I'm trying to boot NixOS on my rpi 3B+ but am stuck on "Starting kernel ...". Also no further output on UART. Any idea?
<samueldr>
dotlambda: wait a long time
<samueldr>
I haven't yet confirmed
<samueldr>
but I think the console arguments may be wrong and it's currently in stage-1 resizing partitions :/
<samueldr>
and I can't confirm for a 3B+ as I only have a 3B
<dotlambda>
samueldr: How long? I've already waited ~20min
<samueldr>
oh, definitely less than that
<samueldr>
I am uncertain as to what's the actual current status of the 3B+, but I think it should be working :/
* samueldr
checks to buy a 3b+
<samueldr>
hmm, not sure I want to at the cost, considering what I'd do with it
<samueldr>
(mostly check whether nixos works :/)
<dotlambda>
I'll now try the (no longer necessary) workaround image and hope it'll magically work

<samueldr>
this makes me want to build some kind of affordable testing infra for SBCs so a complete image can be tested remotely
<gchristensen>
I've got some work towards that here
<samueldr>
but uh, kinda difficult to do is you want to test booting on real SD without burning the fuses to usb or network boot the pi
<samueldr>
if you want*
<gchristensen>
annoying to test but I have some work towards it. using a serial monitor and netboot
<samueldr>
usb could be doable using a usb gadget and another device
<samueldr>
(so you are not forced to rely on the results of netboot)
<samueldr>
(usb gadget as in linux usb gadget)
<gchristensen>
that seems cool
<dotlambda>
Sounds like a neat idea. I have a spare BananaPi that could be used for that.
<samueldr>
though usb gadgets mostly means two SBCs per target, the target one, and another for usb gadget, unless there's known hardware with multiple usb devices that can be used as gadget *thing*
<samueldr>
the gadget-sbc would be for all intents and purposes a usb drive
<dotlambda>
Maybe the people from e.g. armbian have some testing infrastructure we could copy
<samueldr>
maybe!

i am getting a compile error when trying to build uhub for aarch64, instead of just excluding aarch64 i would like to fix the build : https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/pull/48021 . anyone had similar issues before with a different package?
