Don't use kernel 6.12.16 on sunxi64

boot and stopped on mount something.

How did you get this kernel version?  My device  on sunxi64 is on 6.6.72,  and apt wants to update it to 6.6.75.

I built it from the latest build system from github .

 

For Zero2 and Zero3, it must be freezen in booting stage, stopped when mount something.

 

Maybe other boards are OK?

boot and stop here, Zero3

[Werner]

Seems indeed broken for H61*

H6 is fine.

Try to set the disabled status for the GPU node.

or temporarily disable this patch:

patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.12/series.conf#L472

Is the GPU node enabled for your board?

I think so, yes

Thank you for the information provided!
A simple clarification. Does it work on an h616 processor with the patch disabled?

 

For the h618 processor, I was unable to get the GPU to work with or without this patch.
It remains to be seen whether this patch plays a positive role for the h6 processor.

If there is no positive effect, then I'd better turn it off.

Yes. I disabled the patch you mentioned (patch/kernel/archive/sunxi-6.12/series.conf#L472) and built a bookworm minimal edge image with this and successfully booted an Orange Pi Zero 2 H616.

I cannot answer this. I am using my Orange Pi One Plus (H6) headless only. Maybe anyone else can.

I understood. Thank you.

@going Extra confirmation.

 

Yesterday I cloned the master and built orangepizero3 debian edge images for cinnamon and xfce .  Both hung on the initial load of the kernel.

 

I then removed the above mentioned L472 patch and rebuilt the cinnamon image which now works.

This patch is not complete.

A solution already seems to exist in this discussion.

I will add these changes to this PR#7705 tomorrow.
