USB Flash not found / APU2

[krbvroc1]

I am using an APU2.

If I download the 'ancient' Tiny Core 6.4 provided by pcengines, everything works. By 'works', I mean the USB 3.0 flash device is detected by Tiny Core 6.4

I tried to use the latest Core 12 download (making changes to the syslinux.cfg and initrd for serial console). It successfully boots on the APU2 to the autologin. BUT, it does not detect or show or mount the USB device it booted off of! waitusb made no difference. The device just doesn't show up.

On Tiny Core 6.4, I see:

I do not see the same on Core 12 (even with waitusb=30).

Just to add more information, I just tried Core 11.1 and it worked. So it is Core 12 that is broken.

The xhci kernel configs have not changed. Possibly a kernel bug. Please compare the messages mentioning xhci, your usb controller.

Three things I notice:

First,

Booting core11 -

Code: [Select]

xhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: xHCI Host Controller
xhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 2
xhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: hcc params 0x014040c3 hci version 0x100 quirks 0x0000000000000410
xhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: xHCI Host Controller
xhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: new USB bus registered, assigned bus number 3
xhci_hcd 0000:00:10.0: Host supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed
Bootling core12 -
Nothing

Second,
On core11 - 'lsmod' returns:

Code: [Select]

Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
cpufreq_conservative    12288  0
cpufreq_userspace      12288  0

acpi_cpufreq           12288  0
loop                   20480  0
On core12 - 'lsmod' returns nothing.

Third,
The newer kernels do not include
i2c in the kernel which prohibits the 'igb' driver from working.

    [EDIT]: Added code tags.  Rich

Hi krbvroc1
Please use  Code Tags  when posting commands and responses seen in a terminal. To use  Code Tags  click on the  #  icon
above the reply box and paste your text between the  Code Tags  as shown in this example:

[code][   36.176529] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517
[   36.176536] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supplies: -517
[   36.191753] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517[/code]

It will appear like this in your post:

Code: [Select]

[   36.176529] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517
[   36.176536] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supplies: -517
[   36.191753] pcm512x 1-004d: Failed to get supply 'AVDD': -517
Code Tags  serve as visual markers between what you are trying to say and the information you are posting. They also preserve
spacing so column aligned data displays properly. Code tags also automatically add horizontal and or vertical scrollbars
to accommodate long lines and listings.

[krbvroc1]

Right after I posted, I modified and used code tags. Perhaps you got an email notification of my original reply prior to my edit?
This forum is giving me issues ... keeps complaining about 'bad cookies' when I try to Post. Simply hitting 'Post' again clears it up.

EDIT: Or maybe what you suggest is different than the 'code' BBC tag I used / got from the SMF forum help.

Hi krbvroc1
You used  pre  tags which preserve formatting but will not automatically add horizontal and or vertical scrollbars
to accommodate long lines and listings.

Ahh, thanks! Now that you remind me, I think I manually typed the code tags first and it didn't work (or at least not in the preview) so I switched to pre. I also tried that upper right dropdown that says 'Code' and it did nothing. Thanks.

"On core12 - 'lsmod' returns nothing." - an empty list? This means you have a mismatch somewhere, trying to use a custom kernel without the matching modules. Like using a kernel supplied by PC engines with the initrd from Core 12.
