Bootargs in RPI not working
Hi, I have U-Boot 2022.10 version. I am trying to boot Raspberry Pi(Model 3B+) using U-Boot. In the U-Boot terminal when I set kernel command-line arguments, using "setenv bootargs root=/dev/mmblk0p3 ro rootwait console=serial0,115200 console=tty1", the Kernel is not loaded. Following are the messages I get on the U-boot terminal " EFI stub: Booting Linux Kernel... EFI stub: EFI_RING_PROTOCOL unavailable EFI stub: Using DTB from configuration table EFI stub: exiting boot services..." When I do not add any bootargs variables to U-Boot environment, Pi boots with Linux. Am I missing something? I am not able to figure out the reason for this. Could you help me with this? -- Regards, Sai Kiran.
Create a Virtual NVME Disk
Hi, I am Sai Kiran. I have built qemu from source on a Linux based machine. I want to create a virtual NVME disk on my system, using QEMU. The documentation I have seen in QEMU so far discusses providing a virtual nvme disk to a VM. I do not want to give the virtual nvme to a VM. I want it on my host. In other words, I want to see the virtual NVME disk under /dev folder. I could not create the virtual nvme disk using the qemu-img command. I have just started working with QEMU, to create virtual disks. I am not quite sure how to create a virtual nvme disk on the host itself, using qemu. It would be of great help to me if someone could show me how to do this. Thanks in advance for your help and support. -- Regards, Sai Kiran.
Re: Xen Booting Problem on ARM Machine
Hi, Thanks for your inputs. As you have mentioned, I tried to boot Xen directly from EFI, thereby skipping GRUB. I made sure that kernel, xen.cfg and ramdisk are on the first FAT partition. I still get "All 128 bootinfo membanks exhausted error". The following link has my grub.cfg config. file and also the snapshot of the error. Link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1o7WT5oB7UsaZBeY5m4mWSidT5NalzvvJ?usp=sharing I feel that even with EFI bootloader, there's some issue with bootinfo mem banks and it maynot be a bug in GRUB. Let me know your thoughts on this. Thanks in advance, Regards, Sai Kiran.

It looks like LInux is booting from ACPI. In the bootloader menu, "Automatic ACPI configuration" is disabled. So, I thought that Linux may be booting from Device Tree. I have tried the "dtc" command you mentioned. But it looks like there's no device-tree under "/proc". I also tried to get DT info, from "/sys/firmware/devicetree/base" . But, there's no info. under devicetree folder. I am not quite sure how to get the DT info, if the Linux is booting from ACPI.

[git-users] GIT Private Server on FreeBSD
Hii I am trying to set up a private git server on FreeBSD Machine. I am trying to use smart-http to authenticate. I am attaching apache configuration file(httpd.conf) in "/usr/local/etc/apache24/". My git repos are present inside the folder: /home/git/repos/ test.git is a bare repository. I have set http.receivepack to true in my repo. I am able to clone the repo from another host. But when I try to push the changes, I get the following error: "error: Cannot access URL http://192.168.1.9:80/git/test.git/, return code 22 fatal: git-http-push failed error: failed to push some refs to 'http://192.168.1.9:80/git/test.git/; I have spent several days, editing the Apache config. settings, but with no use.

Re: Xen Booting Problem on ARM Machine
Hi, Sorry about the delay. We have been trying to access the serial of the machine. Tried with couple of JTAG connectors. There's still no debug messages on the serial. Is there any other way of figuring this out? On Wed, Sep 15, 2021, 7:02 AM Stefano Stabellini wrote: > Something is off.
