Is this tested on M1 / Asahi F40?

[mattbdc]

A few errors about failure to unmount as last step in build.sh -d /dev/whatever, but then build.sh mount step doesnt works and suggests dmesg, nothing clear in dmesg, tried 3 USB sticks with same issue. I will dive in further and share logs etc if its expected to work with Asahi Fedora 40?

Thanks. I'll test that out tonight....

I missed an update to F40. It should work now. What's odd is the the u-boot cmds no longer work -- so I removed them from the readme. It appears that usb drives now have priority in uboot and will auto-boot if inserted. I'm send Janne a msg to verify whether this is the intended behavior or not.

Still having issues, a few errors, mount fails, and the USB disk is just empty other than two partitions with just skelton lost+found folders.

Cant see anything odd in dmesg

[  351.180245] EXT4-fs (sda3): mounted filesystem d747cb2a-aff1-4e47-8a33-c4d9b7475df9 r/w with ordered data mode. Quota mode: none.

usb_mnt was mounted to /dev/sda3 (/dev/sda was the usb stick) it seems looking at output of mount

will try dd if=/dev/zero on the stick and try completely fresh.

Tried everything again, even reclone repo in fresh directory, still yields a USB stick with two partitions called fedora-usb-boot with nothing on (other than lost+found folders)

I'm seeing the same thing on x86_64/F40.

Can you run and post the following cmd as root?

[root@mac ~]# $(which mkosi) --version
mkosi 22

If the mkosi version is 22 then run + post the following

blkid | grep/dev/sdx``

The comment ouf set -e and the top of build.sh and replace it with set -x Then run /build.sh -d /dev/sdx and post the output somwhere.

[mattbdc]

You probably just need the extra -r from my open pull request , but removing the -e above will probably work too as it will just skip over that line. I think very early asahi fedora installs had a lot more left over bits in that directory some of which folders.

[AmateurECE]

Removing set -e appears to have worked! I used the live USB to recover my system successfully. I didn't peer through the log to see which command was failing, but it sounds like you guys already have it figured it out. Here's the log anyways:

asahi-fedora-usb-log.txt

mkosi version was 22.

[leifliddy]

hmmm....you would need to do something like a set -ex' and see where it stopped. I'll test this out tonight. I'd like to leaveset -e` in place as I don't want the script progressing in the event that it failed a critical step.
