Would like to get some thoughts on this. I am trying to install an SSD into my motherboard. It shows up just fine in the BIOS. However, in my OS (Openmediavault 8, Debian 13) it does not show up as an option. I also tried booting into Rescuezilla (Ubuntu 24) and it also does not show up either.

I've checked my BIOS settings and there does not seem to be anything that looks off. The OS drive is currently a Samsung SSD which functions just fine. I also tested to make sure it wasn't the M2 slot that's defective. The SSD also works fine in an external USB enclosure.

Any thoughts? The hardware I'm running is:

SSD: 128GB Union Memory 128GB PCIe gen3 NVME SSD (p/n: SSS0L25188)

Motherboard: BKHD-1264-NAS25030388 (N150 chipset)

Forgive me as I'm a newbie to Linux.

I am running OpenMediaVault 8 (Debian 13) and I am trying to migrate it from the existing 256GB SSD OS drive to a smaller 128GB SSD.

I only have one M2 to USB dock, so I used DiskGenius (on my Windows machine) to "backup disk to image file" from the 256GB SSD. Then I used the "restore image file to disk" to the new 128GB SSD. Everything seemed to work properly and it automatically resized the partition, except on boot it gives me the error (for each HDD I have installed):

error: disk 'hd4,gpt2' not found

AI is saying I need to repair the bootloader by booting into a recovery environment? I'm not that comfortable with command line stuff, so wondering if someone could explain if this is the case and point me in the right direction.

Alternatively (ideally), is there a better way to clone the drive in a manner where it's immediately bootable without having to do any further config?

Thanks!

I just got a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Ultra Aura Edition with a Intel BE211 wifi chip. I've noticed occasionally, the wifi (5Ghz) will hang. This does not happen with any other device on my network.

I have tried the following:

Host side (router) side: switching between 5GHz high and low, toggling between 20/40/80Mhz channel bandwidths.

Laptop side: disabling network adapter power savings, toggling between auto/fixed 20Mhz channel bandwidths.

Still no luck. Any thoughts?

I have a bunch of cheap Zigbee sensors (the sort of generic stuff you find on Aliexpress and Amazon) such as motion and water detection. They work great, my only complaint is that I'm using Ni-Mh cells which have a lower voltage than alkaline and so they don't seem to report the correct level. The level reports lower than actual. This doesn't bug me that much, but the problem is when I charge the battery and put it back in, the device still shows the old battery level and doesn't go back up to 100%. Reconfiguring the device doesn't seem to work, only an actual removal of the device within ZHA and reinstall.

Any thoughts?

It's been a while since I had a new vehicle, so I am new to this whole bi-directional manufacturer specific OBD thing when it comes to DIY maintenance. I have a 2024 Mitsubishi Outlander gas and am wondering if you guys have recommendations for a bi-directional scanner that would allow near dealer level MUT III functionality. Ideally as cost effective as possible. Lifetime updates would be nice, and also as good of a universal functionality as possible for servicing other vehicles.

Example of the sort of DIY work that would require a scanner:

1. Servicing the rear parking brakes

2. Re-learning the battery after replacing it

3. Resetting the CVT and AWD coupling after changing the fluid. It is my understanding that these systems may monitor fluid degradation so it is necessary to reset some sort of counter when filling with new fluid.

Love to hear some thoughts?
