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

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:

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!
