Re: [DNG] Running Devuan on a BeagleBone Black?

There was an SD-card image available a few months ago, but I can't find it again (and it didn't work very well anyway). Does anyone know where I can find a suitable image or installer? Do any of the provided ones work for BBB? Better yet, can anyone recommend a howto or something similar? I would be interested in learning exactly what is needed to boot and run an OS on an ARM SBC (u-boot? .dtb files? other things I don't know?). Take a look at https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk lot of information and the name of the developers. I was able to build a devuan image for the beaglebone black using the arm-sdk. However I run into several issues. I reported the most critical on git.devuan.org. Hopefully they will be fixed soon. If not already merged, you can grab the fixes I provided here: https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk/merge_requests/1 https://git.devuan.org/sdk/arm-sdk/merge_requests/2 For the compilation of the kernel, you should also install the "bc" package on your build machine. And enable inside "arm-sdk/config" the toolchain "## custom toolchain (armv7+armhf; gcc 4.9.3)" instead of the default "## devuan packaged toolchain".

[DNG] Jessie 1.0.1 misconfigured GRUB
After installing Jessie 1.0.1, I tried to boot to it. I can do it from a GRUB menu on another disk (Debian Wheezy), but not the Devuan Jessie disk. I do not use UEFI, and I installed amd64 from ISO on a key. I get: "error: file `boot/grub/i386-pc/normal.mod not found' I assume the error means GRUB does not know where to find the normal command. That should be a simple matter of fixing GRUB configuration. However, no luck. The problem is that when I to bring up the GRUB menu with a boot, it takes me to grub rescue> prompt. I want grub> instead, but don't know how to get it. I tried SHFT, c and C as GRUB loaded, but still did not get the grub> prompt. I tried # update-grub and # aptitude install grub2, but that did not change things. How do I get the grub> prompt instead of grub rescue>? I don't understand why it seeks i386-pc normal command when I'm running amd64. Or is this normal? grub rescue> ls command lists the expected devices, but not vmlinuz etc. Haines Brown ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
