  • No joy on armhf SBC with Bookworm Alpha 1 installer

    From Larry Doolittle@21:1/5 to All on Fri Feb 3 09:10:01 2023
    Friends -

    Using Debian Bookworm Alpha 1 installer (netboot) on an A20-OLinuXino-Lime2 (signature checked, thanks Vagrant!) starts OK. It boots from SD-card,
    I get some usual installer menus, the network comes up, but then
    it goes downhill.

    I get the "No kernel modules found" message,
    and eventually it gets to "No partitionable media" and I can't continue.

    Presumably the problem is that the Alpha 1 installer is old, meaning
    the running kernel is 5.19.0-1-armmp Debian 5.19.6-1 (2022-09-01).
    But testing has moved on, and now the current linux-image-armmp is 6.1.7-1.
    I see weekly rebuilds of CD images, but not for SD-card images.

    Again, am I blind? What's the intended path to test today's Bookworm
    on hardware like this?

    Shortly after sending this message I found files in https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/armhf/daily/netboot/SD-card-images/
    that work much better. But I'm back to not finding a signature for
    the corresponding SHA256SUMS file. :-(
