A bit of guidance

[reinismu]

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:

• linux-mbp - The actual kernel binary vmlinuz-linux-mbp and associated loadable modules
• linux-mbp-headers - Exported headers used by DKMS (i.e. @roadrunner2's apple-ib-tb driver) or userspace utilities
• linux-mbp-docs - Generated kernel internals documentation

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.

I put up a guide for arch here: https://gist.github.com/TRPB/437f663b545d23cc8a2073253c774be3

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.
