Re: Installer images for armel, armhf and ppc64 need testing

I see, kernel recompilation then, no prebuilt packages... I'll try, thanks!

You can build your own packages,
Maybe C0rnelious,or MetaYan or ShorTie could help you, since they work more with raspberrypi's?

copy your .config file to the kernel folder, then you can explore and even make your own kernels, with the option make deb-pkg.

Also you can check this thread, for a rpi builder.., see the last comment:

Excellent news!

I've just come back to Devuan, (normally use AntiX Base), but am looking for an alternative O/S for my RPi computers, so I will definitely be giving these a go, thanks.

Nice! I've got Pi-Hole running now too, no problems at all.

Re: Installer images for armel, armhf and ppc64 need testing

Hi everyone,

Flashed the folllowing image on an SD card and launched.
devuan_beowulf_3.1.0_arm64_rpi4.img
The install starts, but I get stucked after one minute with a login and password prompt:
"BCM2711 login"
Cannot find the solution in the README.txt file. Made a quick search on google but could not find anything.

Would you happen to know what I am missing or a step I might have overlooked?

I believe that the answer is in this README.

Re: Installer images for armel, armhf and ppc64 need testing

Hi Golinux!

Thank you very much for your attention and help!

Are you referring to the following paragraph?

'The devices should startup a openssh-server, but you won't be able to login directly over ssh, as root user..
Instead, login as devuan user, and change then to root, by issuing:
'sudo su -' and typing your *devuan* password

Beowulf 3.0.0 credentials:
    devuan:'devuan'
    root  :'toor'

Beowulf 3.1.0 credentials (rpi-img-builder based):
    pi:'board' (with passwordless SUDO :-O )'

Here is what the screen displays at the step I cannot go through:

--------

Devuan GNU/Linux 3 bcn2711 tty1

bcm2711 login:
Password:

--------

After the 'bcm2711 login:' and 'Password:' command prompts, I have been trying various combinations of logins and passwords but am still getting 'Login incorrect' as a result. Am I supposed to key 'bcm2711'? 'sudo su - board'? Or 'sudo su - bcm2711'? Is the password supposed to be void?

Sorry if my question sounds 'noobish' and I certainly do not mean to waste your time. Thanks again and in advance, for your support.

Should be:
username: pi
password: board

As for sudo, it's setup so that you do not need to input a password to execute sudo.
You can find more information about the base image here: https://github.com/pyavitz/rpi-img-buil … tag/images
