Thank You for explaining

[Banana pi M2 fails to boot]

Also tried Ubuntu 4.9.7 started to boot kernel but failed to boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.25_Bananapim2_Ubuntu_xenial_next_4.9.7_desktop.7z

 

Also tried new 4.9.7 debian cmd line next failed to boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.25_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.7.7z

 

Also tried tool created the following image thinking maybe tool would update itself due to new images in archive, but it failed to boot

Armbian_5.25_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.7-rt4_desktop.img

 

I am just a user of Armbian and really appreciate all the work you developers put into this. But I don't get it why make available images and a tool that do not work for a particular board such as the Banana Pi M2

Also tried Ubuntu which failed to boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/Ubuntu_xenial_next_desktop.7z

 

Also tried command line archive failed to boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.24_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.5.7z

 

Also used tool to make dev image failed to boot

Is it possible to get a older version of tool that worked for Banana PiM2 to add kernel to older image ?

Tried image from main download page would not boot

https://www.armbian.com/donate/?f=https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/Debian_jessie_next.7z

 

Tried image from archive would not boot

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.24_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_next_4.9.5.7z

 

Tried using tool to build my own image and that also failed to boot.

 

Tried older image which did boot,

https://dl.armbian.com/bananapim2/archive/Armbian_5.20_Bananapim2_Debian_jessie_4.7.3_desktop.7z

and tried adding new kernel using tool, after loading deb files it also would not reboot before reboot OS was not responding correctly.

 

What I would like to accomplish is add my own patched kernel, (RT-PREEMPT) to debian desktop image for banana pi M2

 

Any help would be appreciated

Will I have to

 

apt-get install xfce4 xfce4-goodies

 

or is something else missing that will take less time

 

By the way THANKS A BUNCH

[Noob trying to patch kernel can not get patch directory correct]

#Run armbian tool again
#Changes to compile.sh

# KERNEL_ONLY="no" KERNEL_CONFIGURE="yes" CLEAN_LEVEL="make,debs,images" PROGRESS_LOG_TO_FILE="yes" EXPERIMENTAL_DEBOOTSTRAP="yes"

# I was using the first 3 choices on command line in terminal before with no changes to compile.sh

./compile.sh

#This time prompt came up with choices for RT PREEMPT then menuconfig also opened

 

It is runniing hopefuly it finishes without failure

FYI before build script updated this worked with wheezy I still have a sdcard running at this moment but without RT-Preempt

Thank you for the quick reply

I noticed in the last day armbian updated and process is different but this is what I just done and it failed

 

#Reinstalled Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 server in Virtualbox and booted up
sudo su -

#Install armbian building script
apt-get -y -qq install git
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib
cp lib/compile.sh .

#Run building script first time to set-up, (source, directorys ect.)
./compile.sh
#Wheezy
#XFCE desktop
#Latest stable @kernel.org

#Failed first run during install armbian on top debian wheezy base system while installing package x-11-server-utils, directorys were set up though

#Setup patch
cd ~/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-next

wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/rt/4.4/patch-4.4.1-rt6.patch.gz

gunzip *.gz
cd ~

#Run armbian tool again
./compile.sh KERNEL_ONLY=no KERNEL_CONFIGURE=yes CLEAN_LEVEL=make,debs,images

#menuconfig did not start I do not know if patch was applied screen scroll was to fast
#Failed again on second run during install armbian on top debian wheezy base system while installing package x-11-server-utils

 

Am I doing something wrong

[Noob trying to patch kernel can not get patch directory correct]

I have a BPI-M2 and I am trying to patch kernel 4.4.1 with contents of archive

patches-4.4.1-rt6.tar.gz

for RT-Preempt while making Debian Wheezy xfce desktop image.

 

I have tried putting patches in

 

/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-dev

 

and

 

/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-dev/linux-vanilla/v4.4.1

 

nether worked. Made image but patches were not applied

 

Any help would be appreciated
