As of 12/11/12, this seems to still be happening with a fresh install of precise.
1) flash ubuntu-12.04-preinstalled-desktop-armhf+omap4.img 2) boot pandaboard, run os configuration 3) sudo apt-get dist-upgrade 4) sudo apt-add-repository ppa:tiomap-dev/release 5) sudo apt-get install ubuntu-omap4-extras 6) boom, pvr-omap4-dkms fails to build In addition, after this (a) the dpkg database behaves strangely for a while, seems to be locked when I didn't expect anything to be using it; may be becuase the gui "your system has had an error" bugreporter thing kicks in and takes a *long* time to do its thing (b) booting the new kernel is very unstable, on one attempt it was hanging reliably at boot with something like"kernel BUG linux-ti- omap4-3.4.0 page_alloc.c". On one try (it takes about 2h for each attempted install) I tried removing linux-headers-3.2.0-*-omap as Ricardo suggested in bug 1033091 and then reinstalling pvr-omap4-dkms; then I got it to boot further but system was still unstable, kernel crashing with other mm looking error messages. I just found http://askubuntu.com/questions/201981/pandaboard-crash-on-startup-or- freeze-after-minutes which basically suggests mem=1G@0x80000000 and u -boot-linaro-omap4-panda, maybe will try that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/960770 Title: Packages requiring dkms at Pandaboard (omap 4) will also pull linux- headers-generic because current dkms dependencies To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dkms/+bug/960770/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
