Two USB drives, won't boot? #6316
Comments
How are the external drives powered? Do they have an own PSU or just connected to USB ports? |
Sorry, meant to share it's a PSU, updated above. Also, following steps previously provided on #5729, since the issue seems similar, originally posted here, but condensed into original post for clarity / readability. |
Do you have a UART adapter to check early boot messages via serial console? What kind of USB drives are those? Did you try it with a different (secondary) one and with a different USB cable? I think we won't be able to definitely debug without a serial console. And it might still be a voltage issue, e.g. if the USB hub is not able to cover quick power peaks when both drives are powering up just when booting the RPi and are not spinning (of those are spinning HDDs) yet before. The HDD docking station I use here is spinning up the drives as fast as it gets power, so I'm able to boot the RPi ones those are at full speed. If this is possible as well in your case, would be at least worth to test. |
Recently got UART adapter, going to try serial console. They're older drives, but did try with other secondary drives, issue seems to persist. Trying an alternate USB hub as well. Won't rule out the voltage issue if it doesn't work, but worth a shot. Will circle back when have more info. |

via Performance options in dietpi-config, to rule out power, no change, also verified not the USB hub / PSU by trying other plugs on the hub and a different hub, issue persists. Feels like probably not power issue.Followed steps from #5729 to update logs, digging through now, will update if I find something, also updated bug report:
