Mouse and keyboard don't work anymore after having recompiled your kernel 5.4.244

Hello.

I'm still trying to enable KVM on a more recent kernel version,to be precise on the 5.4.244. Quickly this is what I did :

  1. I have formatted my sd card following the procedure explained by the v.o.s website. I mean this is what I did :

In the uboot source directory:

$ sudo ./scripts/sdcard.sh /dev/sdX

This will erase all data and create 4 partitions in the medium, along with copying the u-boot binary to the first partition:

a) ChromeOS signed binary (vos chained u-boot)

b) Partition 2 not used

c) EXT2 partition for u-boot files (here I have copied your zImage (converted in uImage and your exynos5250-snow.dtb files). I've got the zip file that you created for me one month ago,here :

https://github.com/quarkscript/linux-armv7-xe303c12-only/files/11615040/5.4.244-kvm.zip

I have decompress it and I've got the zImage file that was stored inside the deb file. Since I want to use u-boot,I have converted zImage into uImage using the following command :

# mkimage -A arm -O linux -T kernel -C none -a 0x80008000 -e 0x80008000 -n "Linux kernel" -d zImage uImage

d) EXT4 partition for userspace files. Here I have copied the devuan 4 userland files that I've got here :

https://drive.google.com/u/0/uc?id=1KSgE-3G2GEBzcYhk_JleVYWl6m061GdI&export=download

but I haven't used a btrfs fs,but ext4. And I have extended the space on the partition from 1882M to 200 GB.

  1. sudo dd if=nv_uboot-snow.kpart of=/dev/sdX1 (nv_uboot-snow.kpart taken from the vos website)

what happened ? that the chromebook booted and the desktop enviroment also started. Unfortunately mouse and keyboard and trackpad don't work,so I can't check if kvm exists. But I think that there is an high chance that it works. Why keyboard,mouse and trackpad don't work ? maybe that when you have re-compiled your 5.4.244 kernel,you haven't enabled the drivers ? Previously I had configured the SSH server on the Chromebook,but I can't connect to it because it is enabled only when I will able to overcome the login screen. Can you suggest something to try ?

NB : I have enabled the automatic login and I saw :

  1. mouse,wi-fi and keypad don't work : I have no connection
  2. the screensaver starts after some time,so the OS is not freezed.
