Jessie on APM Mustang - issues



Hi

I just installed Debian 'jessie' on APM Mustang (arm64) and there is a bunch of things to share.

Do not use netinst CD image on USB - there is no USB Platform support in 3.16 so installer is not able to find CD. But mini.iso works fine.

Installer images need to have "console=ttyS0,115200" in GRUB config otherwise it is not possible to control installation.

There is no EFI RTC driver in kernel so time is not read from RTC:

root@debian:/home/hrw# dmesg|grep rtc
[ 0.227754] /build/linux-IY8iTn/linux-3.16.7-ckt9/drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0)
root@debian:/home/hrw# date
Thu Jan  1 01:09:58 CET 1970

Kernel is unable to reboot machine. Reset button is needed.

1GbE is as eth1 instead of eth0. Udev fault:

# Unknown net device (/devices/soc/17020000.ethernet/net/eth0) (xgene-enet)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:01:73:02:0b:73", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth0"

# Unknown net device (/devices/soc/17020000.ethernet/net/eth0) (xgene-enet)
SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:01:73:02:0b:73", ATTR{dev_id}=="0x0", ATTR{type}=="1", KERNEL=="eth*", NAME="eth1"


So far that's all.
