#1 Devuan » Inst manpages-de 4.9.1-5 causes Remv xorg, initramfs-tools, etc. » 2021-02-18 11:33:13

I came across with a strange behavior installing the newest version of manpages-de:

An installation of manpages-de 4.9.1-5 causes to remove more then 50 packages among which are xorg, linux-image, eudev, cryptsetup-initramfs, udev, procps, initramfs-tools, firefox-esr, openssh-server, cups etc.

First I struggled over a strange behavior updating psmisc, cf. the situation in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo … bug=982059

This affects Devuan Ceres system, but not Beowulf.

Debian Sid seems not to be affected.

bug number #552

forgot to answer, everything works fine with your above instruction, therion23
(clean install is sometimes better ;-) )

the only thing I don't understand is what you mean with

- Double check your /boot/cmdline.txt - especially the root= setting.

cf. with my output post #16

Anyway, everything works great, thanks for the instruction

thanks, tuxd3v,  thought I have to remove it after download big_smile

worked well

WLAN I will set up later. Firstly, the Pi is connected via LAN. I thought, I can grab the working SD Card form the 1 GB version with devuan, plug in into the 2 GB Pi and get started.

Maybe that's the point. The 1 GB Pi has a wlan1 interface, and my Pi2 a wlan2. However, since I use both as WLAN AP, I bridged those interfaces with eth0 to the bridge interface br0 which is the only one to ask the DHCP server. The only explanation I have, is that the bridge does not succeed on the 2 GB having a wlan0 interface, and thus does not ask for an IP address.

I should better start with a blank SD card.

Btw: clean Raspbian or yan's image from https://dev1galaxy.org/viewtopic.php?id=3209&p=3 worked well

Do you have a wlan0 interface at all?

Thanks for your reply. I'm really confused about what's going on. I'm able to boot raspbian and also made an EEPROM update using stable/pieeprom-2020-04-16.bin as explained.

The ouput of $ vcgencmd bootloader_config changed from

BOOT_UART=0
WAKE_ON_GPIO=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0
FREEZE_VERSION=0

to

[all]
BOOT_UART=0
WAKE_ON_GPIO=1
POWER_OFF_ON_HALT=0
DHCP_TIMEOUT=45000
DHCP_REQ_TIMEOUT=4000
TFTP_FILE_TIMEOUT=30000
TFTP_IP=
TFTP_PREFIX=0
BOOT_ORDER=0x1
SD_BOOT_MAX_RETRIES=3
NET_BOOT_MAX_RETRIES=5
[none]
FREEZE_VERSION=0

However, I'm not able to see devuan receiving an ip address. Also tried the SD card with devuan from Raspi4 - 1GB without success in my Pi4 - 2 GB.

Mine is a 4GB model, but i doubt it makes any difference. Tell me where it breaks for you and i'll try to think of a solution.

It boots up wright on the Pi2, but on the Pi4 (2GB) it does not receive an IP-address 

# uname -a
Linux devuan 4.19.75-v7+ #1270 SMP Tue Sep 24 18:45:11 BST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

# cat /boot/cmdline.txt

On the Pi4 with 1GB everything works fine even with ascii (and newest hostapd). But the same card does not receive an IP on the version with 2GB of memory.

If you have a Pi 2 1.0 or 1.1, the easiest way of making a bootable SD card for the Pi 4 is like this:

- Grab a Devuan image for Pi 2 (sorry, 32 bit only when doing this on a Pi 2). For some reason i could never boot the Ascii image on my Pi 2, but Jessie worked fine.
- Boot it on your Pi 2 and set up networking.
- From http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/p … -firmware/ get raspberrypi-bootloader and raspberrypi-kernel - make sure they have matching version numbers and not older than 20190620.
- From http://archive.raspberrypi.org/debian/p … e-nonfree/ get the latest firmware-brcm80211.
- install all three with dpkg.

If it boots right, you should be running 4.19.50-v7l+. Shutdown, put the card into your Pi 4 and boot it up.

does this procedure only work with the version with 1GB of memory? I have no success with the 2GB version, or should I also upgrade to boewulf or even ceres? I'll try out and report.

I followed therion23's description, raspi 4 boots up, looks nice, thanks!
However, I cannot set up WLAN AP. I even played with newer kernels and newest firmware.

an upgrade of hostapd to version 2.6 did the job:
