03:44 <wens> For Debian it's like, x.y will hit sid when x.y+1 is released

09:46 <narmstrong> wildea01: Debian stable should run as efi, but you need to boot uboot from sdcard and install on a separate storage like usb or eMMC

09:48 <narmstrong> wildea01: Debian installer kernel was missing some stuff as module, I made sure these were part of the arm64 config

11:12 <wildea01> narmstrong: interesting; I've not had much luck with the debian installer, but I have a hunch that it's not spawning a console on the serial port

11:15 <xdarklight> wildea01: do you use "setenv bootargs" from here: http://linux-meson.com/doku.php#bit_socs_gxbb_s905_or_newer ?

11:17 <xdarklight> (that applies to all Linux distributions)

11:28 <wildea01> xdarklight: I'm not sure that helps, since the debian installer wants to run its own grub as an EFI application

11:58 <narmstrong> wildea01: I’ll a do tomorrow but on my last tries it gave me a console on the serial but that was before we introduced hdmi support in u-boot and de facto efifb in Linux

12:04 <wildea01> narmstrong: thanks, although after some more debugging I don't think I'm even making it that far :(

12:11 <wildea01> narmstrong: I'll keep hacking about and get back to you once I have something more useful

12:12 <wildea01> thanks

12:22 <wildea01> narmstrong: aha... so I managed to chainload the installer grub from the one on the sdcard

12:22 <wildea01> narmstrong: and then system explodes in the installer, so the kernel panics

12:22 <wildea01> nice

12:22 <wildea01> *systemd

12:23 <wildea01> [ 2.298353] systemd-udevd[111]: Assertion 'close_nointr(fd) != -EBADF' failed at ../src/basic/fd-util.c:71, function safe_close(). Aborting.

12:23 <narmstrong> :-/

12:23 <wildea01> narmstrong: software for you :)

12:25 <wildea01> narmstrong: btw, I tried running mainline, but it couldn't find any of the clocks. Is this because the .dtb is out of date?

12:26 <narmstrong> wildea01: the dtb on debian stable ?

12:27 <wildea01> narmstrong: the one that comes with the ubuntu image on the libre.computer site

12:27 <narmstrong> it's 4.19, yes we changed the clock controller bindings in the meantime

12:28 <wildea01> thanks

12:29 <narmstrong> the bug has been reported upstream https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/8035

14:44 <lvrp16> I will start working on 5.3 images soon for Le Potato

14:44 <lvrp16> once Linux tags
