Difficult to read...
So you can see boot screen but partitions are not mounted ? A driver may be needed but I would need more technical info about the device.

Device

Manufacturer
https://protectli.com/vault-6-port/

[rifaterdemsahin]

Maybe i should install over ESXI ?

thsi device seems ton support ubuntu and other distro...

did you try EFI and non EFI img ...

try 0.56.5

do you try to start OMR on a usb key ?

[vinceducat]

why not start this device on usb key like ubunut or other distro and transfert image to SSD
with

gunzip openmptcprouter-.img.gz
dd bs=4M if=openmptcprouter-.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fsync

[vinceducat]

u seems to be log via SSH on OMR i dont understand why ???

why do you want to launch this script, to copy image u seems to be on an OMR working because u are log in ssh on OMR ...

my idea : launch your device with ubuntu / debian on a live usb.

get OMR img from the web site..

transfert the image to the ssd..

relaunch and select ssd in te boot

[rifaterdemsahin]

There is only one drive left

MaYbe my image should not be the generic x64 one ?

[vinceducat]

Get the last one

[rifaterdemsahin]

This also did not work

[vinceducat]

If you create an usb omr usb under winfows with img and software like etcher is this usb key with omr start?

[vinceducat]

Under an usb live key with unbuntu is the ssd reconized? Is the ssd active in bios?

[rifaterdemsahin]

Ssd active in bios

[rifaterdemsahin]

I did install Ubuntu to the ssd.
Ssd works on that box

[vinceducat]

So 1st is ssd 2nd is usb key ? Like 3rd

[rifaterdemsahin]

With usb omr the box starts but I can't find the ssd when I start with omr usb key.

Should I install debian
And do
https://github.com/Ysurac/openmptcprouter/wiki/Create-image-for-unsupported-platform

[rifaterdemsahin]

P0 is the ssd

[vinceducat]

If you start a unbuntu live usb is the ssd reconized?

[rifaterdemsahin]

If you start a unbuntu live usb is the ssd reconized?

Yes

[vinceducat]

Is ubuntu reconized ssd?

[vinceducat]

So from ubuntu transfert omr img to the ssd...

[vinceducat]

What is the name of the device under ubuntu? Sdx? Sdb sdc??

[vinceducat]

Download img with wget of from the web browser under ubuntu...

Then i a terminal...

gunzip omr-.img.gz
dd bs=4M if=omr-.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fsync

Replace omr-*.img with the complete name of the download img... ans /dev/sdX with the real name of the sss

[vinceducat]

Wtah was the result?

Send us result of the command...

[rifaterdemsahin]

Is ubuntu reconized ssd?
yes I can install ubuntu on to the box

So from ubuntu transfert omr img to the ssd...
How can I transfer if it is a running image
I tried movinng the image with dd from usb key but that throw the errror or : unknow file system

What is the name of the device under ubuntu? Sdx? Sdb sdc??
sda5

Wtah was the result?
I ran dd bs=4M if=omr-.img of=/dev/sdX conv=fsync
I got After boot : unknown file system

[rifaterdemsahin]

https://twitter.com/rifaterdemsahin/status/1326667556535603200?s=09

this did not work

[rifaterdemsahin]

ubuntu sees sda5

and dd command should have worked but i get

[vinceducat]

I think hou mixed some...

1st launch ubunutu live usb... dont install ubuntu on ssd just launch.. in live usb start. You will have a system wotking...
Download under ubunutu from website the img for x86-64 ...

Open in ubuntu a terminal and gunzip and dd to the ssd. Shutdown remove usb restart.. and launch the system on the ssd

[rifaterdemsahin]

`I think hou mixed some...

1st launcj ubunutu live usb... dont install ubuntu on ssd just launch.. in live usb start. You will have a system wotking...
Dowload under ubunutu from website the img for x86-64 ...

Open in uvuntu a terminql and gunzip and dd to the ssd. Shutdown rdmove usb restart.. and launch the system on the ssd`

I did all. here is the proof

and i got the error/ i removed the USB

[rifaterdemsahin]

maybe something wrong with the image.
I am too tired and need to go to sleep

the VPS is runnning i would try to set the OMR if i can tomorrow.
Maybe installing debian is the way to go ?

[vinceducat]

After relaunch omr system will start on ssd....
After that system should be accessible ...throught browser via another machine on your networh

[vinceducat]

I think there is a problem du to your many try...probleme with grub.... not with omr ... because system stop in grub... perhaps @Ysurac can help now....

[rifaterdemsahin]

i could not move the image
even though i thought i did or the image is corrupted

[vinceducat]

The error is ghat the dd command is sda not sda5 ..... i think problem will be solved...

[rifaterdemsahin]

I will try this one more time
https://protectli.com/kb/how-to-create-a-bootable-usb-drive-for-software-installation/

i can use the machine from usb and forget the ssd
crappy solution on my end

[vinceducat]

Try to replace sda5 by sda.....

[vinceducat]

I will try this one more time
https://protectli.com/kb

Try first to replace sda5 with sda😉

[rifaterdemsahin]

Also can't get the drive names

[rifaterdemsahin]

Try to replace sda5 by sda.....

I will give it a try

[vinceducat]

Please dont send so big image is difficilt to load for me...

[vinceducat]

Let me know if it is ok ..

[rifaterdemsahin]

Could be sda as spam is under sda

[vinceducat]

Sorry dont understand...

[vinceducat]

Just try the dd command with /dev/sda

[vinceducat]

Sda is your ssd 500Go and sdb your usb key 128Go right...?
Try
gunzip omr-.img.gz
dd bs=4M if=omr-.img of=/dev/sda conv=fsync

[rifaterdemsahin]

[rifaterdemsahin]

Sda worked i got stuck

At something different i used the first efi image

[vinceducat]

Its better..

[rifaterdemsahin]

Thanks a lot by the way

[vinceducat]

You have a probleme with efi in bios try to disable efi signature or option mike that...

[vinceducat]

Have you check that omr image is not corrupt after download with sha256 sum.. just ho be sure

[rifaterdemsahin]

From the boot sequence I selected uefi

And I now got stuck here

[vinceducat]

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1112264-start-0.html leave efi boot but disable secure boot

[vinceducat]

From the boot sequence I selected uefi

And I now got stuck here

Is it starting or stop at this point

[vinceducat]

What are the efi option in the bios menu?

[rifaterdemsahin]

[rifaterdemsahin]

Now I am stuck and it says booti openmptcprouter

[vinceducat]

Try to put efi and legacy...
And try different option in the boot menu

Have hou check that the omr image was not corrupt after download...to check if image is really good or not

[rifaterdemsahin]

Grub opened up at 3rd reset

[rifaterdemsahin]

Doing a checksum check

[rifaterdemsahin]

Looks the same will retry than go and sleep

[rifaterdemsahin]

Now the router is in a loop of restarting and entering bios

[rifaterdemsahin]

I am contacting the manufacturer [email protected]

as it entered into a booting loop

[rifaterdemsahin]

[rifaterdemsahin]

after uploading defaults and reloading the router opened up. I will try to connect

[vinceducat]

Sda worked i got stuck

At something different i used the first efi image

After re reading the post i think it was the best result you had. So the question is why this data corruption...
Error in dd command... or other problem

[rifaterdemsahin]

I have solved after doing the sda update and the bios reset

now started setting the interfaces
