Boot from SSD - Outdated description?

[adminX]

@peci1

Nope, verified it doesn’t work. I have SSD boot configured per Turris Documentation, with root=/dev/sda1, but rollback (2 LED) doesn’t work. It doesn’t do anything but reboot the router twice (probably once into the rescue boot menu, and then normal reboot). I have the oldest Omnia from Indiegogo. Isn’t what you say true only for the newer Omnias?

I assume the following is correct and checked as best as possible with my configuration but was not executed as i don’t want to reboot my router now.

If you have a pre-2019 Omnia this needs the updated old rescue image. It basically is:

cd /tmp
wget https://repo.turris.cz/omnia-stable/nor_fw/omnia-initramfs-zimage
mtd -e /dev/mtd1 omnia-initramfs-zimage /dev/mtd1

For some background on flashing and recovering the older images:

Boot Recsue is broken

Newer Omnias have multiple differences in hardware, u-boot and rescue images. More information about the changes and upcoming changes for older Omnias are in the thread below:
