Hampi V3.3 32 bit will not run #224
Comments
|
There is a problem with the partition for the rootfs filesystem on the V3.3 image. The filesystem is around 19 GB, but the partition has been set to 120 GB (111.54 GiB). Thus: There is a fuller description and discussion of this in a short report, which is available at https://groups.io/g/linuxham/files/Note%20on%20HamPi%20V3.3.pdf if you have access to the groups.io linuxham group. A copy has also been sent directly to Dave Slotter. |

Hi All, I fixed the problem on my raspberry pi 4b 8gb Hampi 3.3 using
gparted with the help of Robin G8DQX see below copy of email below hope
it helps cheers Harry VK2DWT
Hello Robin, Well i am using ubuntu 23.04 and my hp laptop has a
card reader so placed the 64gb sd in and ran gparted amazing how the
rootfs was 111 gb anyway took a little bit of head scratching as I
have only looked at it once before, so finally figured out how to
apply your suggestions resized and now runs 100% fine thanks so much
i learnt a bit with your help and others too, be interesting to see
what else you came up with wen you get the time thanks again all

Harry,
I've done some digging, in amongst various other duties. The
long & the short of it is:
1. You can successfully install HamPI V3.3 to a 128 GB
medium (medium = microSD card or USB flash storage device)
2. Installation to a 32 GB or 64 GB medium requires a *hack*
to make it work
3. That hack works on a Linux box, such as your Raspberry
Pi, if one has a *USB card reader*
a) boot up the Pi with standard Pi OS (minimal desktop)
(16 GB is more than enough medium)
b) install *GParted*
c) connect the USB card reader, and insert the HamPi
card in it
d) bring up GParted
e) every time it complains about excess size, click the
*Ignore* box. [Do *not* select cancel!] This will happen
quite frequently at various later stages of this procedure
f) select the HamPi medium (*probably /dev/sdb*), locate
the *rootfs* partition. Note that the size of the
partition is somewhat greater than the size of the
medium in use. This is not good, and is the direct
source of the failure to boot
g) make sure that the partition is not shown as mounted.
Then *shrink* the rootfs partition to the smallest size
(that smallest size will be indicated in the dialog box)
h) and now *expand *the rootfs partition to the largest
size (GParted will set that largest size to that which
the card correctly allows)
i) one should now, with a following wind, have a
bootable HamPi medium, using all available storage!
There is more, which I hope to put out on Saturday (my time, not
yours, and no guarantees.)
73, Stay Safe,
Robin, G8DQX

Thank you Harry-1167 for supplying the solution to this frustrating problem. I am surprised, however, that this problem has not been addressed yet or not even flagged on the download page - I can't imagine that many people have used 128GB SD cards! |

Hi, I have downloaded the image twice and installed on 64gb sd card 3 times all was successful but the program will not run it shows some errors which i can't remember at moment but will open up terminal mode which functions.
question is what am i doing wrong all other versions worked ok
I also found a short V3.3 program that looks like a checksum how does it work.
cheers Harry
