Pine A64+ Gigabit issue...

[rhkean]

I was just surprised that there wasn't a development thread dedicated to it...

That's since none of the developers is able to reproduce the issue. It's really that easy

This is from 2 months ago: https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine6...e/issues/5

And this from a few days ago: http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?t...05#pid7605

thanks for the links... I just noticed this post (at midnight), so I review them tomorrow.

I can reproduce:
debian-mate-jessie-20160422-lenny.raposo-longsleep-pine64-8GB.img

ethernet to TP-Link TL-SG1008D 8-Port Gigabit Desktop Switch
boot
switch to tty1
login
apt-get update

--------------
OR
use longsleep's simple image from 4/23
replace initrd with ubuntu's arm64 netboot initrd (tweek to uEnv.txt required)
boot (with UART)
start install
will hang during download

I switched out the gigabit switch for an old 100mbps switch, and I haven't hung once.
