Installation of bookworm on cubox-i

[Rainer Dorsch]

Hello,

I just tried to install bookworm on a Cubox-i.

What I did

Downloaded firmware.MX6_Cubox-i.img.gz and partition.img.gz from:

http://ftp2.de.debian.org/debian/dists/bookworm/main/installer-armhf/current/
images/netboot/SD-card-images/

Created and installation image:

# zcat firmware.MX6_Cubox-i.img.gz partition.img.gz > /dev/sdc
# sync

Booted the device with a serial console attached:

First issue I run into:

No kernel modules were found. This probably is due to a mismatch │
│ between the kernel used by this version of the installer and the │
│ kernel version available in the archive. │
│ │
│ You should make sure that your installation image is up-to-date, or - │
│ if that's the case - try a different mirror, preferably │
│ deb.debian.org. │
│ │
│ The installation will probably fail to work if you continue without │
│ kernel modules. │
│ │
│ Continue the install without loading kernel modules?

Are installation media and archive out of sync? Is there a nightly
installation media I should try?

I continued and then run into (might be a consequence from the first issue):

┌────────────────────┤ [!] Detect disks ├────────────────────┐
│ │
│ No partitionable media │
│ No partitionable media were found. │
│ │
│ Please check that a hard disk is attached to this machine. │

Any feedback is welcome :-)
