Please use the attached parameter file (extract it first).

This is the dual boot paramater file. You can compare it with the old one.

It adds "root=" kernel parameter , and replaces the unused radical_update partition with linuxroot partition.

You need to flash linux-boot.img (which contains kernel and initramfs) to recovery, and linux-rfs.img to linuxroot.

Hi, cgsong. I've updated https://github.com/TeeFirefly/initrd.git . Please have another try.

I've tested your linux-boot.img, and it cannot start lightdm too.

Please check your kernel config. You can find kernel/arch/arm/configs/firefly-rk3288-linux_defconfig for a reference.

Maybe you have not checked CONFIG_VT ?

Please attach your kernel config.

If you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log, you'll find the following error:

Yes, CONFIG_VT is required and you did not specify it.

"# CONFIG_VT is not set" is specified in kernel/arch/arm/configs/firefly-rk3288_defconfig

which turns CONFIG_VT off explictly.

By default, CONFIG_VT will be on.
