Networking errors interfering with boot on PinePhone Pro

Open sbischoff-ai opened this issue 11 months ago • 0 comments

I just used the installer to install NixOS Mobile on my PinePhone Pro using the pine64-pinephonepro device settings.

When booting NixOS, as soon as the log says "Starting Modem Manager" I start receiving a lot of lines like this: [ 149656996] brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0xd090 fail, reason -52

The boot-up continues, though, and I see tty2 showing me a mobile-nixos login: prompt but I never see a login screen to enter my password using an on-screen keyboard. Instead, I see many more of the brcmf_set_channel lines filling up the screen. Trying to connect a keyboard via USB-C port and log in doesn't work either. The keyboard isn't recognized and/or the terminal is unresponsive.

Those errors being logged in the terminal seem to be a networking issue (Broadcom driver) and might be unconnected to the login screen failing to show. I'm not sure whether it's those logs preventing me from logging in via terminal.
