Hi everybody,

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

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







Hi,

Just a hunch, but can you still log-in as install/installer? Perhaps the kernel/initrd didn't get flashed and you somehow ended up in debian-installer again?

Other than that I'd recommend hooking up a serial console. It can save a lot of time troubleshooting if that's a viable option for you.

Best of luck!
Jan
