Mainlining notes
- framebuffer broken as of now, if anyone can fix this, please help.
- eMMC works partially or maybe fully? recognises partitions p1-38 (all the partitions) and mmc size (128gb for me).
- crashes with: <0>[ 0.292447] Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found. Try passing init= option to kernel. See Linux Documentation/admin-guide/init.rst for guidance.
- note - i have tried /sbin/init and /init
- also note: the kernel isn't doing anything with the initramfs?
- also also note: devtmpfs: error mounting -2
- when mounting /dev/mmcblk0p2
- mainline repo, for a13
- if someone could help out with mainlining, it would be appreciated.
