Intermittent "device not ready yet" messages on NUC
Posted: 27 Dec 2017, 13:53
Hi!
I don't know if this is a bug or some other problem, so I'll start here.
I've been trying to install Porteus Kiosk 4.5.0 on two Intel NUCs (specifically an oldish Celeron based NUC4CPYH and a fairly modern 7th gen i3-based NUC7i3BNK). I burn the installer image onto a USB (tried a few different ones), boot, configure and install on to that same USB stick. The initial boot of the "installer" always works. When I reboot after installation to run the kiosk, it typically works OK the first time; browser loads, and shows the specified URL. If I then shut down and reboot, this occasionally may work again, but often results in an error message:
device not ready yet?
with a countdown, followed by a "Error: Kiosk data not found". If I then reboot, I sometimes get the same error, but occasionally it boots up correctly. So it's not like the USB stick got damaged or corrupt for some reason, as it sometimes boots and works OK just by rebooting. My configuration is as follows:
connection=wired
dhcp=yes
browser=chrome
homepage_append=mac
homepage=http://10.0.2.10/index.html
hide_mouse=yes
disable_navigation_bar=yes
disable_private_mode=yes
wake_on_lan=yes
disable_zoom_controls=yes
additional_components=uefi.zip
Any ideas of what may be causing this? Anything I can check or look at to obtain better information?
