Introduce myself and ask for help

Good morning, I have rebooted it using the reboot command, and now every time it turns on, choosing to enter as usual via SSD, I get this error and it reboots itself.

Now I have to exit, but I will save your image from this post and try yours and I will tell you how everything goes, thanks for your help

Show output before…it tries this partition as rootfs

If you want another partition, put a uEnv.txt on sd/emmc boot partition to override this setting

have you already a rootfs copied from sdcard to nvme??

bootmenu is defined as follows, maybe you have overridden bootmenu_default?

          bootmenu_0=1. Enter kernel-name to boot from SD/EMMC.=run boot0
          bootmenu_1=2. Boot kernel from TFTP.=run askbootnetfit
          bootmenu_2=3. Boot from SD/EMMC.=run newboot
          bootmenu_3=4. Boot kernel from NVME.=run askbootnvme
          
          bootmenu_default=2

Good morning @frank-w, I still have the partition on the SD card, now that I know it can be modified later I will do it when I understand how it works, for now it is easier for me to modify on the SD card.

I have changed the version and I have put yours that you posted in this same thread, since when you sent me the message of what I had to modify I had already deleted the SD card.

I have put the instruction that you sent me, which is the only one that does not return an error, but I still have no internet.

I currently have it as a manual.

192.168.1.20 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1

I have something wrong, I have tried both the 1gb wan and the 10gb sfp+rj45 with the same result, do you know what I am doing wrong.

I have done a reboot, and it still tells me that I have no internet, neither via WAN nor via WiFi. Is this normal? I don’t know if it is configured. I have not entered the WiFi option, but if I don’t have WAN, that configuration doesn’t matter.

frank-w · August 24, 2024, 10:38am

You have to use 2 different subnets for wan and lan…if you use 192.168.1.0/24 on your existing lan you have to use another for lanbr0 e.g. 192.168.0.0/24

Then try if internet works on R4,if this works enable routing (sysctl) and masquerading on wan (nftables).

Good evening @frank-w, I’m trying to understand how to configure the network, with this command /etc/network/interface I see that I don’t have a network created and that’s why I shouldn’t have internet, I changed the IP key to #static setup Address=192.168.5.1/24 #Gateway=192.168.0.10 #DNS=192.168.0.10

and I set automatic dchp, but the only thing that happened to me is that now I enter the router through the IP 192.168.5.1.

I put this command and it’s where I see that I don’t have anything created in the router to give me internet,

Could you tell me exactly what I have to put to at least have internet and then little by little I will understand how to modify the configuration files.

If you could give me an exact example I would appreciate it

Francisco · August 24, 2024, 9:31pm

I have downloaded the latest image you created https://github.com/

debian-12-bookworm-bpi-r4-5.4-sd-emmc

I am saving it and I will start working with it, tell me if I can use it or if you want me to go back to the previous one, since I found it interesting to work with your latest version that you created.

I look forward to your news,

Francisco · August 24, 2024, 9:58pm

I’m going back to the previous version because I’m not able to enter the router with the new build, I can’t find the IP.

bpi-r4_bookworm_6.11.0-rc1

I’ll keep working on it, I’m very stubborn and I really like being able to learn little by little, even if it takes me a lot of days to understand how it’s done, but I hope to get the necessary configuration to have internet first through LAN and then the wireless will come.

Francisco · August 25, 2024, 1:32am

good evening @frank-w finally with a MT7921AU usb stick, I have managed to get wifi in openwrt, the be14000 drivers, unfortunately they are not available and you cannot use them official openwrt image used

Bananapi BPi-R4 Platform Mediatek/Filogic Version SNAPSHOT(r27217-ae5489e578) Date 08/24/2024 21:03:39

let’s see if the be14000 drivers are available soon, it would be a luxury to be able to enjoy them, do you know if they are working on implementing them in openwrt?

frank-w · August 25, 2024, 7:57am

The problem is not driver it is the firmware where we have only test firmware which cannot be added in mainline openwrt…i have it only in latest debian images i’ve built…

Images with kernel 5.4 are not from me. And my recent images do not use /etc/network/interfaces…they use /etc/systemd/network/*

Francisco · August 25, 2024, 10:00am

Hello @frank-w I am also using your latest images created by you, but I am unable to create the /etc/systemd/network configurations.

I am trying to make changes to the files, but I cannot find a way to do it.

Could you put some configurations in each file and then I will modify them for my network, it would be a great help, I am trying to read on the internet how to do it but so far I have not been able to.

modifying the files by ssh is not a problem for me,

thanks for your help

ericwoud · August 25, 2024, 10:08am

You can also look at some examples here

https://github.com/ericwoud/buildR64arch/tree/main/rootfs/network

frank-w · August 25, 2024, 10:22am

There are also multiple config prepared…imho you only change the ip in the lanbr0 network file when you use 192.168.1.0/24 in your existing lan subnet which you connect to wan. That will result having same subnet on wan and lan and so breaks routing…

So just change the ip on the lanbr network file and restart networkd

Francisco · August 25, 2024, 12:09pm

Good afternoon, I have copied the configuration as it was in the example, which was without SFP, I still have no internet.

I will continue to insist until I find the correct configuration, I will put back the files that came in the configuration and I will work with them, I am too clumsy, but also very stubborn

ericwoud · August 25, 2024, 12:22pm

The output of

ip a

May help narrow down the problem.
