Since my Mele A2000 keeps locking up when using the 3.4 kernel (as
reported here several months ago), I decided I should try the sunxi-next
kernel (my machine can be headless, it just needs USB and SATA support,
basically).
So I got the sunxi-next branch from Github's linux-sunxi. Then did
make sunxi_defconfig
LOADADDR=0x40008000 make uImage dtbs
(note: this was run under Debian "stable" armhf on my Mele A2000)
then copied the files to my SD card.
Then at U-Boot's prompt I did:
ext2load mmc 0 0x46000000 uImage
ext2load mmc 0 0x49000000 sun4i-a10-a1000.dtb
env set fdt_high ffffffff
bootm 0x46000000 - 0x49000000
Admittedly, there's no initramfs set, but I figured I'll see about that later.
Problem is, this doesn't give me much. I get:
## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 46000000 ...
Image Name: Linux-3.14.0-rc5-00084-ge8176a3
Created: 2014-03-26 12:57:21 UTC
Image Type: ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
Data Size: 1784832 Bytes = 1.7 MiB
Load Address: 40008000
Entry Point: 40008000
Verifying Checksum ... OK
## Flattened Device Tree blob at 49000000
Booting using the fdt blob at 0x49000000
Loading Kernel Image ... OK
Using Device Tree in place at 49000000, end 49006bde
Starting kernel ...
and that's it: no more output after that.
I'm using the U-Boot that comes with the "Fedora 19 remix", and my
"uEnv.txt" says "console=ttyS0,115200". With the 3.4 kernel, I usually
get output starting with
[ 0.000000] CPU: ARMv7 Processor [413fc082] revision 2 (ARMv7), cr=10c5387d
any idea what might be going on? Is there a problem with the build
itself so Linux doesn't even get to outputting this first line. Or is
it outputting it somewhere else? Or did I get unlucky with a transient
problem in sunxi-next?
