Network not coming up

[ytn]

I created a Jessie image for BananaPi with the latest / next kernel, and when booting the image, it get's stuck on "A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces". It never seems to complete raising the interface, and since there is no time limit, this goes on forever.

 

Creating a Wheezy image seems to work fine (also using latest / next kernel).

 

Any suggestions on how I can get the Jessie image up and running?

 

Thanks.

This is the same problem as described here. Apparently the workaround is not working @Jessie. Sometimes the power cycle helps.

Thanks Igor,

 

I did try power cycling multiple times, with no luck.

 

I'll stick with Wheezy until this is resolved.

[Igor]

Yes, better. I'll try to work this out until next build.

Use this DTB but remove codec. This patch is not in mainline

This dts enable eth0 wifi and edt display from lemaker

I made my own kernel with the configuration of Kernel-4.1.2, this works also. I found out that the dvbsky-driver should be compiled as module, not like in Igor's configuration für Kernel-4.2.2. When I boot up with a connected dvbsky the kernel crashes totally.
But with the older configuration I still have the problem with the clocksource (" clocksource: hstimer: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff, max_idle_ns: 21718868714 ns" for example)
My bananapi works now with self-compiled kernel-4.2.3

this is my way to get working stretch or jessie with 4.* kernel

Many thanks to you Igor. I had the same problem, but now with version 4.5 with kernel 4.2.3 the problem is gone.

Nice work!
