hmm. I don't kno what's going on yet but I am getting much further on this qemu-system-aarch64 using 'rpi2' than I did building on the actual bananapi m64 ...
<samrose>
my guess is these modules that failed to load because they are not intended to be used with the aarch64 hardware: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1777334/raw
<samrose>
samueldr: yes I am trying to use that command. I am trying to run the command in a machine running in qemu-system-aarch64. My goal in running it is to build an image that uses 4.19 kernel since you all mentioned these are stuck at 4.18.x https://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/tmtynkky/nixos-arm/installer/
* samueldr
is waiting on a repo update locally to check something
<samrose>
if I can achieve building sd-image-aarch64-linux.img with 4.19 then I may be able to finally install on bananapi m64
<samueldr>
though I must say I'll be executing the command on my pine64, which runs on aarch64, if it changes anything
<samrose>
samueldr: I did get this command to execute on bananapim64 but it failed to build an image
<samrose>
I will try this later tonight or tomorrow on the bpi64 hardware. I was using a fork and branch of my own from my efforts to do u-boot buld
* samueldr
starts the equivalent build on nixos-18.09
<samrose>
*build
<samueldr>
though I think the kernel will be 4.18 without patches
<samrose>
I think you are right
<samueldr>
unless someone backported 4.19... I really need to ask the one doing the updates about that
<samrose>
samueldr: you are also the release manager of 18.09 yes? (just asking in general I thought I saw that somewhere)
<samueldr>
yes :)
<samueldr>
it's not an issue yet, but will be once 4.18 isn't maintained anymore, as it _latest then would be either an unmaintained, or downgraded (at that point it'll be a big issue)
<samueldr>
my main issue is to synchronize thoughts with the human doing the updates to all branches :)
<samueldr>
(and AFAIK they're not on IRC)
<gchristensen>
seems to me _latest should stay latest
<samueldr>
exactly
<gchristensen>
nequissemes (sp?) sometimes gets on IRC
<samueldr>
never caught 'em on IRC
<gchristensen>
maybe before your time then :)
<samueldr>
I mean, I'm not *always* on IRC either
<samueldr>
and hide joins/parts!
<samueldr>
👀
<samrose>
right on understood! many moving pieces @samueldr
