Petitboot, yet another bootloader based on KEXEC

Start MMC with android

Strange...that's a bit weird...let me check why.
FYI, pressing any key on a keyboard will stop booting an OS in Petitboot.

the problem could be that after pressing OK I remove the power from the plug without crtl+alt+canc?

The setting configuration is no stored right after pressing OK, it stores after a several minutes. So you need to take a breath a bit, but fw_setenv does affect but it didn't change...so maybe some bug.

Bug petiboot? should i just wait fix?

I'm running petitboot dev.20220317 on an N2+ (apparently it's the latest version according to pb_update). I'm now using my N2+ as a desktop computer, with the rootfs attached to a USB SATA adapter and a SSD plugged in. I am able to boot correctly, however, on boot it doesn't see the disk and doesn't list it as an option unless I exit and re-enter petitboot, or hit Rescan devices.

I seem to rememeber being an option to wait/delay boot to give mechanical disks a chance to spin up (it isn't my case, but it might help), but for the life of me, I can't find the option name on the forum... Any ideas what it's called?

The USB-SATA adapter is a Hardkernel one - JMicron JMS578, if it's relevant.

Technically the storage must be presented even later when any OS is not started yet, but it's worth to try adding usb-storage.quirks to kernel command line of Petitboot.

I have been using OS via SSD for a long time, sometimes it is necessary to wait 30-40 seconds. If the OSes are not listed after waiting 30-40 seconds, I recommend you to switch to a USB-SATA adapter with ASM 225CM chipset.
According to my experience, the most trouble-free USB-SATA adapters for SSD are ASM branded ones.

Thanks for the suggestion! usbquirks did the trick!
152d:0578:u can be added to the default list!
