device error 71

(1/4) > >>

patrick013:
I have a Debian OpenBox that boots from any usb port. The Debian LXDE will
only boot from one specific port. It needs to look at all of them to find and be
root, and mount the root filesystem by UUID.

That is not being done.

It says during boot after initrd loads :
device descriptor/64 Error -71
Can't enumerate usb device.
UUID xxxxxx does not exist

Then it won't mount the root filesystem which is the
UUID it starts booting from.

grub2 searches, finds the correct UUID, does initrd, but then
won't complete the boot and mount the darn root filesystem.
Says that UUID does not exist except from one specific USB
port when booted from, not the others.

Perhaps some parameter needs to be changed so it does a better
job of mounting the root filesystem, specified by grub2 with the
UUID. Then remake initrd so it does it all the time ?

I don't know what change to make so the initial ramdisk would
work right then.

Probably a simple fix, one adjustment to make.    Any ideas ?

Is it grub2 on the device, or syslinux?
What filesystem is used for the root?

From your description, it sounds like a problem with initrd rather than the bootloader. Have you considered rerunning mkinitrd?

Just redid initrd using update-initramfs.    Runs fast on sdc1.
No delays or errors at all.

It's grub2, xfs filesystem.   Boots the initrd from anywhere, just
won't finish mounting the root filesystem except when in sdc1,
which is actually port3.   The other 2 usb's are port1 and port2.

So, thanks for the response.

Not sure I understand. Does grub2 use UUIDs or the physical volume (sdc1)? And, are there other USB storage units inserted at boot time, or just that one?

grub2 is using UUID's as in it's default config.
No other USB's are there, but could be.

Don't know what else to tell ya'

thanks for the response.
