Dear list, I am trying to install Debian on my Cubietruck (think Raspberry Pi with Allwinner A20 ARM SOC). I made me a bootable SD card with the Debian installer [1], which comes from linux-sunxi, and is supposed to run on any Allwinner platform. However, to run on my board, it needed a new uboot, which I got from the Debian daily builds [2]. [Someone guessed this is because my particular board doesn't run on some DRAM timings which are supposed to be safe]
I can now boot that SD card, the Debian installer starts as well. At some point I get an error that it could not load a few modules, and that it could not find a compatible kernel (modules) in the repository. uname -a tells me "Linux 3.18.0-00018-g1f4f514 #1 SMP Mon Dec 15 16:51:47 EET 2014 armv7l GNU/Linux". The installer tries to install Jessie, and as far as I can see "linux-headers-3.16.0-4-all" is the latest one in the repositories? I have logs from the failed setup attempt, but couldn't find any more interesting info. I am a bit lost here. Do I need to downgrade the uboot? Or other components? Would that be the sunxi "boot environment", or the "Debian setup installer environment"? [FYI, I believe it is necessary for me to run Debian installer, as I want to use LUKS system encryption. For this I need an initramfs. I could not find a readymade Debian image for the cubietruck with an initramfs onboard, and ran into troubles trying to build my own initramfs. So now I try to install a regular Debian, with everything I need right from the beginning] I am grateful for any pointers.
