Strange upload error

If I run the image in “upload - debug” mode, can I run the commands in that mode?

Try host -> Basic tasks -> Debug. That should get you to a shell.

This is the end screen.

@Julianh Is it possible there’s an issue with RAM on this device? Or is this what’s happening on ALL devices?

[Julianh]

This is the result of the hdparm -I /dev/sda command. I didn’t know what you wanted, so here’s the lot.

Hi Tom, the Machine is behaving perfectly well, I doubt there’s a memory issue, but I’ll run a check on it anyway. THanks for the suggestion.

@Julianh I forgot to say Tom, It’s only this one machine.

Do other machines of this model work?

The disk model is pretty close to those I mentioned earlier but I don’t think that my suggestions on broken FPDMA_AA were correct in this case - now that I know that it’s only this one machine having issues. I guess you have the same disk in all or some of the other machines as well.

It might be memory but from the things we have seen so far I reckon it’s the disk itself - as simple as that. Run another debug session and smartctl -A /dev/sda. If you post a picture of the values we’ll probably be able to tell you how “healthy” your disk is.

I fixed it, it was the grapjics card. I swapped it over and now it’s working perfectly.

I spend, not hours, but days on this, eventually I swapped every component with one that worked.

Thanks for all your help, what a weird one!

Could you change this to solved please

Thanks

@Julianh WOW! Not something I’d have ever come up with. Thanks a lot for reporting back. I am really glad that we don’t need any kind of special kernel patch to make this work.
