kingul

so, no joy Thank you, anyway

@balbes150 Can you please modify my original dtb.img to work with one of your firmware made with kernel 4.9.40? It's working with 3.14.29, gcc 4.9, but not with gcc > 5 or kernel 4.9.40 dtb.img

Thank you for clarification!

"The new server", is that 5.32, and not applicable to my version, 5.27 ? I'm using apt update/upgrade, (I like my software to be updated), but didn't see any kernel updates.

I'll look at Aptik and see what it can do, thanks!

Yes, static ip is working, all is ok. I'm still using my Yoka KB2 as a server, non stop working, with ARMBIAN 5.27 stable Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 3.14.29, not a single problem what so ever. Only one thing I'm not sure: how can I update armbian, when new version is out? If I reflash with the new image, all my settings are gone(and they are a lot, everywhere).

Yes, removing wifi_dumy from /etc/modules worked like a charm, now there is no problem and all is ok, with static ip.

I really know how to do this, you will see in my config that static settings are commented out. Don't worry about that, I'm just a particularly case, I can live with that. Dmesg output is taken after changing to static ip, but man...it takes long to boot. So, I'll stay with dhcp settings until I'll find out how to completely disable wifi modules without breaking the server. Thank you again for your work!

That's my configuration that works. I did some testing again, just to be sure that it wasn't a one time thing. # Wired adapter #1 #auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp allow-hotplug eth0 no-auto-down eth0 # address 192.168.10.115 # netmask 255.255.255.0 # gateway 192.168.10.1 #dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 # hwaddress ether # if you want to set MAC manually # pre-up /sbin/ifconfig eth0 mtu 3838 # setting MTU for DHCP, static just: mtu 3838 # Wireless adapter #1 # Armbian ships with network-manager installed by default. To save you time # and hassles consider using 'sudo nmtui' instead of configuring Wi-Fi settings # manually. The below lines are only meant as an example how configuration could # be done in an anachronistic way: # #allow-hotplug wlan0 #iface wlan0 inet dhcp #address 192.168.0.100 #netmask 255.255.255.0 #gateway 192.168.0.1 #dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 # wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf # Disable power saving on compatible chipsets (prevents SSH/connection dropouts over WiFi) #wireless-mode Managed #wireless-power off # Local loopback auto lo iface lo inet loopback So, after I make changes for static ip, the box starts in almost 3 minutes, but only after I disconnect and reconnect ethernet cable.

Also, don't know how to disable completely the wifi module, maybe it has something to do with it.

@gnthibault I have 2GB of ram with 32GB rom. (Yoka TV KB2) First time I tried with nand-sata-install, but it was a bad move, because bootloader was rewritten, I had to restore official image of my device. After a little search I found /root/install.sh script and it worked perfectly. @balbes150 I've tried all possibilities but none worked. Every change that I've made in /etc/network/interfaces for static ip was resulting in no ip at all, eth0 didn't wanna start. Also tried in webmin, same situation, so I figured that may be a bug related to my hardware. I can live with that though. I didn't try wifi settings because I use only cable. P.S. I'm using Armbian_5.27_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_server_20170323 image

Hi, I want to thank balbes150 and armbian for the opportunity to install linux on s912 devices. I've installed armbian 5.27, and run it as a complete webserver, with Nextcloud I've put it on internal memory with an external HDD that serves as Home partition and no issue so far, except I cannot change settings to static ip, right now I'm on dhcp with ip reserved in router. All and all, you did a great job!
