One thing I've been noticing on the CuBox is that, at each reboot, the network interface is not brought up. Strangely, the system tries to set up ethX where X increments by one at each reboot. For example, I now see the following in /var/log/boot.log:

network[398]: Setting up (localfs) network interfaces: network[398]: lo network[398]: lo IP address: 127.0.0.1/8 network[398]: ..done eth4 network[398]: No configuration found for eth4 network[398]: ..unusedWaiting for mandatory devices: eth0 network[398]: 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 [...] network[398]: eth0 No interface found network[398]: ..failed

The last time, eth3 was involved; before that eth2. Next time it will be eth5.

In yast (network settings), there were two interfaces - eth0 and eth4 (not configured). I deleted eth0 and configured eth4 (basically just set it to dhcp rather than static). After saving, the network was back up again.

Any idea what is causing this? Is the mac address changing across reboots? Yes - you nailed it. Just checked now and: 00:50:43:5C:17:04 (before reboot) 00:50:43:e2:36:17 (after reboot)

What is causing this? Seems like a strange configuration option to have -or is it a bug? Ciaran

During the initial boot, the one where the initrd resizes the partitions, it modifies u-boot environment variables and then tries to save them. Something goes wrong. On subsequent boots u-boot finds a bad checksum in the saved environment variables and uses default values. That causes it to generate a random MAC address for the ethernet adapter. Udev, finding a new MAC address, assigns it a new device name.

The immediate solution is to enter a "saveenv" command to u-boot. It will then have a good checksum and won't create a new MAC address every time. Then you have to fix your udev rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules Could the resetenv in the uboot-setup script be causing this? I put it in there because it appeared to have helped me boot at all at first, but now I'm beginning to think it nukes the MAC address as well...

Ciaran

Somebody smarter then me will have to figure out what goes wrong during that fix boot.

However, I consider contrib machines responsibilities of the respective contrib maintainers, so in this case that would be Max's call. Ok, understood. I'll try to mess around based on the original version and see what happens. I still haven't updated uboot on my CuBox - I'll hold off doing that for awhile to see if we can get the original generic code working.

How about you give it a try and change it in the .kiwi file accordingly? :) http://www.solid-run.com/mw/index.php/Setup_SD_boot uses this:

setenv bootargs 'console=ttyS0,115200n8 vmalloc=384M root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 So it would seem that 115200n8 is correct, not 115200. I'll give both versions a try as soon as I get back in front of a Cubox. Any idea what the difference between 115200 and 115200n8 is? Something to do with parity?

Wait, wait, wait! :-)

I forgot to update the uboot-setup.tgz (kiwi-hooks/setupUboot.sh). Details here:

http://c-farrell.blogspot.de/2012/11/opensuse-on-cubox-day-7.html

Basically, the latest image (home:babelworx:branches...) can now survive a reboot, but dies on an illegal instruction. Which for me means that the new initrd that is written after yast2-firstboot is somehow kaputt. Fixed with https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/143674

For me, it now boots properly. Now testing the system itself... Ciaran

Maybe just bumping the ramdisk load address up already gets you rolling. What would prevent me from taking your version (it boots into yast2-firstboot, by the way - I'm still configuring there, so I'll still need to see what happens after the first reboot), removing the resetenv and sr'ing? That would work too, but the former version was tested on a lot of boards and known to work, while the "short script" that's there now is not. So chances are higher more things break again later.

However, I consider contrib machines responsibilities of the respective contrib maintainers, so in this case that would be Max's call. Ok, understood. I'll try to mess around based on the original version and see what happens. I still haven't updated uboot on my CuBox - I'll hold off doing that for awhile to see if we can get the original generic code working. Another benefit of the original code was that it was almost identical to the one we use for generic platforms in Factory and 12.2. That means integration into the main project becomes easier later on :). I created sr#142958 to revert to revision 11. If somebody with the appropriate permission could check and approve that, it would be great. Could you please create an sr that reverts to 11 plus changes the ramdisk load address to 0x500... in both uboot-image-setup and uboot-setup.tgz/setupUBoot.sh? I now have three images tested: (1) a debian image (2) openSUSE with ramdiskaddr 0x300... (3) openSUSE with ramdiskaddr 0x500...

(1) boots quickly and without a problem (2) gets as far as loading the initrd and then chokes on some kind of illegal instruction (3) manages to load the initrd but then hangs at "booting the kernel" For (2) and (3) I used revision 11 of the JeOS-cubox package. For (2) I used it without any modifications. For (3) I changed the ramdiskaddr in uboot-image-setup and in the .tgz file that decompresses to kiwi-hooks. (1), (2) and (3) were done on a new uboot...

Could you first test this kernel and share your results ? https://api.opensuse.org/build/home:elvigia:branches:openSUSE:Factory:ARM/st... I did some work in the configs ;) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

I have the new u-boot. I wrote a fresh image xz to a card, edited the boot.scr to remove the "resetenv", and everything "just works". The first boot does the partition resizing and other setup. All subsequent boots work without problems.

Cool!

The general rule of thumb is that for normal (Factory) kernels, only patches that are either * not upstreamable at all, but very much interesting or required (like the stack unrolling stuff) or * already/almost accepted upstream, but need backporting for stable openSUSE kernels So the best way forward would be to get them upstream. Then we can talk about pulling them into the openSUSE kernel git. For contrib, things are different. There the quality of the kernel's code is the contrib maintainer's problem. We have a few contrib ports with purely downstream kernels around :).
