srega Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Hello igor! Thank you. The last build 3.0 jessie with kernel 4.0.4 works fine. But i had some problem with first boot after installation. After i try to change password for root bpi drop connection and after reconnection password still was 1234. I tried about 5 times. I had to reboot bpi with disconnect power and after reboot i was able to change password normally.
Igor Posted May 25, 2015 Posted May 25, 2015 Yes. Jessie & systemd are causing some additional troubles and this is one of them. It started in latest build - the build before Jessie was anyway completely broken. You simply need to wait that it reboots than it works just fine. I know it's not noted under bugs. I'll add. Thanks for bringing up.
Guest Fischkopp Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Hello Igor, I am playing with two Bananas since one year... from my point the Allwinner A20 boards are very good toys in money and perfomance... but the last week I had been playing with your Image and I am perfectly satisfied... great Job Today I checked your page of the Orange PI... It shows a new image with Kernel 4.0.4... The change log shows "usb/sata install fixed on 4.0.4"!!! Is it the same Kernel as for Banana PI? Is it fixed for Banana PI as well? Or am I only impatient? regards Fischkopp
Igor Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Oh, thanks Yes, Orange kernel is good for Banana too. http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/38-config-usb-storage-debugy-on-debian-jessie-404/?p=143
Guest Fischkopp Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Sorry to ask again... Does SATA work on Banana too? The Banana page still shows "USB/SATA install fails on new kernel". Is Kernel 4.0.4 reliable? (compared to 3.4.107) regards and thanks
Igor Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Sata install works now on all 4.x but I only rebuild Orange kernel ... which covers all Allwinner boards. Just the name is "orange". Is Kernel 4.0.4 reliable? (compared to 3.4.107) Huh. It's stable but it's lack of some functionality and it's hard to say if it's 100% reliable. I haven't used it that much.
Guest Fischkopp Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I just need USB, SATA and Gigabit LAN... I will try Kernel 4.0.4 on the media server.... see if it will run 24/7...
Guest Fischkopp Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Hi Igor, basically I followed your 'FAQ - frequently asked questions' to upgrade the kernel from 3.4.107 to 4.0.4... mkdir 3.19.6cd 3.19.6wget http://mirror.igorpecovnik.com/kernel/3.19.6-cubietruck-next.tartar xvf 3.19.6-cubietruck-next.tardpkg -i linux-image*.deb The first try failed The serial console showed: ** File not found /boot/dtb/sun7i-a20-bananapi.dtb **5046520 bytes read in 842 ms (5.7 MiB/s)Kernel image @ 0x46000000 [ 0x000000 - 0x4d00f8 ]ERROR: Did not find a cmdline Flattened Device TreeCould not find a valid device treeSCRIPT FAILED: continuing...scanning bus for devices...Found 0 device(s). When I read that device tree blob (dtb file) is missing I rembered that newer kernel need it... I installed also this package: dpkg -i linux-dtb-4.0.4-orangepi_1.3_armhf.deb maybe the FAQs should describe it as well or even better it will be installed with the linux-image... lets see if it will be stable for 24/7 mismatches shown via dmesg: ...

Igor Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Yes, I assumed that I already fixed dependencies ... but haven't U-boot is also necessary to change - with old one you might have only one CPU core. Note that last version might be broken ... so U-boot one version back - check archive. If u-boot and dtb packets are not installed automatic, install them too: dpkg -i linux-u-boot*.deb dpkg -i linux-dtb*.deb BTW: My Orange PI is hard crashing without any report of error ... with any known kernel. Longest up-time was around one week. Currently clueless.
Guest Fischkopp Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Igor, you are fast... you answered my post while I have edited it I updated the u-boot... now 2 CPU... Orange PI is crashing with any kernel, also 3.4.x? So might not be a kernel problem? Lets see how long my Banana will keep running...
Igor Posted June 4, 2015 Posted June 4, 2015 Nice! Orange PI is crashing with any kernel, also 3.4.x? So might not be a kernel problem? Lets see how long my Banana will keep running... Yes, it's some unknown hardware problem, hopefully solvable.Banana should work just fine. Hard to say how stable is kernel 4.x since it's new stuff ... people report stability but also some crashes.
