Installatiion of Ubuntu 23.10 fails

Hi,

I hav a Visionfive version 1.2a sbc
I am trying to install Ububtu 23.10.
After booting the SBC with the sd-card in it I get to the menu that says “try or install Ubuntu”’

Hitting enter makes the process end with error messages:

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Did you read the (extra) instructions for the 1.2A here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RISC-V/StarFive%20VisionFive%202?_ga=2.159015610.1067897633.1698016879-1020915682.1634414748

Yes I did, I followed the instructions, with the above result.

I udated the firmware, booted the sbc

The point is that the instructions for the 1.2A version (echo …etc at the bottom of the page can only be performed after a succesfull install. I never reach that point.

Dit anybody with a 1,2A version succeed in installing Ubuntu 23.10? Please tell me how you did that!
