TC Fails mid boot

(1/4) > >>

ewanbcn:
I have a usb install which has been working fine, yesterday I received a new board to test - jetway NC98-525E - which worked perfectly all day.
Today when attempting to boot I get as far as -
"adding 516500k swap on /dev/zram0. Priority:-1 extents:1 across:516500k ss"
then nothing...

Its definately a hardware problem with the board as I've tested the usb on others and also another working usb install halts at the same point.

My question is - does anyone know why it stops before the squashfs line in dmesg, it worked fine all day yesterday so some hardware has failed but any clues as to what?

Thanks

You could give the boot code "nozswap" a try and see if it goes any further then...

Hi ewanbcn
About the only things you can do in a case like this swap parts one at a time if you have any available.
If you have two DIMMS, try them one at a time in case one is faulty. Anything that plugs in (CPU, power supply, etc.)
for which you have a known working one, plug it in. You could also try checking the BIOS to see if it contains any
settings that may be out of wack (overclocking?), and if it has that displays CPU temperature and voltages, check
that too.
Or you could just try tinypoodles idea.

This is not a base issue, moving to Off Topic.

tinypoodle:
And if all of the above should remain inconclusive or if it works better when removing some memory stick, then you might consider running memtest86 or memtest86+

ewanbcn:
Thanks
I'll try and find the cause now
