Hi,

I was trying something different to get the chromebook working: I found in the Images.wiwi.in, that a lot of packages are marked as PKG_BOOT_TAG and that way included in the initrd, suchas vboot, gptfdisk,mrvl-firmware, which shouldnt be needed for booting imo. I reduced those to just PKG_BOOT_TAG(u-boot-chromebook), PKG_BOOT_TAG(dtb-exynos5),

No, it is there to be included in /boot partition. Marcus, am I right? But yes, we may remove vboot, etc. from PKG_BOOT_TAG. Dirk, Alex, are you OK with that?

which resulted in a smaller initrd that loaded without warnings. But then I get just a black screen after the kernel is (hopefully) started. In my opinion, this initrd is far too huge anyway, and I wonder why that is.

Initrd is big for 1st boot because we need to repartition SD card and thus embed some tools in initrd. Then, initrd is regenerated and should not be too big anymore. Guillaume

Hi,

are the latest Chromebook images supposed to work? I tried the most recent Factory-ARM-XFCE-chromebook.armv7l-1.12.1-Build169.2 (of today) and got No. The problem is "ext2fs doesn't support tripple indirect blocks" which prevent to load all the initrd.

I am working on upstream u-boot which could fix that. But it is not yet ready. :(

IIRC the way to get it available there was to make it PKG_BOOT_TAG. Right, Marcus?

No, I added them in prjconf to pre-install them with: Preinstall: vboot Preinstall: gptfdisk Otherwise, they were ot availaible. Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

This may be caused by a bad DTB file. kernel-chromebook provide "/boot/exynos5250-snow.dtb" and we actually use "/boot/dtb/exynos5250-snow.dtb" from dtb-exynos5 package. Try to replace the DTB file in /boot/dtb/ with the one from kernel-chromebook package. Guillaume

In my opinion, this initrd is far too huge anyway, and I wonder why that is.
