Kirkwood installation on QNAP TS-420U

[Peter Nagel <peter.nagel@kit.edu>]

Hi everybody,

I'm trying to install Jessy on a QNAP TS-420U using GPT and RAID1:

RAID1 device #0 - 20.0 GB Software RAID device
>     #1     20.0 GB    f  ext4               /
SCSI1 (0.0.0) (sda) - 4.0 TB ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W
>             1.0 MB       FREE SPACE
>     #1      1.0 MB    f  biosgrub 
>     #2     20.0 GB    K  raid

>     #3    500.0 MB    F  swap
>             4.0 TB       FREE SPACE
SCSI2 (0.0.0) (sdb) - 4.0 TB ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W
>             1.0 MB       FREE SPACE
>     #1      1.0 MB    f  biosgrub 
>     #2     20.0 GB    K  raid
>     #3    500.0 MB    F  swap
>             4.0 TB       FREE SPACE

My first problem was that the installation was hanging during 'Configuring flash memory to boot the system'.

However, I was able to restart the installer and ... I decided to first try the same installation without RAID1.
The good news is that the installer was running through without any problems - the bad news is that after restart I am not able to login anymore:

> ping xxx.xxx.69.241
PING xxx.xxx.69.241 (xxx.xxx.69.241) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from xxx.xxx.69.241: icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.135 ms

> ssh root@xxx.xxx.69.241
root@xxx.xxx.69.241's password:
Permission denied, please try again.

I was trying to reset the QNAP to get back the default QNAP factory settings but that didn't help.
Any suggestions how to start from scratch?

Many Thanks in advance,
Peter
