Re: ascii installer-ARM64 question

My answer was was not related to the power-supply-USB-problem; it was for seeing whats inside '/proc/config.gz' !

Hello:

Yes, I know.

What I meant to say was that what I thought was an issue ie: usb-storage.ko not being present was not the problem as it was part of the kernel.
The problem actually being a power supply one.

Thanks for your input.

Cheers,

A.

Re: ascii installer-ARM64 question

Hello:

If you find a very low power harddrive ...

I came across a drive made an PATA model by Transcend.
Could be used with any old USB to 2.5" IDE adaptor.

The specs are these:

2.5" PATA SSD
TS32GPSD330
---
Capacities vary from 32Gb to 128Gb
---
DC +5V  0.3A      <-------- This

I don't know if their SATA SSD drives have the same power spec.
