From 988c12faed96159fd5902f3bc372739c111206ef Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Wolsieffer Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2021 15:12:46 -0400 Subject: linux/common-config.nix: disable LPAE on armv7l-linux LPAE was enabled to support native armv7l builders running in QEMU on aarch64, but this option disables support for processors which don't support LPAE, which are still relatively common. In particular, Beaglebones use the Cortex-A8, which doesn't support LPAE. Also, if you attempt to boot an LPAE kernel on a CPU that doesn't support it, it fails before even earlycon is initialized. This makes the problem difficult to debug without enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_LL or using a hardware debugger. --- pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/common-config.nix | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'pkgs/os-specific') diff --git a/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/common-config.nix b/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/common-config.nix index fce451ee889..3fec8d38ac9 100644 --- a/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/common-config.nix +++ b/pkgs/os-specific/linux/kernel/common-config.nix @@ -880,8 +880,6 @@ let # Keeping it a built-in ensures it will be used if possible.
