I've tried booting on 4.2.0-0:
Boot get a long time on "Mounted Configuration File System", before get like Robert:
I tested the new kernel on my Cubietruck and was able to boot after manually generating the initramfs using the command
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- dracut --verbose /boot/initramfs-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl.img 4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have the package dracut-config-generic-033-240.el7.armv7hl installed. Make sure you have it too. I am not sure if that's the source of the problem.
The entry in /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf created by the rbfkernelup yum plugin is ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- label Derived from Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 (Source) 4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl kernel /vmlinuz-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl append enforcing=0 root=UUID=34fa4504-d4ae-4d17-9c07-4c56a5f8f614 fdtdir /dtb-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl initrd /initramfs-4.2.0-0.rc2.git0.1.centos.el7.armv7hl.img ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You will have the change the UUID as per your board.
However, I am not able to use ethernet with the new kernel. I haven't looked into it in detail but preliminary debugging shows the module stmmac_platform.ko not loading. I get this error ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [root@cubietruck ~]# modprobe stmmac_platform [ 114.508483] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol devm_kmalloc (err 0) [ 114.521212] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol stmmac_suspend (err 0) [ 114.533718] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol platform_get_irq_byname (err 0) [ 114.546855] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol stmmac_dvr_remove (err 0) [ 114.559331] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol platform_get_resource (err 0) [ 114.572149] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol of_get_phy_mode (err 0) [ 114.584331] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol of_property_read_u32_array (err 0) [ 114.597508] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol of_alias_get_id (err 0) [ 114.609629] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol stmmac_resume (err 0) [ 114.621533] stmmac_platform: Unknown symbol stmmac_dvr_probe (err 0) modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'stmmac_platform': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
