Cannot build / compile Debian Bookworm #2

Closed luckylinux closed 1 year ago

luckylinux commented 1 year ago

I successfully managed to build Debian Bookworm & Debian Kernel, as well as DTB and U-Boot.

I had to change the scripts to use gcc-12, as I was using the Rock 5B itself from Radxa Image (upgraded to Debian Bookworm) to do the build. I also updated linux-firmware version and tried latest kernel 6.6-rc7 as well as 6.5.9, a bit more recent than what the script originally downloads.

Maybe you could do a version bump :+1: .

The problem is that while there are no errors reported during the build process and the IMG file is correctly generated & written to the SD card, it just does NOT boot ! The blue/green LED alternated blinking, typical of a normal boot, does not happen. Instead, only the green LED stays permanently lit.

Do you have an idea of what might be causing this ?

Possibly the script is not taking the required DTB files & copying them to the boot partition ?

Just tried your Debian Bookworm image. It also does NOT boot.

I tried your latest Debian Trixie image and that booted without issues.

If so, is Debian Bookworm known to NOT work correctly ?

I have published a bookworm release based on the latest 6.6 kernel: https://github.com/inindev/rock-5b/releases/tag/v12-6.6

$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)"
NAME="Debian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="12"
VERSION="12 (bookworm)"
VERSION_CODENAME=bookworm
ID=debian
HOME_URL="https://www.debian.org/"
SUPPORT_URL="https://www.debian.org/support"
BUG_REPORT_URL="https://bugs.debian.org/"

$ uname -a
Linux rock5b-arm64 6.6.0-1-arm64 #1 SMP PREEMPT Debian 6.6.0-1 (2023-10-30) aarch64 GNU/Linux

Are you sure you used xzcat to write it to sd?

sudo su
xzcat rock-5b_bookworm-v12-6.6.img.xz > /dev/sdX
sync

I am pretty sure I used xzcat, same as for Debian Trixie.

Did you include the Docker/Podman options that I mentioned in the kernel .Config?

Could you also upload the Kernel images + headers + libc ? I cannot really re-install everything from scratch. I also had to spend a few days configuring Podman and cannot exactly remember all the little things I had to tweak :(.

I only responded to the issue you opened here. Can you open a new issue with a title like: "feature request: support xyz" then provide information on why its useful and where I can learn more about it? I want to make it easy for anyone who searches for a result can find it.

Sure. I guess we should have "split" a while ago the topics. I just mentioned it here since Docker was also mentioned in the first post. But there are a lot of inputs in this discussion already ...

Never mind. I'll try to create another topic. But I guess if I can't get Podman/Docker to work on this damn ARM SBC I'll just have to stick with some Standard AMD64 Hardware (possibly in a VM). These SBC have 1000 issues all the time unfortunately :(. Tried many ARM SBC over the years and whether it's Mainline Support, Lack of Documentation, lack of Software Support, etc, there is always something unfortunately.
