      @george any chance you could include the wireguard kernel modules too in these images?

        Apply the following patch and compile to replace the kernel.

          Test several USB drives and find a USB 2.0 interface drive. There may be compatibility issues with USB3.0.

          interesting conversation… I wonder if the notebook/ SoC is supported something like a uefi boot already, from your suggestion it seems like the case, no?

              EXFAT is still not in the kernel. It also seems that the building process is broken, so I can't implement it. Please check.

              Best regards,
              Peter

                append this to file arch/arm64/configs/coolpi_linux_defconfig , compile kernel and install to /boot/firmware

                CONFIG_EXFAT_FS=y

                      can we get some updated instructions in general? The repo on the first page doesnt seem to be the current one, and every build i do from the Current one doesnt seem to boot on my laptop.

                        @Momo-0 The same here, I cannot replace the standard kernel with EXFAT support.

                              Thanks, 11 debian booted. Because this is an old image.

                                @mainbord Debian 13 is also working, but no EXFAT support in the kernel, so it's a little bit inconvenient copying files (e.g. my Camera is using EXFAT) or making backups

                                  @petersen77 i got around this with installing exfat-progs and exfatfuse i think, after installing i needed to create a symlink like this "sudo ln -s /usr/sbin/mount.exfat-fuse /sbin/mount.exfat"

                                  https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/607949/cannot-mount-exfat-even-installed-exfat-fuse-exfat-utils-in-kali-linux

                                  but yeah being able to compile the kernel or have this and some other features (vpn, filesystem encryption) in the kernel from the beginning for example would be better

                                        Use the following command to generate a deb file and then install it.

                                        ./build-kernel.sh arm64

                                          How to install mainline kernel 6.18?

                                            @george Can't finish the job. Btrfs module keeps sending an error when building the modules. The script doesn't finish.
