--- Begin Message ---Package: installation-reports Boot method: Put the files on an SD card an manually loaded them in u-bootImage version: http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/ At the time of dowloading the image, the time column says "20:48 19-09-17".Date: 28-10-17 Machine: Banana Pi M3 (https://linux-sunxi.org/Banana_Pi_M3) Processor: A83T Memory: 2GiB LPDDR3 @ 672 MHz Partitions: Never got past the initramfs, so here's df of that (the busybox version of df doesn't support -Tl) Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on none 207052 48 207004 0% /run devtmpfs 1024196 0 1024196 0% /dev Base System Installation Checklist: Initial boot: [E] Comments/Problems:My u-boot is the master branch on 33fe271278 from Thu Oct 26 21:24:31 2017 +0900hosted https://github.com/u-boot/u-boot.git The linux kernel I used is master on 15f859ae5c43 from Thu Oct 26 23:04:14 2017 +0200 hosted git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git The procedure is simple enough and doesn't differ too much from the tutorial on https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/armhf/ch05s01.html.en Since u-boot has support for my device, creating the correct u-boot config could be achieved with make Sinovoip_BPI_M3_defconfig Putting the u-boot spl to the correct offset for me device is dd if=u-boot-sunxi-with-spl.bin of=/dev/${card} bs=1024 seek=8 Then I formatted the SD card to contain one ext4 partition from sector 2048to the end of the card. It's 32 GB Samsung EVO Plus card. On the filesystem Iput the vmlinuz and the initrd.gz that I got from the netboot installer I downloaded. Since there's no device tree for my device, I compiled a linux kernel with make sunxi_defconfig and put the device tree which is located in arch/arm/boot/dts/sun8i-a83t-bananapi-m3.dtb on the SD card also. Putting the SD card in my device, I navigated the interface with uart. Since u-boot supports the Banana Pi M3, certain variables are predefined. This includes the kernel address (kernel_addr_r), the device tree address(fdt_addr_r) and the ramdisk address (ramdisk_addr_r). ${filesize} on the otherhand is automatically set for the file loaded last, so we have to load the ramdisk last. The sd card slot on the Banana Pi M3 is "mmc 0". => load mmc 0 ${kernel_addr_r} ${path_on_your_fs}/vmlinuz => load mmc 0 ${fdt_addr_r} ${path_on_your_fs}/sun8i-a83t-bananapi-m3.dtb => load mmc 0 ${ramdisk_addr_r} ${path_on_your_fs}/initrd.gz => setenv bootargs console=ttyS0,115200 rootwait panic=10 => bootz ${kernel_addr_r} ${ramdisk_addr_r}:${filesize} ${fdt_addr_r} After this sequence of inputs, I got ## Flattened Device Tree blob at 43000000 Booting using the fdt blob at 0x43000000 Loading Ramdisk to 48b66000, end 49fff009 ... OK Loading Device Tree to 48b60000, end 48b65673 ... OK Starting kernel ...Nothing more happend, waiting several minutes. I suppose CONFIG_DEBUG_LL wasn'ton in the vmlinuz I got, otherwise I might have received error messages. Not wanting to give up just then, I tried the zImage of the kernel I hadcompiled to get the device tree for my device. So only initrd.gz was from the debian site at this point, as vmlinuz and the device tree where self-compiled.To my surprise, it actually worked and I was greeted with the installer interface. Later the installer asked me for the ethernet driver, which I couldn't find in the list. It's dwmac-sun8i.ko, which is included in the kernel by CONFIG_DWMAC_SUN8I It's short description is Support for Allwinner H3 A83T A64 EMAC ethernet controllers Extracting the initrd.gz afterwards, I found that it really wasn't included.I didn't pursue the issue further, but maybe with slight changes to the kernelconfig, the debian installer could be used on this device.

If you know, that the issue you reported (and gets closed here) is still existing in recent installation images, please file a new report for that! round 5 (for Debian 7 / 8 / 9 / pre-buster ):
