guidol 274 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 As a test I updated on a secondary Pihole-Server (buster on NanoPi K1 Plus) the kernel to 5.11.1-dev and at startup Pihole did seem to make some trouble The server isnt getting to the login prompt and on the serial console the last info is "Starting kernel..." I updated some of my SMB-Servers with kernel 5.11.1-deb without problems. Will later try a new resinstall with buster and 5.11.1 and see if Pihole will run on a complete new installation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Driver is broken in 5.11, I'm working on it with other guys, I'm using OPiPC+/OPiLite/OPiPlus2E. In the mean time, if you don't need WiFi, disable the module : mv /lib/modules/5.11.1-sunxi/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8189fs/8189fs.ko /lib/modules/5.11.1-sunxi/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8189fs/8189fs.ko-disabled 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martinayotte 674 Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 Just now, guidol said: does this prevent from booting up complete? Yes, and No ... it prevent all networking if WiFi is present, such as running "ifconfig" will hang forever. Simply move or delete the 8189fs.ko module will prevent that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

guidol 274 Posted February 28 Author Share Posted February 28 @martinayotte My OPi One with Pihole & Kernel 5.11.1 does work - so its up to a problem with the NPI K1 Plus ans 5.11.1, but not only the WiFi-module For now I will go back to current (have to check kernel No) with the NPi K1 Plus 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I've done builds+tests on all my OPi which using this rtl8189, and results are successful, I've done this commit : https://github.com/armbian/build/commit/bba53d4644e83cd46b80820b5835ad7c2e7691e5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I disabled the module in the "path" not in the "patch" (corrected this now) - so it shouldnt be present. Thanks for your commit 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
