Control: tag -1 d-i confirmed Karsten Merker <merker@debian.org> (2015-04-07): > Package: release.debian.org > Severity: normal > User: release.debian.org@packages.debian.org > Usertags: unblock > > Please unblock package flash-kernel (both deb and udeb). > > We have received a report on debian-arm (see > https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2015/04/msg00016.html and bug > #782016) that running d-i on a Cubox-i4pro (armhf system) worked > without problems on a serial console, but that the installed > system did not appear to come up. The source of the problem was > that the boot script which is installed by flash-kernel into the > final system on Cubox hardware does not pass the u-boot console > variable to the kernel, so the kernel actually boots, but the > user has no way to interact with it. The boot script used by the > installer itself passes the console variable, which is why > running the installer worked without problems. > > Checking the other boot scripts used by flash-kernel showed that > the boot script for the Wandboard has the same issue, therefore > bootscr.cubox-i and bootscr.wandboard have been amended to pass > the u-boot console variable to the kernel. > > The changes have been tested on the Cubox-i4pro (by Rick Thomas, > the original reporter) and on the Wandboard (by Vagrant > Cascadian). While Vagrant was doing tests on different Wandboard > models, we found that the flash-kernel machine database has an > entry for the Wandboard Quad, but not for the Wandboard Solo/Dual > Lite (same baseboard, but using a stripped-down single/dual-core > variant of the i.MX6 SoC). Vagrant has supplied an appropriate > machine stanza (which covers both the Solo and the Dual Lite) and > I have included it. As the machine db entry does not influence > any existing code, I conside this addition suitable for Jessie > despite the freeze. That certainly looks like useful things to have in Jessie, so I'm happy to d-i-ack them with the above-set tags. Mraw, KiBi.
