Hi all, I followed the instructions from here but the boot process hangs just before its ending. This is what I get in U-Boot with the sata info command: Code: => sata info SATA device 0: Model: KINGSTON SV300S37A60G Firm: 608ABBF0 Ser#: 50026B72630E9F8 Type: Hard Disk Supports 48-bit addressing Capacity: 57241.8 MB = 55.9 GB (117231408 x 512) so the SATA device is visible. That's the output of the boot process: Code: U-Boot SPL 2015.10-00062-g8af36f3 (Mar 08 2016 - 16:53:02) U-Boot 2015.10-00062-g8af36f3 (Mar 08 2016 - 16:53:02 +0100) CPU: Freescale i.MX6Q rev1.2 at 792 MHz Reset cause: POR Board: UDOO Quad DRAM: 1 GiB MMC: FSL_SDHC: 0 *** Warning - bad CRC, using default environment No panel detected: default to HDMI Display: HDMI (1024x768) In: serial Out: serial Err: serial Net: using phy at 6 FEC [PRIME] Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0 switch to partitions #0, OK mmc0 is current device AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 1 ports 3 Gbps 0x1 impl SATA mode flags: ncq stag pm led clo only pmp pio slum part SATA Device Info: S/N: 50026B72630E9F48 Product model number: KINGSTON SV300S37A60G Firmware version: 608ABBF0 Capacity: 117231408 sectors reading uEnv.txt 52 bytes read in 121 ms (0 Bytes/s) Running bootscript from mmc ...

I wonder if the boot image for UDOObuntu 2.0 (the one you can download from the page Boot from SATA) is good also for UDOObuntu 2.1. If not, where we can get it? Last words: UDOObuntu2.1 runs flawlessly with the bootable microSD card alone. Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Francesco, yes I'm trying to boot *without* HDMI cable connected. That's what I get. Btw, the boot process stop at the same step also with the HDMI cable connected.
Udoo finally boots from SATA after changing SD card (a few of...) I've noticed that it takes some seconds to prompt the console: Code: [ 3.468442] ERROR: v4l2 capture: slave not found!

Hi damoreluc, so you have just changed SD card in order to boot properly? A few seconds are necessary for the login console to appear. If you want to know what is blocking, you need some metering tool like bootchartd. Or if you try the Ubuntu 16.04 image you can use the builtin `systemd-analyze` tool to find the bad guy.
Yes, now I'm using a Class 4 SD card. It works fine. ok, I'll give a try to bootchartd. BTW, is Ubuntu 16.04 image still a release candidate?
The directions at http://www.udoo.org/docs/Hardware_&_Accessories/Boot_from_SATA.html, I think, are not correct for version 2.1. Could somebody try and give a more general description of what should be typed into /dev/sd??/etc/fstab? I still can't get my quad to boot from SATA.
Hi sirrab, this is my /etc/fstab, it works on my UDOO Quad: Code: /dev/sda2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0 /dev/sda1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime 0 0 Remember to edit your /etc/fstab file while your SATA disk is still connected to the machine you used to flash the UDOOBuntu 2.1 image. Delete any previous content in the /etc/fstab. Of course, be carefull to edit the /etc/fstab file on the disk you'll used on the UDOO, not the one on your computer. Have you flashed also the bootloader on the SD card? Let me know if this helps you.
Removing what was there might help. My SSD has 2 partitions, 1st is 34MB and not mountable, 2nd partition is udoobuntu and is ~2.8GB. 2nd partition has a Linux file system and typical folders.
Had a bad microSD card. Starts to boot, stops at ERROR: v4l2 capture: slave not found! What does this mean?
