Comments/Problems:
I encounter a consistent kernel oops when trying to install Debian onto
a SolidRun ClearFog Base device. I previously attempted installation
using the Buster Alpha 4 version of the installer, and have just
retested using Alpha 5 version and get the same result. This particular
device is using a self-compiled U-Boot version based on upstream sources
at v2018.11.
To prepare the installation media, I downloaded the armhf hd-media
archive [1], and then unpacked the contents into a single ext4 partition
on a micro SD card. I then copied the armhf netinst ISO image to the
root of the filesystem.
The installer boots successfully, goes through the language selection
and location prompts, then proceeds to mount the mmcblk0 device, find
the ISO image, and cycles through "Loading additional components". When
it completes component loading, it proceed to detecting network devices,
at which point I get a kernel oops dump like the one below. The
installation happens via serial (USB FTDI) connection, so I apologize
for the corruption in the capture of the message.
