Installing Megi's pre-compiled kernel
This tutorial is based on Debian Linux package management:
Install dependencies:
- u-boot-tools allows you to make images
- rsync allows you to copy and backup
# apt-get update # apt-get install rsync u-boot-tools
First, download the the PinePhone CE (1.2) Kernel:
# wget https://xff.cz/kernels/5.8/pp2.tar.gz
Extract the kernel:
Create a separate folder for organization and separation: Extract the a "tar" "gz" file using tar.
# tar -zxvf pp2.tar.gz
A default Mobian Installation looks like this:
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type /dev/sda1 * 1953 250000 248048 121.1M 83 Linux /dev/sda2 250001 7421874 7171874 3.4G 83 Linux
Notice the small size on the /boot partition.
This means we probably will have to, either kill the partition or resize both partitions:
Easiest thing to do:
Please all all the new files on the /dev/sda2 (they'll probably be more than 121 M)
Next we need to update the initrd image, to have the new modules, (the initrd image is a RAM disk helping the system to boot and needs kernel drivers while booting):
How to get and update initrd image:
Mount Mobian boot image: Make sure your the root user for this for ease of installation:
# mkdir debianboot # mount /dev/sda1 /media/debianboot # cd / # mkdir -p /usr/src/initrdimagecd . # cd /usr/src/initrdiamge # cp /media/debianboot/initrd.img-5.7-pinephone . # zcat initrd.img-5.7-pinephone | cpio -idmv # rm initrd.img-5.7-pinephone # cd /usr/src/pp2-5.8 # rsync -avh pp2.5.8/modules initrdimage/lib/modules #
