X-Debbugs-Cc: fejes@inf.elte.hu

Debian-installer stuck before the initramfs part on Filogic Mediatek
MT7986 (BananaPi R3-mini). As investigated [1] on their forum with Frank
Wunderlich the root cause of this behavior is the missing clock driver.
Actually, it is not missing but built as a modul, so it is impossible to
load it without initramfs - but the kernel boot cannot reach that part
since it fails before due to the missing clock driver.

I have no idea if it makes sense to build it as a module in upstream in
the first place, but in Debian I suggest to stick with a built-in option
in the arm64 defconfig.

#89238 — Bug#1094195: Closing this bug (BTS maintenance for src:linux bugs)

Fromcarnil@debian.org
Date2025-09-13 23:00 +0200
SubjectBug#1094195: Closing this bug (BTS maintenance for src:linux bugs)
Message-ID<LuFvH-f5pJ-19@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#85281
Hi

This bug was filed for a (very) old kernel or the bug is old itself
without resolution. Maybe it was for a feature enablement which nobody
acted on. We are sorry we were not able to timely deal with this issue.
There are many open bugs for the src:linux package and thus we are
closing older bugs where it's unclear if they still occur in newer
versions and are still relevant to the reporter. For an overview see:
https://bugs.debian.org/src:linux .

If you can reproduce your issue with

- the current version in unstable/testing
- the latest kernel from backports

or, if it was a feature addition/wishlist and still consider it
relevant, then:

Please reopen the bug, see https://www.debian.org/Bugs/server-control
for details.

Please try to provide as much fresh details including kernel logs where
relevant. In particular were an issue is coupled with specific hardware we
might ask you to do additional debugging on your side as the owner of the
hardware.

Regards,
Salvatore
