Only cold boot is working in Pogoplug V3 (OXNAS OX820) (4 replies)

Hi!

I have a Pogoplug V3 configured with the latest U-Boot 2015.10-tld-2 that refuses to boot when a "reboot" or "shutdown -rf now" command are issued. It does, however, boot perfectly fine when powered up for the first time. I am using a 2.5" HDD connected through a USB adapter.

A failed boot looks like this in netconsole:

A good (cold) boot looks like this instead:

Any ideas about what could be modified so that it could reboot successfully without powering of first? Thanks!
