Re: Pine64 Quartz64 Model A -- Kernel hangs before installer

From the dmesg you provided looks like installer is having problem enabling the sd card with sdmmc driver.

I would recommend you disable and re-enable the sdmmc driver. To do the first boot from sd card that hit ctl+c before the installer bootstrap the kernal for installation.

No enter the following commands

boot -c disable sdmmc

boot -c enable sdmmc

for more information check openbsd boot_config man page

I'm attempting to install openbsd 7.4 on the above-mentioned board.  I've tried both the miniroot and install images with the same process and the same outcome.  Here is how I prepared the install sd card:

doas dd if=miniroot74.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

doas mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt

doas mkdir /mnt/vendor

doas cp rk3566-quartz64-a.dtb /mnt/vendor/

doas umount /mnt

doas dd if=idbloader.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=64

doas dd if=u-boot.itb of=/dev/mmcblk0 seek=16384

When I boot the board, I get lots of messages about things that aren't configured, but that seems normal.  It seems to proceed normally, but hangs after the following lines in the log:

I do get the boot prompt, but never the installation prompt.  I copied the dtb, itb and idbloader files from a manjaro image provided for the board.  I don't know if that's the proper way to do things, but saw it mentioned on several forums.  I'm not sure where to go from here.

Thanks!
