What defconfig you used? what gcc you used? what u-boot...
Please don't truncate the boot log

• https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/blob/master/core/linux-odroid-xu3/config
• Built with the gcc-14.1.1+r1+g43b730b9134-1-armv7h package
• Presumably the uboot-odroid-xu3 2018.01-2 package

@bwcknr and/or @kyak, could you provide the logs requested?

[polyzen]

Unrelated, but could you confirm the kernel built from the odroid-6.6.y branch should be used for N2 devices as well? That would mean https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/core/linux-odroid-n2 could be removed.

Edit: Unless perhaps they should use the generic https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/core/linux-armv7

[mdrjr]

Yes, we are using odroid-6.6.y for C4 Series, N2 Series and XU4.
I can't reproduce your issue with HC1 using odroid-6.6.y branch.

Sure, here you go!

@mdrjr thanks for still supporting the eol'ed platform

My HC1 refuses to boot with exact same error (won't duplicate logs).

[polyzen]

I learned how to properly use defconfig's now 😅. Please try linux-odroid-xu3 6.6.44-1 @wickner-consid @kyak

What defconfig you used?

odroidxu4_defconfig. Previously I had copied the defconfig rather than using make ARCH=arm odroidxu4_defconfig, and during the build I had to provide some decisions when prompted for some configurations options. I had used the other kernel configs in https://github.com/archlinuxarm/PKGBUILDs/tree/master/core to fill in those answers. With a fresh .config created with make ARCH=arm odroidxu4_defconfig, now I only had to adjust CONFIG_LOCALVERSION.

The package config had also been missing these changes:

@mdrjr -

Yes, we are using odroid-6.6.y for C4 Series, N2 Series and XU4.
I can't reproduce your issue with HC1 using odroid-6.6.y branch.

Do you know if this branch will work with the C1 or C2?

Sadly I have to report the issue on the current kernel too.
This is my HC1 crash log on 6.6.50-3: kernel_panic.log
The issue seems to lie in the same function as before, at least the virtual address, *pgd and *pmd are all the same.
I would be happy to try and debug if you can give me any pointers.

In the meantime, could somebody point me in the right direction on how to compile a working kernel from an x86 system 😅 ?

If you need any kernel, then regular linux-armv7 on Arch Linux ARM works fine for me.

This vendor kernel still doesn't work for me (same crash as your's).

[Basanites]

Ah nice, thanks for the super quick reply and info! (and sorry for the ping, forgot you would be notified from the quote)

Follow up to that:
Is there any way you can recommend to me, to get that installed on my board? I full on can't boot right now and don't have a backup which includes the kernel.

Do you know of any way or just suck it up and reinstall from scratch with the linux-armv7 package?

[mdrjr]

One question, are you guys using xu4 dtb or hc1 dtb?
