kernel panic when trying vga 1024 and 800 with latest debian image

[rejap]

hi,

I am trying to activate standard vga output on A13 wifi board.
Flashed card using http://images.olimex.com/release/a13/A13-OLinuXino-bullseye-base-20220928-143706.img.7z
Boot with serial console ok.
Selected vga-800 or vga-1024 in linuxino-overlay
Kernel panic in both cases.
I suspect, I am missing something obvious.
Any hints are appreciated.

For the moment I can only confirm the issue. Same thing happens here, it is an issue inside the Olimage image. If you are in a hurry consider using the sunxi image until this gets fixed.

Thanks for info!

I looked at the sunxi site and couldn't find any ready to go image.
What exactly did you mean?
Can I just use stock arm debian?

I also tried armbian, but it has no X11. At least console stays on vga.

Sunxi images for A13 board can be found here:

https://ftp.olimex.com/Allwinner_Images/A13-OLinuXino/2.legacy_images_kernel_3.4.x/

Get the archive "A13_debian_34_90_mainline_u-boot_release_11_3.7z".

The downside is that the kernel is pretty old, but everything should work.
