20:47 <balsoft> samueldr: Operation seemed to succeed, but now it just kernel panics again

20:48 <balsoft> I think what I need to do is to build a custom sunxi kernel

20:48 <balsoft> But this seems strange, as Ubuntu seems to use mainline kernel

20:48 <samueldr> balsoft: where did you download that ubuntu image?

20:49 <samueldr> and how do you verify it's mainline or not?

20:50 <balsoft> Well, I downloaded it from official orangepi website

20:50 <balsoft> And I _think_ it's mainline cause it comes with dtb

20:51 <balsoft> And sunxi kernels don't need dtb's for their devices (I _think_ so)

20:51 <samueldr> anything aarch64 AFAIK will come with *.dtb

20:51 <samueldr> though I think you're right for older allwinner devices

20:52 <samueldr> balsoft: ubuntu desktop from their site?

20:53 <balsoft> Server

20:59 <balsoft> samueldr: Ubuntu server from official website

21:00 <samueldr> Ubuntu_Server_Xenial_PC2_V0_9_0.img[.xz] I gather

21:00 <samueldr> I'll peek in the image see if it's mainline, but I'm betting it isn't since it comes from orangepi

21:21 balsoft_ is now known as balsoft

21:27 <samueldr> seems to be using https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/OrangePiH5_kernel

21:28 <balsoft> Oh, thanks

21:28 <balsoft> Is this even remotely possible to build on Nixos?

21:28 <samueldr> a history-less kernel, based on an older release (3.10.65) so almost 100% certain to be based off of downstream allwinner's own fork

21:29 <samueldr> it is, though not obvious necessarily, and I don't have a clean demo :/

21:29 <samueldr> I'm not sure what I'm doing for recent forks will work for 3.10

21:29 <balsoft> Welp...

21:29 <samueldr> https://nixos.wiki/wiki/NixOS_on_ARM/PINE_A64-LTS#Downstream_kernel

21:30 <samueldr> you can try it using an overlay like that one

21:30 <samueldr> but as I said, maybe it will, maybe it won't work with 3.10

21:39 <balsoft> Thanks a lot, gonna try it

22:05 <samueldr> http://forum.banana-pi.org/t/check-it-out-banana-pi-24-core-arm-server/7530

22:05 <samueldr> https://www.cnx-software.com/2018/12/26/banana-pi-24-core-arm-server/

22:06 <samueldr> looks like the board can handle 30GiB of ram
