Thanks for the reports. Two things: 0) It's going to be very hard to debug this if you don't have a way to rebuild the software for testing. Getting net boot working (even from a VM) would make it much easier. 1) You're likely to get better results on the 9front mailing list. ([email protected]) Unfortunately, I have neither version of the rasperry pi, and the mouse model you have doens't seem to be available on Amazon any more, so I can't even try it out on the PC on my end. > I can provide more context and information, but first I > wanted to ask: am I picking a broken image? cpu% sha1sum 9front.pi.img ffb9f6569c7c239a58f0e6e508aac9d2418333af 9front.pi.img > [2] Again, as for the mice problme, the legacy miller > version works like a charm even on this rpi! >From what I understand, the difference there is that 9front will parse the HID descriptor, while 9legacy will hardcode the boot protocol. There are a number of places that this can be going wrong -- from bad HID descriptors to power brownouts to USB bugs. As far as booting: A picture of the panic message would help. As far as the mouse: First question -- does it work if you plug it into a PC? (You can test with a USB stick). If it fails there, then it's likely a problem with HID parsing. Second question: Does it work with a powered USB hub? If yes, then it's likely to be the Pi's power limitations. Third question: Does it work with a different mouse? If not, then it'll take more work to investigate. ------------------------------------------ 9fans: 9fans Permalink: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/Td646dc8a14a94c8a-M5da560a682ef0f2f4f5bce9d Delivery options: https://9fans.topicbox.com/groups/9fans/subscription
