Hi all,
I played a little on the GTA04 with Replicant 4.2 and the
latest letux-5.10.10-replicant kernel [1].

It starts up to a console shell but then the boot process stops.

It appears as if the 'zygote' process tries (or succeeds)
to launch the 'system_server' process but then exits.

There is an overview of the Android boot process [2], but 
there is no mechanism to debug...

The same user-space works fine with letux-5.4.92-replicant, so it
is some kernel incompatibility.

Any hints and help are welcome,
Nikolaus
