Package: installation-reports
Boot method:
The machine's boot loader was first upgraded from:
"U-Boot 2015.10-rc2 (Aug 18 2016 - 20:43:35 +0200), Build:
jenkins-omnia-master-23"
to:
"U-Boot 2015.10-rc2 (Apr 13 2017 - 18:18:08 +0200), Build:
jenkins-omnia-test-812"
using the image from
https://api.turris.cz/openwrt-repo/omnia-test/nor_fw/uboot-turris-omnia-spl.kwb.
The debian-installer images listed below were then downloaded to an
ext2 filesystem on an mSATA SSD installed in the machine, in the
"/install" directory.
The system was then booted with the following U-Boot commands:
=> mw 0xf10184a0 0xfd4d4cfa
=> mw 0xf1020300 0x403
=> scsi scan

Comments/Problems:
The installer environment was unable to detect the mSATA SSD
installed in the system, due to the absence of the ahci_mvebu.ko
kernel module. I was able to work around this by downloading the
linux-image-4.9.0-2-armmp-unsigned_4.9.18-1_armhf.deb package from
the archive on another machine and extracting the file
lib/modules/4.9.0-2-armmp/kernel/drivers/ata/ahci_mvebu.ko, and
transferring this .ko file to the installer environment's
/lib/modules/4.9.0-2-armmp/kernel/drivers/ata/ directory, then
running "depmod -a" and "modprobe ahci_mvebu". This made /dev/sda
appear and I was able to proceed with partitioning the mSATA SSD.
I understand from [0] that debian-installer is unable to configure
the boot loader on this machine, so I skipped the "Install boot
loader" step and manually copied the dtb file into /target/boot/dtb.
After rebooting the machine I ran the following commands in the
U-Boot environment:
setenv debbootargs earlyprintk console=ttyS0,115200 rootfstype=ext4 rootwait
root=/dev/sda2 ro quiet pcie_aspm=off
setenv debboot 'setenv bootargs "$debbootargs"; mw 0xf10184a0 0xfd4d4cfa; mw
0xf1020300 0x403; scsi scan; ext2load scsi 0:1 0x01000000 vmlinuz; ext2load
scsi 0:1 0x02000000 dtb; ext2load scsi 0:1 0x03000000 initrd.img; bootz
0x01000000 0x03000000:$filesize 0x02000000'
setenv debbootcmd 'i2c dev 1; i2c read 0x2a 0x9 1 0x00FFFFF0; setexpr.b rescue
*0x00FFFFF0; if test $rescue -ge 2; then echo BOOT RESCUE; run rescueboot; else
if test $rescue -ge 1; then echo BOOT eMMC TurrisOS FS; run mmcboot; else echo
BOOT Debian FS; run debboot; fi; fi'
setenv bootcmd "$debbootcmd"
saveenv
boot
The machine then successfully booted Debian.
