gmgfarrand Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I upgraded to the current stable release, and when I plug in my USB flash that I have been using all along to store modules.. It seems to crash and the WPS light blinks.. only other light on is PWR... I have taken the flash and reformatted with EXT4 and even used another flash drive. What am I missing?

aPices Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I would also: make sure you removed the check mark from "Take ownership of this volume". configured a swap partition ( rule above still applies) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmgfarrand Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 If I plug in the Flash Drive when the pineapple is off, it never boots up, the PWR light is on and the WPS keeps flashing. if I plug in the Flash Drive when the pineapple is on, USB blinks a few times, then all the lights except PWR go out, then WPS starts flashing.. What gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hfam Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Barring any hardware issues (USB drive has gone wonky), those symptoms sound like an inadequate power issue. Try plugging in power with the provided power adapter and see if the problem goes away. If you're already doing so, perhaps the power supply itself has gone tits up, and try a new one?

gmgfarrand Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Didn't happen until AFTER latest firmware... Going to try rolling back... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Before rolling back, I suggest you stick with 2.7.0 and reformat your USB drive. Follow the fstab update and mkswap inscturctions, then install your favorite infusions. As long as your pineapple is booting ok without the drive, this is probably the best option. I agree that you should use the provided power supply for these procedures instead of a battery pack. (On a side note, I have an 8,000 mAh batter pack that powers the pineapple just fine. The USB drive I was using was an old 2Gig one I had laying around and it all worked well together. Then I bought an 8Gig SanDisk Cruzer for the low profile but it will not be powered by the pineapple when attached to the battery pack, with the power supply it does though. All of this happened with the new 2.7.0, so I know it's not a firmware issue. There are several other posts about this topic already though.)

gmgfarrand Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 Not an issue on 2.4.0.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmgfarrand Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have been running with included POWER adapter the whole time... The flash has been reformatted a few times already.. will do again later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thesugarat Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Reading your original post, you've reformatted the drive since upgrading to 2.7.0 and it still won't boot. But rolling back to 2.4.0, that same drive works... Yeah that's an odd one. And you say you've used another usb drive... Did that one work? That would seem to rule out a USB to motherboard connection issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmgfarrand Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Both drives I have tried have worked fine in previous FW versions... very odd.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
