v0.11-rc5 - won't restart after copy-blockchain-from-peer

[david-bakin]

On a new Pi5 4GB w/ Pimoroni NVMe BASE w/ 2GB NVMe - finally was able to do the 'blitz setup (I had various issues before, solved by moving to rc5 and using Windows diskpart to clear the NVMe partitions). Did the copy-blockchain-from-peer-node procedure (took about 5hrs, not bad) - hit enter to restart - and it never properly restared.

It would boot - I would see that on an attached HDMI monitor - then spew would stop scrolling as usual - green light would flash for awhile - then it would (apparently) crash and red power light would appear. Restarting did nothing. During the time the green light was flashing I couldn't ping the box, and obviously couldn't ssh into it.

I did do the following: Immediately after the blockchain copy but before hitting enter on the script I logging in via another ssh session and used nano to create a wifi file in the proper place on the boot partition. I didn't know if this would work after the initial setup but I tried it. I did see "wpa-supplicant" or (something similar) service start in the console spew, but nothing else there that indicated wifi was actually working. (The block copy and previous ssh sessions were all done with a wired connection of course.)

I'd like to post logs - in fact I'd like to look at the logs myself but:
a) don't know which logs to look at, and
b) don't know if I can - can I look at them from a Windows system? Or maybe from a Chromebook (with the Linux subsystem running)? Or a Macbook?

(BTW, my wifi SSID has spaces in it - my car, a Honda Accord, has problems with that: it won't connect to my wifi. I assume the wifi script is ok with it though?)

I tested blockchain copy with latest release candidate for v1.11.0 and that worked fine - booting was OK after copy. So your error semes something individual.

Use command debug for a log overview report. And see cat /home/admin/raspiblitz.log for latest bootup info.
