CentOS for Pine64 - blank screen #21

Closed tcreek closed 6 years ago

tcreek commented 7 years ago

Following the guide at:

https://github.com/umiddelb/z2d/tree/master/pine64

I get no error for installing the image to SD card, but on boot I only a black screen.

umiddelb commented 7 years ago

Do you have access to the Pine's serial console? Usually I don't pay much attention to HDMI output, it might be disabled in this kernel version.

tcreek commented 7 years ago

Yes, I have access and see it has booted. It seems there is no output to the screen via HDMI. PS: What are the login credentials?

tcreek commented 7 years ago

Just to let you know, I ended up having to change the root password via chroot since none of the listed credentials are correct.

In addition, the image is very buggy on a Pine64. I will just wait until a dedicated image is created for it.

To which list do you refer to? You will be asked for new passwords for the root user and the centos user during setup.

In addition, the image is very buggy on a Pine64.

Please elaborate.

This is very unlikely to happen, since the Pine64 doesn't meet SBSA requirements (like many other boards).

On your project page you have nothing listed. On the Pine64 it is listed, but incorrect, and on the the original project of the creator, it is listed, but also incorrect. I also tried that root/centos and it fails

Buggy, as it seems to be very sluggish, and many applications do not function correctly. For example, wget executes, but never obtains the target file, it just hangs.

Could you provide links, please?

Some Pine64 boards have been shipped with a broken Ethernet adapter. There are some tweaks/workarounds for the BSP kernel but they cannot be applied to the mainline kernel. You may try to use a USB-Ethernet adapter on the lower USB receptacle instead.

Here is the only link I have found which supplies any sort of credentials (and incorrect)

https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1691&highlight=CentOS

And in my case there is nothing wrong the the Ethernet port. I have tried other images with better performance, and wget functions fine..

With that, we are still left with the original issue also.

The credentials mentioned there relate to a different image.

tcreek commented 6 years ago

but I was using THIS image which does not invalidate my other bug reporting

umiddelb commented 6 years ago

to be honest, z2d (this github repo) does not create nor publish any image. These scripts help you to install an operating system on a local device. If you refer to an image, this is probably the wrong place to raise a complaint. To clarify this issue, you may provide the image's download url.
