[Helios64 - Armbian 23.08 Bookworm issues (solved)]

@RlndVt that is actually the same kernel panic was getting at times.

But I was also not able to apply the fix. So if it is really related to the realtek driver that makes sense.

Thank you for this thread and all the work you have been doing. 😍

I had moved house some months ago and for some reason in the new network my helios64 does not come up anymore.

I will use Armbian_23.5.4_Helios64_bookworm_current_6.1.36 for a fresh install as suggested.

Software support - the most expensive part of hardware product - is pure Armbian and without Armbian this project would never get this far. Also there is no need to create any mirrors since Armbian keeps archives at many places.  Also you can rebuild images from sources at any time.

 

 

 

 

Thank you Igor! This is what needed to be said.
I had not been super happy with the helios64, mainly because of the instability issues.
But I will give it a last chance for some more time.
If we help each other and stick together as a community, we can still make our machines work.
Now, I'd certainly like to hear other peoples opinions on how this community will go forward. (Maybe this is not the right thread though).
@Igor Will this Club stay open on the armbian forums?

Sorry, the line about disabling was just to make sure you disable the armbian-zram-config service by setting ENABLED to false.

 

As a warning, though, I found some problems with this if you log to a zfs share. It seems you have to make sure zfs gets loaded before the logging starts up, otherwise you can get a kernel panic on occasion. I didn't really dig into how to fix this, so I just log and swap to a usb drive instead now.

Thank you for clarifying and pointing that out.
Logging to a USB drive as a swap seems like a neat workaround.
It would be better though, if we could work out how to avoid the kernel panics without having to change when zfs mounts.

Hi,

 

I had that same idea and I'm just setting this up based on your suggestions.
Thank you for starting the thread.

Just one thing: There is no option regarding compression in /etc/default/armbian-zram-config, or did you mean to disable another option?

Is it required to remake pools, or can we just use the one we already created?
