Respect for your work, but could you give a bit of guidance on how to get till running linux with this? Have been through multiple wikis now and I still cant grasp it.

I see you put all modules here https://packages.aunali1.com/archlinux/mbp/x86_64/ is there a way to build linux using them? As I recall you need to have bzImage to start up linux

Hi,

The files present at https://packages.aunali1.com/archlinux/mbp/x86_64/ are compiled binary packages for Arch Linux based distros. They contain the necessary kernel and supporting headers/documentation. As they follow Arch Linux conventions there are three packages:

In order to actually use the packages you would need to add an entry to your /etc/pacman.conf file as follows:

[mbp]
server = https://packages.aunali1.com/archlinux/$repo/$arch

If you are interested in compiling the Arch Linux kernel package manually, you can use the command $ makepkg -s. This will generate the files that you find in https://packages.aunali1.com/archlinux/mbp/x86_64/.

It would be useful to tell us the best way to get this kernel running on the live usb so we can see the nvme drive for installation.

Why not putting it in the AUR too?

I created a guide for ubuntu: https://gist.github.com/gbrow004/096f845c8fe8d03ef9009fbb87b781a4

Well... Is it possible to provide a GPG key in your site? It's not of much importance but I think it's more elegant not to set SigLevel to Never.

@zhiyuanzhai https://pgp.key-server.io/pks/lookup?op=get&fingerprint=on&search=0x7F9B8FC29F78B339. In general, pacman notifies you to import said keys during installation of packages.
