Installed 12 nightly on rpi5. So far things are working (CEC, eARC, 4k), played few media files.

Just I don't see support for sleep and CEC-based resume. Is hardware capable of these or is that software issue only?

Ah, pull request (was thinking about "problem report" as this is also used in some bug tracking systems like GNATS for example).

Are there kernel build logs (from official builds) available anywhere? Would like to verify things before creating pull request.

netconsole is quite useful for tracking kernel related problems and the fix is easy, so it's better to get this fixed.

Thanks

Doh, PR? Few questions:

Where to submit PR?
What are other projects?

Would be good if thread-83.html mentioned that PR is needed to fix bugs.

lrusak: unlikely unless ip=dhcp changes built-in modules initialization order

Hello.

libreelec 8 kernel has built in netconsole feature (netconsole.txt)
which is useful for debugging kernel related problems.

Unfortunately it's built in into kernel and not as module. When it's built in into kernel the only way to activate it is to pass
parameters via /flash/cmdline.txt like:

boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 netconsole=@/,@192.168.0.249/ quiet

That won't work because eth0 is initialized later, after netconsole thus kernel will say:

[    0.000000] Kernel command line: 8250.nr_uarts=0 bcm2708_fb.fbwidth=1824 bcm2708_fb.fbheight=984 bcm2708_fb.fbswap=1 vc_mem.mem_base=0x3dc00000 vc_mem.mem_size=0x3f000000  boot=/dev/mmcblk0p1 disk=/dev/mmcblk0p2 netconsole=@/,@192.168.0.249/ quiet root=/dev/ram0 rdinit=/init BOOT_IMAGE=/kernel.img usbcore.autosuspend=-1

[    0.964925] netpoll: netconsole: eth0 doesn't exist, aborting
[    0.965019] netconsole: cleaning up

Solutions:
1) make netconsole as module instead of built-in, so it can be modprobbed like

modprobe netconsole netconsole=@/,@192.168.0.249/

OR

2) enable dynamic netconsole configuration capability CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC

LibreELEC:~ # modprobe configs
LibreELEC:~ # zcat /proc/config.gz |grep NETCONS | grep DYNA
# CONFIG_NETCONSOLE_DYNAMIC is not set

I hope one or both solutions can be applied to libreelec kernel.

Thanks!

Doh. I had the same problem. So far disabling things in input settings of kodi made tv to not turn on. Unfortunately no idea which setting exactly did the trick.
