| AnimaInvicta | When I try to boot my BeagleBone Black using the files DLed from https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/chimaera/main/installer-armhf/20210731%2Bdeb11u1%2Bdevuan1/images/netboot/SD-card-images/, the boot process fails before hitting PID1. | 20:46 |
|---|---|---|
| AnimaInvicta | Boot log at https://termbin.com/hwex | 20:47 |
| AnimaInvicta | Any help would be appreciated. | 20:47 |
| gnarface | there's like 3 BBB revisions and those builds afaik have only been ever successfully tested on one of them | 21:05 |
| gnarface | (last i heard anyway) | 21:05 |
| gnarface | i dunno if there's a known fix | 21:05 |
| gnarface | maybe a fresh build could do it, not sure | 21:06 |
| gnarface | your url looks weird though... | 21:06 |
| gnarface | could you try this ascii one just as a test? https://files.devuan.org/devuan_ascii/embedded/ | 21:08 |
| gnarface | if that works maybe you can just upgradse it to beowulf then chimaera manually | 21:08 |
| gnarface | that thing you used, i'm not even sure that's a official release, that may be some alpha test build or something | 21:09 |
| AnimaInvicta | OK, I'll try the ascii one. Back in a bit. | 21:10 |
| AnimaInvicta | Well, this is odd: https://termbin.com/czz5 | 21:18 |
| AnimaInvicta | Thos last lines repeat in an endless loop. | 21:19 |
| gnarface | that's the ascii one? | 21:22 |
| AnimaInvicta | In theory, but the identical u-boot version is strange. | 21:23 |
| gnarface | eh, different build of the same version perhaps | 21:24 |
| gnarface | i'm not sure we have a working image for the revision of BBB you have | 21:24 |
| AnimaInvicta | Oh, wait. I rebooted again without pressing any buttons and it seems to have worked this time. | 21:25 |
| gnarface | oh, good | 21:25 |
| gnarface | that's promising | 21:25 |
| AnimaInvicta | So, IIUC, this is the same as the image I used to have, with eventually corrupted the µSD card (to many writes to the boot partition) | 21:27 |
| AnimaInvicta | s/with/which/ | 21:27 |
| AnimaInvicta | also s/to many/too many/ | 21:28 |
| gnarface | hmmm | 21:28 |
| gnarface | you sure it was about too many writes and not about some e2fstools bug? | 21:28 |
| gnarface | er, e2fsprogs i mean.... there was some bug with going from older versions of the e2fsprogs to new kernels that corrupted ext4 | 21:29 |
| AnimaInvicta | Not sure, no. Only that when I imaged the card to rescue what I could, the boot partition was a right mess. | 21:29 |
| gnarface | the ascii image might be old enough to suffer from that | 21:29 |
| gnarface | perhaps you could try using the ascii image to build a new chimaera image to bypass the problem | 21:30 |
| AnimaInvicta | Sounds fun, but I've never done that before. Is there a guide or something (preferably simpler than LFS or Gentoo)? | 21:30 |
| gnarface | good question... i know there's build scripts on the gitlab or whatever they're using now | 21:32 |
| gnarface | someone else here would know better | 21:32 |
| gnarface | https://git.devuan.org/ | 21:32 |
| gnarface | it's not gitlab anymore but they should be in there somewhere i think | 21:32 |
| AnimaInvicta | I'll have a look there, then. | 21:33 |
| gnarface | parazyd: is there a howto for building these arm images up anywhere? | 21:34 |
| gnarface | AnimaInvicta: how did you find this other link, the pkgmaster one? did a forum entry or something direct you to there? | 21:36 |
| AnimaInvicta | gnarface: https://www.devuan.org/ -> Download link -> link provided under "Installation Media for amd64, arm64, armel, armhf, i386 and ppc64el" then walking the filetree | 21:38 |
| gnarface | ah, i see | 21:39 |
| gnarface | i wonder why these aren't on arm-files.devuan.org | 21:40 |
| gnarface | ...suggests to me they're part of a larger automated build process and haven't been tested | 21:40 |
| AnimaInvicta | I'm willing to volunteer for testing images on my BBB, if that will help. | 21:43 |
| gnarface | https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dists/chimaera/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/README.concatenateable_images | 21:43 |
| gnarface | you followed this readme? | 21:43 |
| AnimaInvicta | I did. | 21:43 |
| gnarface | yea, if the ascii one works but this one doesn't then your guess is as good as mine as to what's wrong | 21:44 |
| AnimaInvicta | gnarface: Thank-you for your time, then. And the journey continues, I suppose... | 21:50 |
| gnarface | AnimaInvicta: good luck, lemme know if you get it working | 21:56 |
| gnarface | also, i recommend you hang out in this channel for a while because someone who knows more might come back later and read this | 21:56 |
| AnimaInvicta | I'll hang out a bit more, but it's getting late in my timezone. | 21:58 |
| gnarface | well, i kinda meant just leave it on, if that's possible | 22:24 |
| gnarface | it's not unusual for people to be in vastly different timezones, or just nocturnal | 22:25 |
