Pineapple shuts down after inserting USB

[shoeless89]

Hey guys so I upgraded my firmware to 3.0 and every time I inserted a USB into the Pineapple it would shutdown. I thought it was a power supply problem, https://forums.hak5.org/index.php?/topic/30033-misplaced-pineapple-power-supply/ so I am using the 12V 2A power supply. Still the same thing was happening so I downgraded back to 2.8.1 and the same thing continues. I am NOT using a USB hub and I am using the 4GB Sandisks sold in the Hak shop. I have verified functionality of the USB and reformatted it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Can you boot with it attached?

Resolved for me,

What was happening there was a miss type in the

Fstab Configuration:

Boot it without the flash drive then do this,

my config if you want to just copy and past it in the Fstab Configuration,

config global automount

option from_fstab 1

option anon_mount 1

config global autoswap

option from_fstab 1

option anon_swap 1

config mount

option target /usb

option device /dev/sda1

option fstype ext4

option options rw,sync

option enabled 1

option enabled_fsck 0

config swap

option device /dev/sda2

option enabled 1

-------------------------------

Save it then plug your usb in wait 5 mins then reboot it with the usb in.

Updating the Fstab did NOT work. Just got a UART cable in today, gonna try a clean flash and see if that fixes it. Thanks for all your help!
