Trying 172.16.42.1...
Connected to 172.16.42.1.

Type 'pmos_continue_boot' to continue booting:
/ # uname -a
Linux (none) 3.4.5 #1-postmarketOS SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 14 19:28:51 UTC 2018 armv7l Linux
/ # cat /proc/version 
Linux version 3.4.5 (pmos@g550jk) (gcc version 6.4.0 (Alpine 6.4.0) ) #1-postmarketOS SMP PREEMPT Thu Jun 14 19:28:51 UTC 2018

Tested until now: debug-shell hook works (usb networking works), maximum-attention hook works

A new aport for "mtk-mkimage" was added, which adds a 512-byte header to both initramfs and zImage. A new deviceinfo flag was added to enable it on the initramfs, the kernel is currently just done in the kernel aport (maybe the flag should do both in the mkinitfs script?)

Update: Flashing works via the SP Flash Tool, fastboot doesn't seem to work for the system partition, it gets stuck with "erasing system" or sth like that.

ssh'ing into the flashed rootfs works

Screen only updates with cat /sys/class/graphics/fb0/modes > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/mode (or the command with pan) - msm-fb-refresher helps (lol, that package on a mediatek phone^^)

wlan0 interface doesn't exist - because of weird sw that does weird stuff - combined with weird kernel modules

I can't really see a benefit in either way, so I would keep it like you have it now.

@ollieparanoid Any idea how I can "use a different source branch" as it tells me above? At least I didn't see an option for that in the edit menu...

Could you fork pmbootstrap to your account on gitlab, and push the same branch there? As I understand it, then it should get picked up again.

Did that (https://gitlab.com/z3ntu/pmbootstrap/commits/device-fairphone-fp1) but it still says "Source branch does not exist. Please restore it or use a different source branch"

Oh, that's bad - then I guess the simplest way would be re-opening the merge request, and closing this one? Sorry for the trouble.
