pxeboot initramfs issue

[hello_flowers 0]

Hello everyone,

My hardware is Orange Pi PC2.
I'm netbooting with latest armbian kernel compiled from src:

root@hello-PC:/home/hello/armbian# cat /var/lib/tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default
default menu.c32
prompt 1

menu title Boot Menu
   Label Armbian
       menu label Manual load Armbian
       kernel armbian/vmlinuz-4.19.20-sunxi64
       fdt armbian/sun50i-h5-orangepi-pc2.dtb
       append initrd=armbian/uInitrd netboot=nfs nfsroot=192.168.100.1:/var/nfs debug=y

Everything is loaded and mounted, but I can't see any echoes from init script (initramfs).
Even after I added:

root@hello-PC:/home/hello/armbian/init# diff init ../init_bak
30,31d29
< mknod -m 600 /dev/console c 5 1
< mknod -m 600 /dev/tty c 5 0

i can only see the kernel messages during boot process but not able to see the output of init script.
I tried to do the same with images downloaded from armbian.com, it doesn't work.
Can anybody help me?

armbianmonitor -u   tells the reader all the details about your Installation, like Kernel-Version and much more

Hello Tido,

Here is the output of armbianmonitor:

Do you have an UART cable ... https://linux-sunxi.org/UART ?

Have already tried this: https://docs.armbian.com/User-Guide_Allwinner_overlays/#debugging  verbosity=1

Hello Tido,

 

I don't have UART cable at this moment.

I'll try to boot from the sd card with verbosity=1.

Thank you.

Hello Tido,

 

Thank you. Everything changes with UART (now I can see the output via serial).
