Hey guys,

I have Asrock H110 BTC+ motherboards with Sandisk USB3 flash drives for SmOS. Lately I am getting a strange intermittent error the OS stops booting. Here is a short description of it:
....
usb usb2-port1: cannot enable. Maybe the USB cable is bad
usb usb2-port1: unable to enumerate USB device
usb usb2-port1: cannot disable (err = -32)
Gave up waiting for root device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Check root= (did the system wait for the right device?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! UUID= does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
...
(initramfs)

It seems to me USB module issue or kernel bug. I have switched to SSD via SATA and did not have the issue yet. Did any of you guys had the same issue? Fix?

I have multiple rigs out there still booting from USB thumb drive and would like to find the culprit and solution. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

Had same exact issue. Just take the thumb drive and put it in a normal computer. Fix any errors on it and then reburn the image onto it again. Put your email in the text file. Put drive back and restart everything. Fixed it for me

I have burned the first image with HDD Guru (Raw Image Copy) tool. This time I have tried with etcher.io flashing tool as it has been suggested on the simplemining.net . I will see what is going on soon. I have a brand new Patriot blitz USB flash drive also got Samsung one. Will try both. Hope it will work this time.

Thank you!
