Did a reflash using your method and that worked for the modules, but the hotspot is still not working.
Says it is “active (exited)” although I just turned it o n and it’s not showing in the lists of available networks on my Mac or ipad. …An older install on another pisound does show up as Patchbox as expected. I tried a few different channels but nothing seems to work.
It might work. There was also some bootloader / RPi firmware changes in some revision of Raspberry Pi that seems to make it unable to boot from OS images built before some date. It doesn’t take much to give it at try though.
