Anyone Can Run Asahi Linux on M2 MacMini 2023? #222

Hi,

I have a MacMini M2 2023 device. I tried to install Asahi Linux (Desktop, Minal, m1n1 only), but the system failed to boot (black screen, Caps Lock indicator does not flash when pressing down CapsLock key) after successfully executing the installation script and step 2 in the recovery mode (Select Asahi Linux and follow the terminal information) and restart.

Below is my system info: Product name: Mac mini (2023) SoC: Apple M2 Device class: j473ap Product type: Mac14,3 Board ID: 0x24 Chip ID: 0x8112 System firmware: iBoot-8422.141.2 Boot UUID: 5FB57953-D8A5-4D9E-B517-4370D196A2C7 Boot VGID: 5FB57953-D8A5-4D9E-B517-4370D196A2C7 Default boot VGID: CB2BBA84-221A-4F10-9792-048378F9427D Boot mode: macOS OS version: 13.5 (22G74) SFR version: 22.7.74.0.0,0 System rOS version: 13.5 (22G74) No Fallback rOS

Could anyone who has similar problems share the solutions? Thank you!

The Mac mini (M2, 2023) is not fully supported, see https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Feature-Support

That said it you probably hit a bug in the new display init code which prevented booting. It was added on 12th and fixed on 13th. A new install now should be less broken and might even init the display but the device is still not supported. The AsahiLinux options probably boot into the display manager, the Fedora images will to but fail to display anything.

@jannau On a related matter, is there any usb keyboard that works at the uboot stage on the m2 mini? Need to be able to boot external usb to set up encryption..

For reference, uboot says Failed to get keyboard state from device 2efd:7812.

ok, the trick seems to be: use a cheap keyboard plugged to the usb-c port.
