I installed dietpi RPI ARMv6 on my raspberry pi zero w, when the boot stops at
, I'm supposed to press Enter right? But the keyboard is not working, tried two but no use. Although I plugged a mouse and it worked!
What should I do ?

Hi,
At boot, the kernel waits for mouse movements to initialize the random number generator.
Not sure if it helps but maybe you can try to following
Code: Select all
apt-get install haveged
systemctl enable haveged
reboot
Pls let us know if a solution is working. This could help others if they hit by similar situation. Your DietPi Team

On our RPi image,
rng-tools is installed, which should render haveged obsolete.
For first boot, attach some mouse or keyboard and move/type, or wait for a few minutes until the system gathered entropy from elsewhere.
Then check if rng-tools is running:
Code: Select all
systemctl status rngd
journalctl -u rngd

Joulinar, I can't type anything, the whole keyboard is not working. I tried moving and clicking the mouse but nothing happened (though it's working)

As I mentioned previously, I can't type anything since the whole keyboard is not working with the os (though it worked with raspbian before). And the mouse moving/clicking did nothing.
I just noticed I'm having [end kernel panic] and an error loading libraries:

Hi,
did you tried a fresh installation on a different SD Card?

No, does that mean the image is corrupted ? I'll try another SD

Hi,
you never know. It could be SD card, the download image or something went wrong during flashing. Just to ensure that this is not the case.

@Mohd
Okay the kernel panic is a good reason why things hang. Yes please try to reflash.
