12:30 <victhor> I'm having problems booting a mainline kernel on sun8i with a initrd, mmc card is not found, and regulators don't seem to work. I have added the required modules to the initrd. if I have these drivers built into the kernel instead of using the initrd to load the modules, it boots successfully. I have this file in dracut.conf.d, and the modules are present in the initrd when I check it with lsinitrd. https://pastebin.com/raw/e

12:47 <victhor> also, even with the sun8i-codec-analog driver loaded, alsa doesn't find any sound cards. this is on A33, forgot to mention that

14:17 <victhor> is there anything that needs to be done to get the built in codec working in A33?

17:56 <afaerber> victhor, you need to force loading the rsb driver in 4.14

17:58 <afaerber> victhor, https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-arm/2017-11/msg00040.html

17:58 <victhor> can this be done with dracut, or do I have to build the kernel with that driver set as "y" (built in)?

17:59 <victhor> I see, now that I read this link

17:59 <afaerber> haven't tried on sun8i yet, so names might vary

18:00 <victhor> I'll give it a try and report back

18:30 <victhor> afaerber: the workaround works on sun8i A33, thanks

21:29 <lurchi_> victhor: afaerber I think this can also be done by adding "rd.driver.pre=axp20x-rsb" kernel command line option

21:35 <afaerber> sure, you can put it into /etc/default/grub - typing it on each boot is no fun

21:36 <afaerber> although, sun8i probably means no grub, so you'd need a boot.scr or extlinux.conf with it
