Hello! Thanks for all your answers! I managed to get Debian working with Kernel 4.8.7. Dont know exactly whats wrong with 4.9. I try to identify the problem if i get the system up and running with 4.8.7... However, there is another strange problem. apt doesnt work ... Every time I try to run "apt update" or any installation with "apt install xyz" Debian freezes.
First i thought it might be the BX instruction patch. But this strange behaviour also occures with Kernel 3.16.81 and Debian 5 (which supports ARMv4l - that means no BX emulation at all) The system freezes, but it accepts input from the keyboard and displays the typed characters. Also Kernel messages, like remove or insert of a PCMCIA card, are shown. But nothing else works anymore. Nothing in the logs after restart. Maybe someone has a hint or can tell me where to start debugging... Regards Stefan Lehner -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Stefan Lehner [mailto:stefan-leh...@aon.at] Gesendet: Freitag, 24.

I have a very unusal setup: a old Handheld PC with a StrongARM CPU on which i like to get Debian 9 running. Short summary of my Kernel: 4.9.210 with BX emulation patch (to get things going on the old ARMv4) CONFIG_AEABI=y CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT=y I can send a the full .config i fit necessary. The armel rootfs is copied onto a CF card with debootstrap Then I generated the devices and set some things linke hostname, locale . $ debootstrap --arch armel --foreign stretch /mnt/jornada http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian $ cp /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static /mnt/jornada/usr/bin $ LANG=C.UTF-8 chroot /mnt/jornada qemu-arm-static /bin/bash $ /debootstrap/debootstrap --second-stage $ apt install makedev $ mount none /proc -t proc $ cd /dev $ MAKEDEV generic And here is the problem: the kernel boots up fine, mounts the rootfs. After a while it displays crng init done and thats it. Nothing more . Can somebody help me? Here is the console output: --------linexec-------- LinExec: UART Initialized. LinExec: UART Initialized.
