Fails to boot
| 02:01:13 |
| Tristan Ross | Timed out waiting for device /dev/nvme0n1p2, trying to mount anyway.
mounting /dev/nvme0n1p2 on /...
[ 43.288631] /dev/nvme0n1p2: Can't lookup blockdev
mount: mounting /dev/nvme0n1p2 on /mnt-root/ failed: No such file or directory
An error occurred in stage 1 of the boot process, which must mount the
root filesystem on `/mnt-root' and then start stage 2. Press one
of the following keys:
i) to launch an interactive shell
f) to start an interactive shell having pid 1 (needed if you want to
start stage 2's init manually)
r) to reboot immediately
*) to ignore the error and continue
f
Hmm, this is taking awhile

This seems to be a problem

 liberodark | Hi, I want to install nixos on VisionFive 2 for make build. | 12:12:20 |
| liberodark | * Hi, I want to install nixos on VisionFive 2 for make builder. | 12:12:27 |
| liberodark | You have a way for that ? | 12:12:41 |
| liberodark | Or i need to use debian for build inside with nix ? | 12:16:34 |
 misuzu | You can try these images https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/releases/tag/0.8
But you'll need upstream u-boot on spi
I'm using https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/releases/download/0.7/u-boot-spl.bin.normal.out https://github.com/misuzu/nixos-vf2/releases/download/0.7/visionfive2_fw_payload.img | 14:12:27 |

Hi, I want to install nixos on VisionFive 2 for make build. I just used the SD card as an installer and do things like normal | 14:21:51 |
| liberodark | Im using only a NVME if you have iso for try this. | 14:22:33 |

Im using only a NVME if you have iso for try this? For NVMe boot, you need the SPL (u-boot + OpenSBI) in flash (recommended), eMMC, or microSD.
With all that done, most VF2 images should work fine (e.g. the one misuzu linked). | 14:25:27 |

| liberodark | Im on Debian 13 actually on VF2 | 14:26:10 |
| liberodark | But i want to give this onto builder for free. | 14:26:35 |
| Alex | Could you explain exactly what you're trying to do? Run NixOS on your VF2? | 14:26:58 |
| liberodark | Exactely | 14:27:10 |
| liberodark | For build app natively. | 14:27:38 |
| Alex | From Debian 13, you can follow the vendor's instructions to write the SPL into flash. | 14:27:40 |
| liberodark | You have generated iso on your side ? | 14:28:13 |
| liberodark | or img ? | 14:28:18 |

| Alex | The nixos-native-*.img.zstd needs to be inflated and can then be flashed onto the disk (not onto a partition). | 14:30:19 |
| liberodark | native is native build & cross is cross-build ? | 14:50:21 |
| misuzu | Yep, both should work | 14:53:30 |
| liberodark | Ok im go to test tonight. | 14:55:38 |
| misuzu | They use mainline kernel and mainline kernel doesn't have hdmi support so you'll have to use uart or ssh | 14:58:39 |
| Alex | HDMI on the vendor's upstream branch is (was?) completely broken too.
The vendor images with working HDMI use some older version and have disabled most of the kernel flags. | 16:40:33 |
| Alex | * HDMI on the vendor's "upstream" branch is (was?) completely broken too.

| liberodark | Yep have see is not upstream that not really good for now. | 18:02:25 |
