Hallo all,

an entry in /etc/modules fixed same. Thanks.

Had already uncommented the line in /etc/modules but I appreciate the assistance anyway.

Hello all,

I am running the above in an Argonone M.2 case.
To control the built-in fan (temps/speed) for the case, there is software to do this (https://gitlab.com/DarkElvenAngel/argon … -0.3.x.zip).
This setup worked flawlessly on RPIOS 64-bit.

In /boot/config.txt, I have this entry   dtparam=i2c_arm=on, however I cannot speak to the I2C bus using e.g. i2cdetect -y 1 at all.

Example -

i2cdetect -y 1
Error: Could not open file `/dev/i2c-1' or `/dev/i2c/1': No such file or directory
root@magalas:~# i2cdetect -y 0
Error: Could not open file `/dev/i2c-0' or `/dev/i2c/0': No such file or directory
root@magalas:~#

As can be seen from the above screenshot, I am dead in the water before I start...

Anyone any ideas?

Regards,

J.

Thanks to all for the assistance. Everything (LXDE & Co.) is working as it should.

Regards,

J.

c0rnelius,

thanks for the information. I was going to use chroot on another machine to change the root password. It seems there is an easier way.

Will report back.

Regards,

J.

LXDE is also working, I have no problems wuth that.

The root password I need. I also the the equivalent of the sdcard-copier as available in RASPIOS to copy the sdcard to my USB SSD drive.

Thanks!

Regards,

J.

Hallo all,

progress report:

Managed to get the WIFI working.
Installed LXDE.

Is or are there firmware update tools and utilities as present in RASP OS? i.e. raspi-config, sdcard copier etc.

Again, I need the root password.

Regards,

J

Tux3dv, thanks for the information. It works.
Now I have a headless Devuan.
I presume I can put XFCE or LXDE on same.
What is the root pw? and is there a network setup script?
Do the RPI* utilities as available on RASPI OS also work here?

Regards,

J.

PS I can use USB tethering with the smartphone initially, but a network setup script would be nice.. smile

Tux3dv, appreciate the reply thanks.

Is there an imager to write this thing to an SD-Card? Is this image USB-Boot capable?

Thanks and regards

Johnnie

Hello all,

has this thread died a death?

I have a Raspberry PI 4B (8GB) running RPIOS 64-bit using a 5.10.16v8 kernel.
I would like to install an arm64 Beowulf or Chimera on the above.
Are there any cookbooks and/or howtos to do same?

Any pointers/tips much appreciated.

Regards,

JC

Hello all,

answering my own question here...

I uninstalled grub-efi-amd64-signed and re-ran update-grub. Now, no grub prompt. Things work.

Regards,

Johnnie390

#12 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan Ceres Grub 2.02+dfsg1-8 (EFI) » 2018-12-15 11:50:57

Hello all,

which package specifically (2.02+dfsg1-9) should be installed? There are quite a few in the Grub family.

Regards,

Johnnie390

#13 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan Ceres Grub 2.02+dfsg1-8 (EFI) » 2018-12-15 11:12:35

thank you. Will do and report back.

#14 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan Ceres Grub 2.02+dfsg1-8 (EFI) » 2018-12-15 10:38:22

Hello all,

still landing in the grub prompt... Any pointers/ideas?

Regards,

Johnnie390

#15 Re: Hardware & System Configuration » Devuan Ceres Grub 2.02+dfsg1-8 (EFI) » 2018-12-10 06:57:32

Thanks for the reply. Does not help me much though.

Irrespective of the grub directory being in the esp/efi.. tree, I am still stumped. Did you read the link I provided on other person's woes?

Regards,

Hello all,

after upgrading Ascii to Ceres (in situ), all went well for a week or so. Last week, after an apt upgrade, the abovementioned Grub version was installed. This leads to a  Grub prompt after boot. Regress/fallback to Grub 2.02~beta3-5 does not help (Grub prompt). Anyone else experiencing same?

I have done the usual grub-install, update-grub stuff etc. with no (apparent) errors. See below -

LC_ALL=C  grub-install  --target=x86_64-efi --bootloader=devuan

Efibootmgr reports -

From the Grub prompt -

set pager=1
set root=(md/0)
linux /boot/vmlinux..... root=/dev/md0
initrd /boot/initrd...
boot

will bring the system up. For obvious reasons, I would prefer to avoid this. smile

It would seem I am not alone here -

Any pointers much appreciated.
