I have a working environment with four rpi4 with no issues using recent versions of sidero and talos
@linuxmaniac can you share your kind: Environment
for the raspi4? I found absolutely no docu or guides about Environments.
This is what I am using for now, trying to get a PI PXE booted etc:
apiVersion: metal.sidero.dev/v1alpha2
kind: Environment

spec:
initrd:

Environment- talos.board=rpi_generic
amd64
to arm64
@xUnholy I assume your issue is kexec_core
being stuck, caused by the missing talos.board=rpi_generic
, which will lead to another very important flag, set here: https://github.com/siderolabs/talos/blob/cc0c3ab69c7807236955eb53ccac4cc70fcca32a/internal/app/machined/pkg/runtime/v1alpha1/board/rpi_generic/rpi_generic.go#L51
I guess this is not supported by Raspberries: https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues/27

Amazing, thanks! But how does it work without talos.board=rpi_generic
?
EDIT: found it, you sneaky 😆 https://github.com/linuxmaniac/home-ops/blob/main/infrastructure/sidero-system/server-class/rpi4-server.yaml#L24
Hmm, it looks like the environment settings will not change what happens after the installation, as can be seen in this picture. The kernel parameter sysctl.kernel.kexec_load_disabled=1
is set, but it still does a kexec reboot
I'm trying to run the following versions and having zero success (previously worked on older version)
Clustetctl - v1.1.3 Talosctl - v1.x.x Talos - v1.0.5
Sidero is able to PXE boot the device however the device is hanging as mentioned here in this Slack thread https://taloscommunity.slack.com/archives/CMARMBC4E/p1653993378651399
