Hi. I'm trying to install Devuan Chimaera on a Banana Pi R1 board, also known as a Lamobo R1: https://linux-sunxi.org/Lamobo_R1
I've previously been using it with Bananian (https://www.bananian.org/ seems to be pretty broken at present), but since I use Devuan on everything else I have, I'd like to switch this device over as well. I'm fetching the files from http://deb.devuan.org/devuan/dists/chimaera /main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/ I download firmware.Lamobo_R1.img.gz and partition.img.gz I create the SD image with zcat firmware.Lamobo_R1.img.gz partition.img.gz >chimaera.img I write it to the SD card with dd if=chimaera.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 I insert it into the Banana, together with a USB keyboard and an HDMI screen, power it up and I see some boot messages, which are pretty rapidly replaced with a menu asking me which language I wish to use. So far, so good :) The keyboard doesn't work. (It works on any other computer) I'm using a 3A PSU for the Banana, and for now there is no HDD attached, so I'm pretty certain that power is not a problem. The USB port and an attached keyboard work fine under Bananian. Can anyone offer suggestions on what to try next, to get the installer able to read the keyboard? I can mount the partition that's been created on the SD card on the machine I wrote it with, and it contains: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1575 Jul 10 06:50 boot.scr drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 75264 Jul 10 06:50 dtbs -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23648046 Jul 10 06:50 initrd.gz -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 4968960 Jul 10 06:50 vmlinuz Maybe there's something there I can edit there to get the keyboard working? Thanks, Antony. -- The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
