SG-1100 "No valid tree blob found!" after power cut.

Hi all,

My SG-1100 lost power yesterday and is now failing to boot.

This is the final output of the console, which doesn't look good.

Loading kernel...
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0xc03d54 data=0x12e8218 data=0x0+0x2d56fe syms=[0x8+0x17b098+0x8+0x14275a]
Loading configured modules...
can't find '/boot/entropy'
can't find '/etc/hostid'
No valid device tree blob found!
WARNING! Trying to fire up the kernel, but no device tree blob found!

The configuration on the device isn't that important, so if the recovery will wipe it, that's not an issue.

Any ideas on how I can get myself out of this hole?

Thanks in advance!

Boot into single user mode, and

Check out the file system check video.

That did it!

I had issues entering text via the console at first, but I moved the USB cable to another port on my PC and it worked fine.

Ran this three times and then rebooted. IT'S ALIVE!

Filesystem check:

fsck -y /

Reboot:

/sbin/reboot

Thanks again!
