Won't boot, black screen

[mdk]

Solved my issue. Since yesterday I was wondering how u-boot passed arguments to the kernel, as I was not seeing them in extlinux.conf, it looked like:

Code:

label l0
    menu label Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid 5.15-sunxi64
    linux /vmlinuz-5.15-sunxi64
    initrd /initrd.img-5.15-sunxi64

    append root=/dev/mapper/calamares_crypt ro quiet

I was like "OK 'append' but where are the others"?

Doodling around the u-boot documentation and things, I spotted:

Code:

root@seraph:/# apt-cache policy u-boot-menu

u-boot-menu:
  Installed: 4.1.0
  Candidate: 4.1.0
  Version table:
*** 4.1.0 990
        990 http://deb.debian.org/debian bookworm/main arm64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
    4.0.4mobian1 990
        990 http://repo.mobian-project.org bookworm/main arm64 Packages

So I promptly ran:

Code:

apt install u-boot-menu=4.0.4mobian1
u-boot-update

Rebooted, and boom, solved.


In case someone needs to do it too, I'm doing it over USB mass storage, (hold volume up in tow-boot until the 2nd vibration, or via Jump Drive), I installed

Code:

apt install qemu-user-static binfmt-support

So I can run binaries via qemu, and then just run:

Code:

mount --bind /dev /media/mdk/root/dev/
mount --bind /sys /media/mdk/root/sys/
mount --bind /proc /media/mdk/root/proc/
mount --bind /media/mdk/boot /media/mdk/root/boot/
chroot /media/mdk/root/

to chroot myself in my phone.


So, let's go read /var/log/apt/history.log:

Code:

Start-Date: 2022-06-25  08:23:26

and here we are, u-boot-menu upgraded from 4.0.4 (mobian side) to 4.1.0 (debian side).
