When patching the kernel, it seems like booster is not configured or installed on the image, so it doesn't use booster when patching.
Did you install-after-uninstall or uninstall-after-install? If you uninstall the existing kernels with -Rcns
then booster would also be uninstalled as pacman would consider it a dependency no longer needed. Do with plain -R
instead. Or if you do insist on doing so, re-install booster manually before install new kernels, so they won't grab mkinitcpio
as the default initramfs
provider.
When patching the kernel, the boot partition constantly runs out of space.
What do you mean by "patching the kernel"? Things break in the stage when kernel image is installed or in the stage when initcpio image is being generated?
I don't want to adjust the partition layout yet: if you want a custom partition layout you can always use the -root.tar
release, and you can partition your SD card in whatever way your want. The current image is partitioned with maximum space utilization in mind so it would: 1) fit on a 4G SD card 2) encourages users to resize root partition if they really want to use it 3) encourage users to actually do an Arch install with either the root.tar
release here or pacstrap
.

Now we have four kernels pre-installed:
linux-aarch64-rockchip-rk3588-bsp5.10-orangepi-git
, is kept and replaced the removed linux-aarch64-rockchip-rk3588-bsp5.10-orangepi as the default kernellinux-aarch64-rockchip-bsp6.1-joshua-git
as recommended kernellinux-aarch64-rockchip-armbian-git
as the alternative cutting edge try-it-alllinux-aarch64-7ji
as the stable mainlineNow boot partition size is 512M, and we still have 234M free. 1G is way too much overkill
Now whole image size is 3G, it should still fit on a 4G SD card.
Hi, I am running into a couple of issues when I use this image for an orange pi 5b.
I would propose that the boot partition should be 1 gig by default for a few of reasons.
which brings up my second ask, if you could kindly set up booster in the image so it works when patching the same way as when the image was created.
