Building a custom kernel package for Arch Linux ARM #90

Open rigoorozco opened 1 year ago

rigoorozco commented 1 year ago

Hi everyone, I made some scripts to build a custom kernel package for Arch inside a Docker container. Figured it could help some people get their laptops up and running.

It's located here: https://github.com/rigoorozco/build-archlinuxarm-pkg

It's currently pointing to steev's kernel but could be easily changed by changing these lines:

_user_name=steev
_repo_name=linux
_commit_hash=d9bc77d4a87d37eda054cf1aa472424dec743cb2

and

md5sums=('8c70c24d60b064288d5590be79212434'

I managed to boot and install an image made for the x13s (from https://github.com/ironrobin/archiso-x13s) on my Yoga C630. Seems like the default GRUB in the Arch Linux ARM repo works right out of the box. Then upgraded the kernel to the one I built. Going to try to build my kernel into the ISO later. This shouldn't be too difficult.

Might make a guide on the steps I took to get my Yoga C630 running if anyone is interested!

I'm still stuck on the custom debian sid and can't get any kernels past 5.11 to work without crashing after 1 - 2 minutes, so I would definitely be! Do you know what hardware works and doesn't work on this kernel atm?
