Pandaboard A6 hangs on netinstall

[xcaixal]

Hi:

Pandaboard A6 hangs on netinstall. This is the last part:

6.987091] hidraw: raw HID events driver (C) Jiri Kosina [ 6.993743] usbcore: registered new interface driver usbhid [ 6.999572] usbhid: USB HID core driver [ 7.004333] ashmem: initialized

Nothing else. I tried omap4-panda-a4 and omap4-panda-es, and the result is the same. The board runs perfect with an old ubuntu 12.04 (kernel 3.2.0-1412-omap4) and updated to kernel 3.2.23. I had to use for that the latest u-boot (2014.10).

I remember to try the manual installation, and I think it freezed just when Starting Kernel... But that is another story.

Can you hint anything? Many thanks for your help xavier

Well, an "A6" falls under the "omap4-panda-a4"..

Works just fine on my A1:

Feel free to return to ubuntu's 3.2.0 based kernel, that was 'forked' by ubuntu/ti long ago, many features of that kernel never made it mainline before TI fired the omap group. Regards,

Robert

many thanks for your help.

Just for your info, I have been able to compile & install a 3.2.64 kernel on Pandaboard A6, and also a Fedora 20 (kernel 3.11). But sure you are right, active support for any device is essential. A pity for OMAP series.

Very likely I will be moving to Wandboard or similar.

Many thanks regards xavier
