So I am trying to port postmarketos, I have gotten very far (everything has compiled) but there is an issue during pmbootstrap install
Before you ask I have asked Matrix/IRC
I noticed my SoC has mainline support so I’m mainlining it
Phone specs:
- Samsung Galaxy A127F
- Exynos 850 SoC
- stock bootloader
Logs:
Files used:
- device-samsung-a12
- linux-samsung-a12
What I think is happening:
mkbootimg
is failing for some reason
What I think can fix it:
-
Disabling it. This wiki page says:
" generate_bootimg | Set this to true for fastboot device, so the
mkinitfs
command will generate aboot.img
file after creating theinitfs
. Addmkbootimg
as dependency to your device’sAPKBUILD
! "I don’t know if a phone using samsungs download mode counts as a “fastboot device” I have tried disabling it but heimdall then stopped at 6% I followed the advice of the wiki but then heimdall got stuck at 27%
-
Adding more arguments. The error is
error: not enough arguments '/tmp/mkinitfs1981624154/boot.img'
so just add the arguments? The problem is I don’t know which ones. According to the wiki I could usebootimg_custom_args
to add custom arguments, but which custom arguments? And where are the files arguments like--kernel
should point to?
Please remind me if I forgot to mention anything and I will happily edit my post :D
Edit: I would just like to say thanks to everyone who has helped me on previous issues and anyone who helps me on any other issue (including this one)
But have you done so in the right channel? 😉 There is #mainline:postmarketos.org for specifically mainlining, it would be better than any other channel you might have tried. I don’t think the people that know how to answer your question are on Lemmy, so it’s better to ask them in that channel.
Someone else who wasn’t mainlining got the same error so I don’t think it is a mainline issue
KDE has a lemmy instance? Lets goooo :D
Since yesterday I think haha. Very recently. Not officially hosted by KDE, it’s not on their infrastructure, but by @carlschwan@lemmy.kde.social so official enough 😜
