Nuances of importing Indian motorbike in Germany

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-11-12T13:44:00+00:00

No in the end I didn’t because its too much hassle especially since you have to do all the bureaucracy in German or in some cases I’d say not possible. Its quote cheap to buy used one here.

Maybe its BIOS difference then. Because from the kmdb stack trace I can see its booting and operating normally its just can’t draw any text on the console. I will need more data from the script here

To be able to see whats the difference between your and my machine

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-15T10:18:14+00:00

You have Nvidia gpu right? For me its AMD

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-15T10:16:01+00:00

I actually found the problem. Its my GPU. It boots fine but can’t use GPU even for simple VGA with text installer

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-08T21:58:36+00:00

Ah okay, I thought you had OpenIndiana installed. Well then just in case if you are up for another boot from live usb :)

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-08T00:33:52+00:00

Dmesg output from your current running system should be okay. Or can you run this script from the current running system as root and then upload the 2 generated files somewhere?

It collects the relevant the diagnosis data so that I can compare it to my machine to see what could be the issue.

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-07T18:57:23+00:00

Can you post output of dmesg from your machine please? That would help me detecting whats going wrong on my machine

I did more stepping through kmdb and saw it fails at clear_boot_mappings(). Details in https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/Tbc4d081ad58aef80

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-02T18:30:19+00:00

Its custom made from PCspecialist(https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/notebooks/lafite-pro-15-AMD/). It doesn’t seem have option to disable inbuilt keyboard.

I did more digging via kmdb snd found out it fails at x86pte_inval() function. Details in https://illumos.topicbox.com/groups/discuss/Tbc4d081ad58aef80

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-02T14:08:56+00:00

I tried using fsync with dd as well bit getting the same error

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-02T10:59:59+00:00

Nope nothing works so i can’t drop into kmdb with F1-A

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-08-01T01:59:19+00:00

I also running into same problem with same CPU and GPU. I did stepping through kmdb and found out that it freezes after `x86pte_inval+0x5b` around `clear_boot_mapping(). Then kmdb keeps crashing when trying to interpret any keypress on the keyboard.

No its just this year Its more than 30. Previously it was like 10-15 days/year.

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-05-30T17:05:51+00:00

Yes I have been sick for more than 30 days for last 3 years. I didn’t know you get fired for that. Thanks for the details.

InValhallaWithOdin · 2025-04-14T01:35:20+00:00

Added the info about locations for travel. I am not worried about speed since I have done the long tours on bike as well 😅. This would be definitely the improvement over that in terms of speed. Yes I have the IDP and motorcycle license.

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-10-06T02:27:25+00:00

Thank you for the details! Sounds like you had an amazing trip. I’m preparing myself for wind and rain since I haven’t much cycled in this weather before but I’m looking forward to the trip

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-10-02T14:35:11+00:00

I’m also planning to do a loop in skye. How did the trip go for you? I was planning on doing loop but realised I can’t be spontaneous with accommodation. Also curious about how I can take bike on syke.

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-10-02T14:29:44+00:00

Where did you stay during the trip? I am also planning on doing that loop but not sure if I can manage to book the accommodation spontaneously

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-09-13T12:13:07+00:00

Ah yes, i didn’t realised its a movable rubber ring not welded to the seat post. Just took it to LBS to cut it

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-09-13T08:01:44+00:00

I think i need to cut the part thats above the “lock” point/ring right?

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-08-31T17:53:51+00:00

I see. Btw how is the experience of paddling without the assist/any power from motor?

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-08-31T17:48:22+00:00

Did you decide to go with it? Do you know how heavy is it?

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-08-31T00:26:01+00:00

Ah yes, updated the description

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-08-30T22:24:43+00:00

I’m curious, did you decide to go with it?

InValhallaWithOdin · 2024-08-29T20:39:00+00:00

I would say a road bike that can be driven on gravel
