Use the mainline kernel
Hey, could you alter the script to install nv_uboot on the first partition which loads the kernel from a second boot partition as in the script from omgmog? The reason why I ask is, you can't install the mainline kernel (linux-armv7-chromebook) from the archlinuxarm repo. Google's uboot won't load a kernel apart from 3.8. This is just "nice to have" since the standard kernel runs fine... Anyway thanks for the nice script. Regards, Peter
Kernel panic occurs after "pacman -Syu". Not sure if it is related to the same issue, happens with both this script and the one from the archarm wiki. Currently only running off a USB, until issues from archarm repos get fixed. What problem are you running pjaneck? I would like to recreate to see if indeed its uboot and not something from the repos themselves.
Ahh interesting both of these, I'll try and look at this but it may be awhile before I have time.
@pjaneck I didn't know uboot wouldn't boot non 3.8, will look into it
@Erickitgeek can you get me some more info on kernel versions please, could just be an arch bug as that certainly worked the last time I ran it (months ago tho lol)
@starkers kernel version is 3.8.11, I know most people don't have this chromebook anymore but there are few who do like me lol. I ended up installing from the ArchARM wiki with only modifying the "tar -xf" to "tar -zxvf" for unpacking.
It's been a year but I am leaving this comment for anyone who still might need it.
PS: don't install mainline kernel
Cheers Erick, I still use mine too, hopefully I can find time this weekend to fix this up, if its a trivial thing though please feel free to point me at the lines you'd like changed!
I will give the code a look this weekend if I have a chance. I will keep you posted.
