Chromebook Plus will not boot

Postby bneumeier » Mon Jan 21, 2019 7:56 pm

As described at https://archlinuxarm.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=13279 --

With the 2018-12 release, and now also verified with the 2019-01 release, a fresh installation on Samsung Chromebook Plus following the instructions at https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/rockchip/samsung-chromebook-plus leads to a system that does not boot; after hitting ctrl-U at the boot screen, the screen goes black and remains that way until power is cycled.

Who prepares these installation tarfiles? Is there any way to submit a bug report other than posting in this forum? Is there any way of obtaining an older installation tarfile/kernel file than 2018-12, since that appears to be the version where this issue first manifested?

Also confirmed, the kernel found in http://il.us.mirror.archlinuxarm.org/aarch64/core/linux-aarch64-4.20.3-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz has the same behavior after flashing to the boot partition.

I downloaded and tried the latest version "ArchLinuxARM-2019.02-gru-rootfs.tar.gz" with both kernels linux-aarch64-chromebook-4.20.10-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz and linux-gru-4.4.172-1-aarch64.pkg.tar.xz and they continue to have the black screen bug.

If anyone has a working Samsung Chromebook Plus, is there a way you can share a working kernel package?

Just as an FYI for anyone else using a Chromebook Plus -- the version of ArchLinuxARM-aarch64-chromebook-latest.tar.gz, published on 2019-03-08, works for me without issues using the installation instructions found at https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/rockchip/samsung-chromebook-plus.
