Latest netinstall kernel fail to load on beaglebaord

[pedjaman]

Latest netinstall script used. beaglebaord oneiric Boot started normally and at some point of boot process kernel hangs with message like this: pvrsc: 1280x720p@16

Any idea why?

Hi Pedjaman,

I've never seen that error before, google isn't showing too many hints.. Any chance is the error happening consistency enough that you can start a serial log? (it should dump the kernel hang over the serial port..)

Regards,

[pedjaman]

This error is consisted, however, i need to hack your script to redirect it to ttyO2 as it doesn't do that by default. Will taht help?

It should be doing that by default thou... Take a look in your uEnv.txt..

In the 2nd to the last line it should be: mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=${console} ${optargs}

Where console = console=ttyO2,115200n8 and optargs=console=tty0

which give you login access via serial and dvi, and should dump the kernel errors to both..

Nope, new script (script in that version) is totally diffferent. It ahs only: console=tty0 I was confused why is that

I see now that aprt of debug is cut off here. But any update on the issue?

[RobertCNelson]

Hi Pedjaman,

well everything looks normal, i don't see your original error: "pvrsc: 1280x720p@16" in the log, is this only happening on the screen or what? Or it happening when switching to the frame buffer?

Regards,

[pedjaman]

It is on debug console, RS232 connection... and it dies there.

But the LCD/DVI screen is fine right?

With the Debian NeInstall, During the INSTALL, it's an either/or setup not both.. Install via DVI (default) or over serial (with --serial-mode switch).. After the NetInstall is finished, both serial and dvi console can be enabled..

You can enable both the serial console and dvi at boot, but weird/random things do occur.. Like typing in serial make the dvi move, or was it usb keyboard makes the serial console move, don't remember exactly..

Ah so the monitor doesn't work...

Umm, first thing to try: bump down the resolution: (1024x768 800x640)

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall/blob/master/mk_mmc.sh#L1190

Did it work before on another monitor? What is it's serial/model number?

Regards,

[pedjaman]

Looks like you don't get it :) Earlier versions of net install oneiric worked like a charm, same monitor same conditions, same isntall procedure. In latest version of netinstall uEnv.txt is changed (i uploaded how it looks like). So, after trying to boot and continue installation, i see kernel messages on serial terminal and DVI monitor is turned on (yellow screen then booting kernel) After approx 5 sec of boot procedure, messages stop on serial port and monitor report "No signal".

Last message is always: [ 5.952392] fbcvt: 1280x720@60: CVT Name - .921M9-R I apologize for mistyping message in first post

I hope it is more clear now

Hi Pedjaman,

I just commited a patch so you shouldn't have to patch the uEnv.txt anymore..

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/netinstall/commit/c6bbe51e8761b09bbdea9af9e88f908c21cf9f74

Actually that last message isn't an error, it's just selecting the correct mode.. Mine does that too..

Can you please retest with the lastest commit. If that doesn't work, we may have to test 3-4 different kernels to find which one broke your monitor.. (the kernel deb this script selects is kinda of a rolling release..)

Regards,

[pedjaman]

Same issue. I believe x3 version of kernel worked. I'm not sure what changed in meanwhile.

Also, uEnv.txt is NOT patched :) Take a look:

bootfile=uImage.net bootinitrd=uInitrd.net address_uimage=0x80300000 address_uinitrd=0x81600000

console=tty0

defaultdisplay=dvi dvimode=1280x720MR-16@60

mmcroot=/dev/ram0 rw

mmc_load_uinitrd=fatload mmc 0:1 ${address_uinitrd} ${bootinitrd} mmc_load_uimage=fatload mmc 0:1 ${address_uimage} ${bootfile}

mmcargs=setenv bootargs console=${console} mpurate=${mpurate} buddy=${buddy} buddy2=${buddy2} camera=${camera} vram=${vram} omapfb.mode=${defaultdisplay}:${dvimode} omapdss.def_disp=${defaultdisplay} root=${mmcroot}

loaduimage=printenv; run mmc_load_uimage; run mmc_load_uinitrd; echo Booting from mmc ...; run mmcargs; bootm ${address_uimage} ${address_uinitrd}

[RobertCNelson]

Actually, there's two uEnv.txt's..

The initial uEnv.txt is for the initial NetInstall, at the end of the install before reboot, uEnv.txt get's deleted and normal.txt get's renamed as uEnv.txt.. (so your current uEnv.txt is perfect for dvi net install)

Ouch, x3 is back with 3.1.0, so lots of stable changes..

First to test would be 3.1.0-x3 then..

the Netinstall has a --deb-file option so first download the image:

wget http://rcn-ee.net/deb/oneiric/v3.1.0-x3/linux-image-3.1.0-x3_1.0oneiric_armel.deb

then add --deb-file /location/of/download/file/linux-image-3.1.0-x3_1.0oneiric_armel.deb

Full regression list: http://rcn-ee.net/deb/oneiric/v3.1.0-x3/linux-image-3.1.0-x3_1.0oneiric_armel.deb http://rcn-ee.net/deb/oneiric/v3.1.1-x3/linux-image-3.1.1-x3_1.0oneiric_armel.deb http://rcn-ee.net/deb/oneiric-armel/v3.1.3-x4/linux-image-3.1.3-x4_1.0oneiric_armel.deb http://rcn-ee.net/deb/oneiric-armel/v3.1.4-x5/linux-image-3.1.4-x5_1.0oneiric_armel.deb (reboot broken) http://rcn-ee.net/deb/oneiric-armel/v3.1.4-x6/linux-image-3.1.4-x6_1.0oneiric_armel.deb (current stable)

(the oneiric -> oneiric-armel change has to do with i'm now pushing armhf and armel versions in some distro's)

[pedjaman]

Strange, the problem is still there with x3. Is it maybe something in script changed or u-boot problem? netinstall worked for me always and just stopped working. I changed nothing in hardware and installation procedure.

[RobertCNelson]

Success..

But i now see the problem..

NO c4 has: "DRAM: 1 GiB"

Mainline u-boot is mis-detecting the amount of SDRAM on the beagle c4. .(it does this via id).. Reverting to a previous version (detects it as 256Mb) fixes the issue.. the reason it froze at that spot, it was also trying to allocate the framebuffer to memory (which happens to be above the 256Mb), crash...

to fix, first use "flash-omap" to resinstall the older MLO/u-boot.bin to the nand of the c4:

https://github.com/RobertCNelson/flash-omap cd flash-omap sudo ./mk_mmc.sh --mmc /dev/sdX --uboot beagle_cx

Then rerun the "netinstall" it'll pull in the "fixed" MLO/u-boot.bin

Sorry this took so long, just by chance today i glanced at the "1GB" in the log, and started wondering wtf.. ;)
