how to set kernel parameter 'fsck.mode=force'

[marcelser]

PS: Why is it so complicated on the PineA64 when on Raspberry I can just modify cmdline.txt and I'm done?

Because it's not the Raspberry Pi!  

I'm pretty sure what you're after is '/boot/efi/extlinux/extlinux.conf' where you'll see the list of parameters that are passed to the kernel.

If you can force a fsck may be a different thing... let us know how you go!  

(btw, initrd and the kernel stuff shouldn't be that much different to a normal PC, etc... it's the SPL and uboot that is different... and building and making changes there really is rocket science   )

Thanks for trying to help, but there's no such thing as an 'efi' directory in boot partition, here's what "ls -l" actually shows:

Code:

Any ideas?

I finally did it. It was in the end uEnv.txt (but you have to add it to the first line not as separate line) but in the end in syslog it seems it did not repair it, what I see is this:
