DietPi-Installer | Add support for Amlogic S9xx TV boxes #7039
Comments
The error you pasted is unrelated. Obviously, These Amlogic S905 TV boxes seem to use cat /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf ... ah, or probably this is the issue?
Checking ln -f "${initramfs}" "${initramfs_bak}" \
|| cp -a "${initramfs}" "${initramfs_bak}" So similar to our script, when generating the link fails, the file is copied instead. So both errors are not related. Can you also show the content of ls -l /boot And is there a way to attach a UART adapter to check serial console output? |
Okay, everything looks fine, all files are present/have been renamed as they should, extlinux uses them and U-Boot loads all of them. Only problem is that the kernel for some reason hangs on startup. Since there was a kernel upgrade, could you test |
Sorry for the misunderstanding, all the things in my previous message was from the original armbian image. I found the issue: this is the boot folder just after running the dietpi conversion script (and before reboot):
you can see the script removed 3 files related to amlogic boot: That's why it can't boot anymore. I copied them back from the original armbian image and then diepi boot correctly! I don't understand why the script removed these files. |
Hmm, our script does not actively remove those files, so I guess they are part of a DEB package, which contains them. It might the the Armbian BSP package. ... indeed, it is |
Tv boxes are a mess :( I also have random kernel panic when booting, also with pure armbian image, so it's not really usable for now. |
Indeed they are. Vendors care even less about (mainline/recent) Linux support than in case of SBCs, and the amount of technically-wised users per box (to care about and e.g. port device trees and drivers) is much lower. At least we know now which files are missing after the conversion, and why. |

I see these error messages in the script:

Is it related to changes to boot process in recent armbian builds?
armbian/build#4938

armbian/build#6215
armbian/build#6287
What can I do to fix this?
