Wilhelm Moser Posted July 2, 2020 Posted July 2, 2020 Hi there, I have a very strange issue: kernel 5.4.14-rockchip64 debian_version 10.3 Armbian 20.02.0-rc1 stable cable is OK - checked eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 set to dhcp ---- unfortunately the rockpro64 gave up with an hardware ram issue The unit was replaced and luckily I have an image: March 3, 2020 which was OK and fully functional. Today I threw it on the SD-Card and I do not have a NIC at all. A.m. Data drawn from the OS hwinfo issues RTL8211F irq:0 27 "eth0" lshw network:0 eth0 id9 with MAC network:1 DISABLED dummy0 ip a dummy0 down (Never had this scrap before) eth0: NO CARRIER ip link show dummy0 down eth0: BROADCAST UP... state UP Any ideas what happens here???? What am I missing??? Thank you - willi btw: my rockpros take about 90 seconds to boot up and I do have to power on/off the screen 2 times before the interface realizes that it has got a screen????

Preview builds never had any end user support. They were made exclusively for hunting bugs. 21 hours ago, Wilhelm Moser said: What am I missing??? You need to run latest image https://www.armbian.com/download/ (or at least updated to latest)
Wilhelm Moser Posted July 3, 2020 Author Posted July 3, 2020 OK - will use buster 2020-06-03 and revert with result
Wilhelm Moser Posted July 3, 2020 Author Posted July 3, 2020 buster 2020-06-03 installed without any issues - screen recon OK, screen size OK, network dhcp out of the box Thank you
Wilhelm Moser Posted July 5, 2020 Author Posted July 5, 2020 further report of findings: Armbian Focal desktop mainline based kernel 5.4.y - no eth0 Buster desktop 5.4 - no eth0, hwinfo says hardware OK and shows eth0, but no entry at /dev Buster server 4.4 - eth0 OK buster server 4.4 Would be good if there is a solution for buster desktop 5.4 as the installation of i.e. LXDE on buster server 4.4 is crude - somehow.. No pulseaudio and even apt-get install lxde delivers only the lxde-core. Funny that one have to install xorg before as the lxde packages does not resolve the dependency.
martinayotte Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 2 hours ago, Wilhelm Moser said: Buster desktop 5.4 - no eth0 You can try the "old school" way by adding the following in /etc/network/interfaces : # Wired adapter #1 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp
Wilhelm Moser Posted July 5, 2020 Author Posted July 5, 2020 tried with dhcp and static at /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 but with auto eth0 added allow-hotplug eth0 too... currently on ubuntu 20.4 but hell - ping changed from network not reachable to Destination host not reachable... some efforts.. still no network device in /dev but ethtool -S eth0 shows some data - almost all 0 Can't help but I think there is a bug between Kernel 5.4 and network?-manager sorry but I am not very good in driver and kernel tasks my focus is on LXC-Containers
