I have been using usb CF adapter (14cd:8168 Super Top) and a CF card as my boot drive for a long time on my dockstar (few years) . Recent upgrade to Jessie screwed up the audio so I shutdown the sysem to remove the hardware. The system was up 24x7 for months, just reboots for kernel updates but powered on. Now the U-Boot or the rescue system cannot see the usb adapter or the card. I cannot boot from the adapter. lsusb does not show the hardware on the rescue system either.
I have tried few other cards and the same adapter. They all fail on the dockstar.
The same card in another usb adapter on the dockstar works.
But the adapter and any card works on my desktop and the laptop. The rescue system and the u-boot has not been changed for a long time. What could have gone bad in the dockstar?
