I did a bit of digging too. Files in /boot are the result of rpi-update
script which is being called from freedombox-setup/setup.d/10_hardware.
Like this:
# Install binary blob and kernel needed to boot on the Raspberry Pi.
raspberry_setup_boot() {
# Packages used by rpi-update to make Raspberry Pi bootable
apt-get install -y git-core binutils ca-certificates wget kmod
wget https://raw.github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/master/rpi-update \
-O /usr/bin/rpi-update
chmod a+x /usr/bin/rpi-update
mkdir -p /lib/modules
touch /boot/start.elf
SKIP_BACKUP=1 rpi-update > /root/rpi-update.log
}
I checked the /root/rpi-update.log and understood that the 'curl'
package which was dependency. Then I realized that Petter fixed the
problem recently and that I was using an older version of
freedombox-setup. I updated to the latest and started a build again. But
that is my build problem.
The rpi-update script seems to doing quite a few things with kernel
modules in /lib/modules apart from /boot. I suppose this is why putting
valid files in /boot didn't work (and partly worked) for you.
Since your boot partition is also mostly empty, can we see your
/root/rpi-update.log?
Thank you,
