how to fix kernel panic during installation of PiCorePlayer

Hi, i have a rpi 5 and i want to play some audiophile music on it and i was experimenting with the different media player OSes that the rpi imager offered. I had enabled SSH, username & pw and the raspberrypi.local host, but PiCorePlayer kept giving me the same exact problem shown in the image. I'm new to rpi and linux so im not sure what most of it means. Is it just user error or software error?

Somehow using GPIO is causing a kernel panic

How's your pi connected to whatever audio hardware you're using? And what's the rating of the power supply

youkah

my pi is connected to my audio via USB and my power supply is 27w

illegitimate_egg

Looks like a good PSU so it's not that

youkah

oh i forgot to add on

youkah

the rpi os works fine

illegitimate_egg

Looks a device issue, which is weird because pCP is supposed to support pi 5 Any idea what bootloader version you're on?

illegitimate_egg

I think if you start it without a memory card it'll tell, can't confirm however

youkah

my rpi 5 is 4b019946

youkah

2024/11/12 release

illegitimate_egg

Does it do this every boot?

illegitimate_egg

without any interaction from you?

youkah

yes

illegitimate_egg

Alright

illegitimate_egg

give me a minute

illegitimate_egg

or 400

illegitimate_egg

Not terribly familiar with how the pi boots, and I actually can't find the initramfs which is annoying because I wanted to have a look at init

illegitimate_egg

It's possible it's built into the kernel

youkah

so is this a hardware issue?

illegitimate_egg

No

illegitimate_egg

software

illegitimate_egg

I can only pull about 38M out of these images

illegitimate_egg

nothing about the boot procedures

youkah

whats 38M?

youkah

is there perhaps, a way to upload the full boot log or smth?

illegitimate_egg

Problem is I don't own a pi 5, and can't find a feasable way of emulating one

illegitimate_egg

everything's also compressed on the os image which makes it hard to work with :/

illegitimate_egg

do you particularly plan to use PiCorePlayer?

youkah

not really, but ive heard its very lightweight and has minimal background processes

illegitimate_egg

so does running a raw shell as your init system, but I suppose that's not practical

illegitimate_egg

What do you plan to use the pi for?

youkah

mainly audiophile music

youkah

so do i stick to other media player OSes for now?

illegitimate_egg

I would say so, but lookout for any new releases of picoreplayer

youkah

okay, thank you

oops.se

Is this solved?
