encountered:
Root file system mounting issue: During boot on the NAS, I receive an error when trying to mount the root partition. The system attempts to mount /dev/sda1 but fails with the following error:
Kernel Panic: The system crashes with a kernel panic, as shown below:
Partitioning issues: Sometimes, it seems the partition isn't mounted correctly, and I’ve faced multiple errors related to formatting attempts with mkfs.
Additional details:
I tried repairing the partitions with fsck, but the problem persists.
I checked system file permissions and missing libraries.
I also attempted to force the installation of the libselinux.so.1 library, but that did not resolve the error.
Questions:
Compatibility with STORA MS2000: Are there specific steps to follow for installing Debian on this NAS? Are there any particularities related to the architecture of this model (Kirkwood)?
Missing libraries: Is it possible that critical files like libselinux.so.1 are missing from the rootfs archive I used? How can I fix this issue?
Boot and Kernel Panic: Do you have suggestions for bypassing the kernel panic and errors when accessing the file system?
Other ideas: Are there any additional configurations I should apply in fstab or elsewhere to make Debian work properly on this NAS?
Thank you so much for your help, any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
