Re: Cubieboard (Allwinner A10, armhf) install from SD card
Hi again,
I managed to get logs for option 2 (i.e. when using the latest installer) and pasted them below.
Also I just noticed that pressing alt+F2 to F4 on my keyboard actually allows me to access the virtual terminals but I guess they are not handled by Debian Installer.
Another weird behavior is that for virtual terminal 1, the HDMI output only shows a blinking "_" while it works fine for U-Boot and the other terminals. Virtual terminal 1 (the installer GUI) only shows useful output on the serial line.
I hope this info is useful.
Thanks,
Jean
