| steev | c0rnelius: just had the wifi go away on the 1.4 device, oddly, there were no messages from the kernel at all, normally i'd expect to see at least, something | 10:43 |
|---|---|---|
| c0rnelius | steev: should have seen something spit out in dmesg. | 11:55 |
| steev | agreed, something should have, but there was nothing, was very weird | 12:20 |
| bart | Hello! I try to install Devuan to my Olimex A20 Board and get only errors with the actual Beowuls and Chiamera images. I tried now all sd-card images. The Beowulf images did not boot and the Chiamera images stops the installation with the rror "No kernel modules were found". Has anybody expirience with the Olimex A20 boards here? | 19:55 |
| gnarface | bibendum: i don't have experience with them but did you read the README? | 20:06 |
| bibendum | Thanks for reply! | 20:06 |
| bibendum | The README in the repository only have guides for zcat the images | 20:07 |
| bibendum | Or maybe i did not read everything | 20:07 |
| bibendum | Which README do you mean? | 20:07 |
| gnarface | arm-files.devuan.org/README.txt | 20:08 |
| gnarface | some of these boards need you to do two steps | 20:09 |
| bibendum | yes, this is the same as the readme i have. I used the netboot installation. I tried now all available firmware and partition versions, but without luck... | 20:13 |
| gnarface | i wonder if it's a board revision difference issue | 20:14 |
| gnarface | i see that it supports 4 different A20 boards but i don't know for sure that means it would work on any others, even if they were just slightly newer or older revisions of the same board (similar issues have been reported with beaglebone boards) | 20:16 |
| gnarface | it's possible you might have to build the kernel and modules manually | 20:16 |
| gnarface | possibly also u-boot | 20:16 |
| gnarface | stick around though, someone is sure to know | 20:17 |
| bibendum | I don't think so. I have similar problems with the Olimex A64 board. I make a mistake, but i did not realize where | 20:17 |
| gnarface | you made sure you uncompressed the image before you used it? | 20:19 |
| bibendum | Sure, if not the kernel would not booting | 20:19 |
| gnarface | yea, i guess not | 20:19 |
| bibendum | The kernel boots | 20:19 |
| gnarface | you actually copied over the right modules ? | 20:20 |
| bibendum | And with the A20 the installer starts | 20:20 |
| gnarface | hmmmm | 20:20 |
| bibendum | When i load the repository, the installer sends the error, that the loaded kernel is newer then the kernel in the repository | 20:21 |
| gnarface | odd | 20:21 |
| gnarface | might be a bug in the repository, but i didn't realize they had packaged kernels for all these yet | 20:22 |
| gnarface | i've still been building my own | 20:22 |
| bibendum | That was my fear :-D | 20:24 |
| gnarface | well stick around to talk to someone who actually can check on that for you | 20:24 |
| bibendum | Then i have first to read allot more and build it for myself | 20:24 |
| bibendum | Or maybe you have a suggestion for an open source board that works without trouble?! | 20:25 |
| gnarface | depends on what you call trouble really | 20:25 |
| gnarface | Broadcom the corporation as well as their raspberry pi community have both independently given me enough trouble that i'd never recommend any of their products whatsoever | 20:26 |
| bibendum | Raspi's are not open source and have something similar to ime ... ;-) | 20:27 |
| gnarface | the pine64 A64 boards will give you exactly the same amount of trouble, presumably, but at least then i could walk you through the builds | 20:27 |
| gnarface | because i've done this for A64 pinebooks and bare boards | 20:27 |
| gnarface | i might be able to use what i learned with the pine64 boards to help you build a olimex kernel and stuff, but it's no guarantee | 20:28 |
| bibendum | Ok, i'll have a look to that boards. But i think i'll try first to build it for myself and maybe i can give then some instructions back ... | 20:28 |
| bibendum | Thank you very much for your help! | 20:28 |
| gnarface | no problem... but if you can talk to a dev who actually has one of these boards on hand they might be able to shorten the path to a solution for you | 20:29 |
| gnarface | especially if the real issue is just a bug in the repo or the installer's representation of the kernel version string | 20:29 |
| gnarface | (it's just a dumb >< string check basically, so if they change the versioning format too much it can be wrong about what is actually "newer") | 20:30 |
| bibendum | I'll try to post it in the forum. Maybe somebody has experience with the board | 20:30 |
| gnarface | yea, worth looking there | 20:30 |
| gnarface | parazyd: you don't happen to know anything about this Olimex A20 issue do you? | 20:32 |
