Re: Should /boot be ext2, instead of ext4?

Would it be possible to make uboot (and/or any of the other non-grub boot loaders) load grub, which then would load and configure the kernel from an ext4 or LVM partition? Rick

elect it from the list. Driver needed by your Ethernet card: and gave a long list of available ethernet drivers. I couldn't find anything that looked like an Atheros 8035 driver, which seems to be the one in use when I boot with a working system. Any suggestions? Thanks! Rick [1] https://d-i.d

Installing Debian Buster on Cubox-i4 with eSATA drive.

happening. Anybody know what I can do to either: 1) Tell the power-up routines to look at the eSATA? or 2) Write the boot firmware to the SD card and configure it to get the rest of the system from the eSATA? Debug logs were saved, and can be provided upon request. Thanks in advance for any help
