All that is in the dir is directories.  No files.

I guess I am going to have to email parazyd.

What do I know?  In any case, the sym link points to something that isn't there.  (:>)

More of the same issue.

You can see the problem.  I just don't know how to fix it.  Well I do, but I have no idea where to get the correct file(s).

I am attempting to build a driver for the 8812 USB wifi device.

Can anyone help with a quick how-to?

I found this link for the Raspberry Pi, but that does not work with Devuan for obvious reasons.

One of the reasons is /lib/modules/build.   It is a sym linked to /home/paralyzd/arm-sdk....

This is for the Raspberry Pi 2 (32 bit) Jessie release.

I have tried to keep an open mind about systemd but when I cannot rely on it to shutdown a system without hanging, then I am done with it.  I have had more issues with systemd than I ever had with sysv-init.  As long as Devuan exists and stays as good as it is, I will stick with it.   I plan to move away from ubuntu to Devuan for all of my servers.

#6 Re: Installation » [Solved] [User Error] Kernel panic booting raspi2 image » 2018-03-23 05:49:28

I had the same issue when I tried to install the raspi2 image on a "B".

Use the raspi1 image.  The website should be a little more descriptive which image is for which PI.

The name auto.mirror. should still resolve or an alias put in to point to the new repository.  The average schmuck will just give up and move on to something else.

auto.mirror.devuan.org does not resolve.  The backup nameserver does resolve it but not the primary.  This is a BIG problem as simple things like apt-get update will not run.

I fixed it by putting the IP address in my /etc/hosts file.
