| folderol | Hi. I've just downloaded the beowulf_3.1.0_arm64_rpi4 image. It seems to have installed correctly but I don't know the username and password to use | 11:49 |
|---|---|---|
| folderol | Also I'm a bit puzzled that it says BCM 2711 login: I've not seen that on any other Pi images. | 12:37 |
| c0rnelius | folderol: should be username: pi and passwd: board | 14:29 |
| folderol | Thanks a lot - working fine now. I tried all sorts of combinations but didn't think of that one! | 15:39 |
| Latrina | I tried to install devuan on a rpi4b but I get a PCI reset error upon initializing the kernel | 21:26 |
| Latrina | I had never seen that error before. I wonder if anyone has had any success in running devuan on a RPI4b. Thanks | 21:26 |
| Tenkawa | sure plenty.. which image are you trying to use and are you installing to microsd or usb? | 21:28 |
| c0rnelius | Latrina: Where did you get the img? | 21:46 |
| Latrina | c0rnelius, from the devuan website | 21:47 |
| Latrina | image is devuan_beowulf_3.1.0_arm64_rpi4.img | 21:47 |
| c0rnelius | You flashing it to sd or usb? | 21:48 |
| Latrina | yes sd | 21:49 |
| Latrina | I dd to it | 21:49 |
| c0rnelius | You using a proper PSU? As in not a phone charger. | 21:50 |
| c0rnelius | The imgs were generated using this: https://github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-builder You can also find my personal imgs here - https://github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-builder/releases/tag/images | 21:51 |
| c0rnelius | They should be roughly the same though? I don't believe they made any changes to them besides using a preset username and passwd. | 21:52 |
| Latrina | c0rnelius, I was using my dell xps charger. I never had issues powering the rpis with it though | 21:52 |
| Latrina | I can try the original rpi 4 psu | 21:53 |
| c0rnelius | Latrina: Most boot fails are either garbage sdcards and PSU's. This is why I asked. | 21:53 |
| Tenkawa | you should "never" use a charger on a pi | 21:53 |
| Latrina | sd card is fine too. | 21:53 |
| Latrina | Tenkawa, only reason why I was using it is because it is what I had near my desk. Now they are both running on default PSU | 21:54 |
| Latrina | *original | 21:54 |
| Tenkawa | ok good.. getting you the link so you'll have the info why | 21:55 |
| Latrina | thanks :) | 21:57 |
| Latrina | Also, do I need to modify the initramfs for PXE boot? | 21:57 |
| Tenkawa | having a hard time with my google matrix today… the force is not with me… but what it boils down to is that chargers don't provide consistent voltage and current so they can spike potentially causing microsd corruption or worse (in rare cases) hardware damage | 22:02 |
| Tenkawa | power supplies are regulated power | 22:03 |
| Latrina | Tenkawa, I will try using the PSU and let you know | 22:04 |
| Latrina | frankly I hadn't thought about it | 22:04 |
| Latrina | but yours is a good point | 22:04 |
| Tenkawa | c0rnelius: have you tried pxe boot at all? I know I havent | 22:05 |
| c0rnelius | no | 22:05 |
| Latrina | I will report back | 22:05 |
| Latrina | it doesn't use any bootloader doesn't it? | 22:06 |
| Tenkawa | c0rnelius: btw they are increasing the gpu max allocation again | 22:06 |
| Tenkawa | Latrina: i don't think so… clever in #raspberrypi might know | 22:06 |
| Tenkawa | Support 256MB gpu_mem | 22:09 |
| Tenkawa | not bad | 22:09 |
| c0rnelius | I thought it already could? | 22:09 |
| Tenkawa | on a 8gb unit thats nothing | 22:10 |
| c0rnelius | Just need 128 for the cam to work I thought. But you can increase it if you want. | 22:10 |
| Tenkawa | hmm.. let me look | 22:10 |
| Tenkawa | ahh you couldnt build ramdisks ie boot.img with it | 22:11 |
| Tenkawa | Tweak the address map so that boot ramdisks (e.g. rpiboot -d imager) | 22:12 |
| Tenkawa | work with large amounts of GPU memory. | 22:12 |
| Tenkawa | sounds more helpful for cm4 | 22:13 |
| Tenkawa | not for me though since as you know mine is headless | 22:14 |
| Tenkawa | uggh clouds missing us like by 10 miles | 22:15 |
