System start on reboot sometimes fails
Posted: 28 Jul 2018, 08:36
We've noticed that the revPI core sometimes doesn't startup fully after a "sudo reboot".
It doesn't happen often - a rough guess: 1/50.
When it happens the only solution seems to be to power cycle the device. The system never fails to start after a Power cycle.
After a failed reboot-start, the device is typically listed in a network discovery but with limited services, no port 80, no SSH and no applications.
Questions:
1. Can you elaborate what is the difference between a power cycle start and a reboot?
2. How can we troubleshoot this issue?
3. is there an alternative method to 'reboot' ?
