Expectation: It should build, just like current branch.

How to reproduce?

./compile.sh RELEASE=jammy BOARD=rpi4b BRANCH=legacy NETWORKING_STACK=network-manager KERNEL_CONFIGURE=prebuilt BUILD_DESKTOP=no BUILD_MINIMAL=yes EXTERNAL=yes EXTERNAL_NEW=prebuilt INSTALL_HEADERS=yes DISABLE_IPV6=false COMPRESS_OUTPUTIMAGE="sha,xz" KERNEL_GIT=shallow CONSOLE_AUTOLOGIN=no INCLUDE_HOME_DIR=yes

Plus, changes mentioned in logs are from this PR: #6503 - but since replacing config.txt from customize-image.sh wasn't working with it, I just appended my own lines to this changes - but shouldn't be relevant here.

Did you try without modifications?

[KhazAkar]

@EvilOlaf I'm currently testing edge with that change and works. I will stash it, reset and check again on 'legacy' branch.

[KhazAkar]

Stashed & reset, set to legacy branch AAAAAAND... Didn't worked. Same error.

[igorpecovnik]

It works on current and edge, but fails on legacy, right?

[KhazAkar]

@igorpecovnik exactly that.

[igorpecovnik]

Why do you need legacy? We don't do much here, so its probably broken / unmaintained upstream.

Those are patches:
https://github.com/armbian/build/tree/main/patch/kernel/archive/bcm2711-6.1
but should be harmless.

Can't you use 6.6.y kernel for your use case?

[KhazAkar]

I'm trying to get up & running RPi 3 based device, but on 6.6.x kernel I get error -110 for mmc1 device, which is SDIO based wifi card. 6.10 doesn't even work for me there. Since I want to get this specific ones as well as rpi 4, I need to find something which will work on both of them.

[igorpecovnik]

I was able to build it now.

I can confirm that I get exactly the same error as KhazAkar when building the legacy branch from the main and v24.08 branches.

There must be some error when building the dtb packages because the package https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt/pool/main/l/linux-dtb-legacy-bcm2711/linux-dtb-legacy-bcm2711_24.5.1_arm64__6. 1.77-S2101-D440d-Pdbc3-C2812H5c21-HK01ba-Vc222-Bf15a-R448a.deb does not contain any dtb files.

Also packages https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt/pool/main/l/linux-6.1.77/linux-image-legacy-bcm2711_24.5.1_arm64__6.1.77-S2101-D440d-Pdbc3-C2812H5c21-HK01ba-Vc222-Bf15a-R448a.deb and https://fi.mirror.armbian.de/apt/pool/main/l/linux-6.1.77/linux-image-legacy-bcm2711_24.2.1_arm64__6.1.77-S14c3-D6b4a-Pdbc3-Ca3a2Hfe66-HK01ba-Vc222-B067e-R448a.deb do not include any dtb files.

Would you mind saying how did you managed to do so? My bash-fu is not great, so I'd appreciate any help :)
