Bug#928411: debian-installer: [armfh] Buster RC1: "hit any key" fails to stop autoboot sequence in SD card images
Package: debian-installer
Version: Buster RC1
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Dear Maintainer,
I tried testing Buster RC1 SD card images on BananaPI M1+.
I took the firmware from
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/firmware.BananaPro.img.gz
following
http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-armhf/current/images/netboot/SD-card-images/README.concatenateable_images.
When booting the SD card, the "Hit any key to stop autoboot:" does not
work. Key hits from the connected keyboard are ignored. The (auto)boot
sequence goes on when it should stop and give access to u-boot prompt.
This prevents using tty1 as a console as described here:
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Allwinner#Installing_from_an_SD_card_image
(no access to u-boot prompt).
This works with Stretch installer (same keyboard).
The USB keybord is detected though by Buster installer as later in the
boot sequence, it is possible to reboot the board with Ctrl-Alt-Del.
Best regards,
Frédéric Lehobey
