Re: Just got a Pi1B. What can you actually do with it these days?

While I'm sure that's sometimes the case, I don't think that's what's
happening here.  The SD card itself is fine - no read/write errors, no long
pauses - but the filesystem is broken.  Which is to be expected if it wasn't
properly unmounted, but for some reason the automatic fsck-and-reboot
mechanism in PiOS doesn't seem to work.  I end up having to pull the SD,
plug it into another machine, fsck it (both the FAT and the ext4), put it
back into the Pi and then it boots.
 If I don't do that and I have video attached to the Pi (ie I have already
pulled the machine to connect to a monitor) the boot stalls somewhere but
without a clear log as to why.
 I also have this with a USB SSD, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
(although that one runs Ubuntu, maybe it's not so good at fsck-and-reboot?)
