Rpi4 64 bit image not working

[ljones0]

Hello!

Had a problem trying to create a 64 bit image for the raspberry pi 4 - the image did not boot at all. But partway through I saw the following;

[code]

• Restart config...
• Ethernet Bridge nf_tables support

Not sure about those warnings and then it suddenly ended up going into an interactive kernel configuration.

Hi,
I compiled a buster 64 yesterday with a kernel 5.4 without problem (with the 2 pull requests I have propose included) and it boots perfectly. Maybe an issue with some options or choices. I accept the nf_tables option and it is not compiled as a module maybe it is the cause of the warnings you are quoting....
I had the same issue and in my case when the pi4 was not booting it was due to the missing instructions decribed in #212 , after addind the lines proposed everything was OK. Please try it that may confirm my pul request.

Thanks

ok I gave the files at https://github.com/g-vidal/rpi23-gen-image (#212) but I still got the same messages regarding nf_tables and the pi still didn't want to boot x.x

the override in kernel config is ok most of the time. do i understand correctly: the image compiles fine but does not boot? would you post your config?

did you enable KERNEL_MENUCONFIG and set it to true instead of false?

Wouldn't the config file be too long to post here? BTW you are correct; the image compiles fine but does not boot.

Nope, didn't change that at all I did not touch it.

.config:1188⚠️ symbol value 'm' invalid for NF_TABLES_BRIDGE
.config:2467⚠️ symbol value 'm' invalid for MT76_LEDS
.config:3849⚠️ symbol value 'm' invalid for SMS_SIANO_RC
.config:6993⚠️ symbol value 'm' invalid for BCM_VC_SM

you could remove or replace with y/n and compile again to test if its a problem with those settings.
change e.g. set_kernel_config CONFIG_BCM_VC_SM m to set_kernel_config CONFIG_BCM_VC_SM y or remove parameter completly in [ "$RPI_MODEL" = 4 ] section in 13-kernel.sh

pls also see last commit in pull #215 for refernce.

I don't have a pi4 to test this.
what do you mean by not booting => do you see rainbow screen or does it stay black?
if you could provide a log, that could help

build.log

Ok I tried again to build but no luck on the pi4, same problem. I did notice that the green LED on the pi does not even light.

(Tried to upload a log file there but being the size that it is I'm not sure if it is complete or will even work).
