@george Arch is only providing errors while compiling Mesa. Void is running but no drm acceleration or sound. I will give up for now and go back to Debian 13

@george said in Any other distro booting?:
@petersen77
The rc.local script actually only performs simple scaling operations, which can be implemented anywhere in the system, such as creating a service yourself.
Regarding GPU issues, it is necessary to compile and install the latest version of Mesa by oneself.Do I need any patches for Mesa? Simply compile the latest or install the mesa-git package from Arch is sufficient?

@george Something went wrong in Void Linux. It seams that the flashing was not successful. First boot is ok but lsblk and fdisk are showing different sizes of the partition mmcblk0p2.15 MB in fdisk and 9.5 GB with lsblk. After reboot the 9.5 GB partition is gone and Void is trying to access the 15 MB partition

fdisk is not installed in Void Linux as default, so the rc.local script is not working.

With the Ubuntu image Arch and Void Linux are booting. Void Linux breaks something after update so it won't boot after a reboot. In Arch Linux I can't get GPU drm to work. Only LLVM so I can't start any Wayland stuff like sway or labwc.
It seems that after rebooting Void the root partition is deleted. Size only 15 MB.

Dear George,
in reality it doesn't work. Kernel is booting but afterwards it stays dark, no reaction. Maybe I miss a step. How can I debug it since there's no prompt or status? The displays stays simply black. I tried it with Debian 13 preinstalled image and Arch/Void root tarballs.
Please advice or (if possible) create an image with Arch or Void for example (simple image without any GUI is sufficient).Best regards,

Hello everyone,
did someone manage to get any other distro booting like Arch or void Linux or gentoo?

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

@Momo-0 Thanks, it's working now.

@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

RE: Cool Pi Cm5-Laptop Linux Quick Start Guideposted in PI CM5 Laptop
@Momo-0 The same here, I cannot replace the standard kernel with EXFAT support.

@berkaroad The generated files are not complete so WiFi, opengl and many more is not working.

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,

Thanks. It seems that in Ubuntu (24.04) there's no exfat support compiled. How to modify the script or the settings to get it compiled?
Thanks in advanceBR
