This was today in the morning/early afternoon. AFAIK, your script updates every time with the latest code, right? I am available for more info and tests if you want.

I could solve my issue this way: install stock image compile my custom kernel only, instead of entire image replace kernel into stock image ONLY. Before I had also replaced u-boot with the one coming from compilation Now system works properly and I am able to recognize my webcam. This means my issue was caused by u-boot, but I really cannot tell why. All the best Antonio

Hello there, I am trying to build a custom armbian image using instructions here http://www.armbian.com/using-armbian-tools/, because I need to enable additional module for Philips webcam, not included in stock one. I have built the compile environment, run the script, added my modules and compiled, generating the entire image. Once I flash and boot from it though, Uboot hangs while saying "booting the kernel" I have tried release 5.00 and 5.06, using Debian Wheezy and Jessie, with the same result. I have also tried flashing the stock image and then just replace kernel packages I had built, because I thought the problem could have to do with systemd. As latest pre-built image is 4.5, I suspect I have leaped too much ahead with the kernel version. Having the latest kernel is not a requirement for me, so if I could just build my custom image based on 4.5, or using the same kernel this would be great, but I could not find this release here https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/releases Any suggestions about how to proceed? Thanks in advance for any help, and many thanks to Igor for leading this great project. Antonio

Dear Igor, many thanks for bringing this great dedicated distribution to us! I am the proud owner of an Olimex Lime 2. As others in this thread I see there is no support for this webcam in the vanilla kernel: idVendor=0471, idProduct=0307 Philips PCVC675K (Vesta) I think this has to do with kernel, because I could test the device with success on other machines. If I can give you my two cents, you could consider adding broader support for webcams in the distribution, as I think it is one of the most common kind of device one could attach to a board. Also a guide to help people building their own version of the vanilla kernel would be great (maybe there already is one I could not spot). All the best and keep up the good work!
