Package: installation-reports Severity: normal Thanks for maintaining debian-installer!
This install was a bit rough, requring two workarounds to get USB working (a custom device-tree, and appending a cpio archive with all kernel modules to the initrd.gz), as well as some troublesome issues with LVM due to existing LVM partitions on an inaccessible/broken SSD. Fixing up LVM required manually removing all the logical volumes, groups and physical volumes, and even then had to reboot for partman to recognize it. The serial console wasn't set at first boot either. Despite all that, did eventually manage to install... more detail below. live well, vagrant -- Package-specific info: Boot method: network Image version: debian-installer-netboot-9-armhf 20170615+deb9u1 Date: 2017-10-01 Machine: Odroid-XU4 Partitions: $ df -Tl Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on udev devtmpfs 990636 0 990636 0% /dev tmpfs tmpfs 201684 5384 196300 3% /run /dev/mapper/odxu4a-root ext4 5699700 1137916 4252536 22% / tmpfs tmpfs 1008416 0 1008416 0% /dev/shm tmpfs tmpfs 5120 0 5120 0% /run/lock tmpfs tmpfs 1008416 0 1008416 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/mmcblk0p4 ext4 464790 26412 409860 7% /boot /dev/mapper/odxu4a-srv ext4 62215940 53272 58972500 1% /srv tmpfs tmpfs 201680 0 201680 0% /run/user/1000 Base System Installation Checklist: [O] = OK, [E] = Error (please elaborate below), [ ] = didn't try it Initial boot: [E] Detect network card: [E] Configure network: [O] Detect CD: [ ] Load installer modules: [O] Clock/timezone setup: [O] User/password setup: [O] Detect hard drives: [E] Partition hard drives: [E] Install base system: [O] Install tasks: [O] Install boot loader: [O] Overall install: [ ] Comments/Problems: The ethernet interface on this board is implemented using USB3... and the rootfs and other major filesystems are on a USB-SATA adapter. Initial boot required working around an upstream bug in linux that breaks USB 3 (workaround requires building a custom .dtb): https://bugs.debian.org/843448 Hope to get this fixed in a point release, the fix is moving upstream. Unfortunately, USB 3.0 still didn't work even with the modified .dtb, even though the same devicetree and kernel works fine on an installed system. I appended all the modules for the kernel to the initrd, and it worked fine! So linux 4.9.x must have some modules missing from the various .udebs that are otherwise present in the kernel package. lsmod from within debian-installer (when it didn't work): # lsmod Module Size Used by dwc3_exynos 3827 0 ohci_exynos 4178 0 dw_mmc_exynos 5942 0 ohci_hcd 37898 1 ohci_exynos ehci_exynos 4269 0 dw_mmc_pltfm 2485 1 dw_mmc_exynos ehci_hcd 64996 1 ehci_exynos dw_mmc 25740 2 dw_mmc_pltfm,dw_mmc_exynos usbcore 196310 4 ehci_exynos,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd,ohci_exynos phy_exynos_usb2 9238 2 phy_exynos5_usbdrd 7053 0 usb_common 3659 1 usbcore The running/working system: $ lsmod Module Size Used by cpufreq_conservative 3851 0 cpufreq_userspace 3034 0 cpufreq_ondemand 6534 2 cpufreq_powersave 1198 0 cdc_ether 7020 0 usbnet 24858 1 cdc_ether r8152 39630 0 mii 4166 2 usbnet,r8152 sg 22323 0 exynosdrm 81403 0 analogix_dp 25251 1 exynosdrm drm_kms_helper 117554 2 exynosdrm,analogix_dp drm 275008 4 exynosdrm,analogix_dp,drm_kms_helper pwm_samsung 6722 2 s3c2410_wdt 7161 1 pwm_fan 4806 0 cpufreq_dt 4136 0 leds_pwm 3220 0 nf_conntrack_ipv6 9612 5 nf_defrag_ipv6 16209 1 nf_conntrack_ipv6 ip6table_filter 1634 1 ip6_tables 12298 1 ip6table_filter xt_tcpudp 2973 6 nf_conntrack_ipv4 9225 5 nf_defrag_ipv4 1364 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 xt_conntrack 3039 10 nf_conntrack 85449 3 nf_conntrack_ipv6,nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_conntrack iptable_filter 1673 1 ip_tables 12041 1 iptable_filter x_tables 14762 6 ip_tables,iptable_filter,xt_tcpudp,ip6table_filter,xt_conntrack,ip6_tables autofs4 32600 2 ext4 550734 3 crc16 1274 1 ext4 jbd2 94046 1 ext4 crc32c_generic 1862 6 fscrypto 15434 1 ext4 ecb 2191 0 mbcache 5508 4 ext4 dm_mod 103153 9 sd_mod 32795 2 uas 12934 0 usb_storage 45835 2 uas scsi_mod 187707 4 sd_mod,usb_storage,uas,sg xhci_plat_hcd 6365 0 xhci_hcd 153906 1 xhci_plat_hcd dwc3 82180 0 udc_core 26444 1 dwc3 phy_generic 4686 0 s2mps11 40753 18 clk_s2mps11 2770 0 dwc3_exynos 3827 0 phy_exynos_mipi_video 3647 0 phy_exynos_dp_video 2206 0 i2c_exynos5 7429 0 ohci_exynos 4242 0 ohci_hcd 37898 1 ohci_exynos ehci_exynos 4333 0 ehci_hcd 64996 1 ehci_exynos dw_mmc_exynos 5942 0 dw_mmc_pltfm 2485 1 dw_mmc_exynos usbcore 195286 11 ehci_exynos,usbnet,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,cdc_ether,xhci_plat_hcd,uas,ohci_hcd,ohci_exynos,r8152,xhci_hcd dw_mmc 25740 2 dw_mmc_pltfm,dw_mmc_exynos phy_exynos_usb2 9238 2 usb_common 3659 3 udc_core,usbcore,dwc3 phy_exynos5_usbdrd 7053 4 Also had to manually set the serial console, as u-boot doesn't have a correct console value set: https://bugs.debian.org/877074 Unfortunately, due to a poorly timed power outage, the install logs didn't end up getting written to disk, even though the install proceeded fine. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.1 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: armhf (armv7l) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-armmp-lpae (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system)
