. Someone on the forum suggested that you need a kernel with CONFIG_MMC_UNSAFE_RESUME
set to prevent this from happening. This solution did not work for some people, while using XFS instead of ext2 for /home
worked just fine.snd_hda_intel
will not work. Also amazingly annoying if put to use.zramswap

. The ordinary and recommended method for mounting disk at boot time is through /etc/fstab
, but as this appears to lead to problems with the SD card reader in the AAO, a second method is listed below to try in case of errors./etc/fstab
as defined in Mounting Options. Do not forget to change the folder which it is to be mounted on, it should be /home
./home
folder you need to save a backup in order to upon mounting the SD expansion you have the same files as before so you can try this:/home
first!/home
first. Always think twice before pressing return after rm
./home
on your SD card through fstab occasionally appears to lead to a problem described in this forum thread, where the SD card gives a 'FILESYSTEM CHECK FAILED' error during init on alternating boot-ups. This appears to have to do with the slower nature of SD-cards, and the system trying to mount the card before it is fully initialised./etc/rc.local
, and removing the entry of your SD card from /etc/fstab
