Hello,
Where can I download the latest APorteus release?
I love these distros. Thanks for your jobs!
I cannot wait for slackware based Porteus, but my favourite Linux.

Hello
keczko.z, welcome to the forum.
I believe the current APorteus releases are posted here:
But I could be wrong.

hi neko, "strange" behavior after you choose the version of kernel and start the build the kernel config do not link to the directory of build, the kernel config start again insted to load the choose one,maybe am i a bit rusty.

Could you please test it again using new the r8188eu.ko.zst?
you are genius - TP-Link TL-WN722N (chip r8188eu) Wireless adapter is work fine for me
Thanks.
AcnapyxoB, I have this diff kernel config log
https://pastebin.com/Q0f9DtNw
and I don't found in it activated -
CONFIG_CRYPTO_AES_X86_64: AES cipher algorithms (x86_64).
In
slackware/slackware64-current/source/k/kernel-configs too
https://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware ... l-configs/
How about to update
cryptsetup-2.4.2-x86_64-1.txz and test it?

@Blaze
Thank you very much for your testing report.
I think that the kernel source "drivers/staging/r8188eu/os_dep/os_intfs.c" will be updated.
@keczko.z
Please refer to @Ed_P's response.
@Ed_P
Thank you for your help.
<"ISO Builder"> and <Examples ISOs built with "ISO Builder"> are updated neary every weekly depending on kernel updating.
These ISOs that have the most recent kernel are uploaded in the 3rd article of "ArchLinux packages manager for Porteus" thread,
whose URL was pointed out by you.
@beny
"Kernel Builder"
"choose the version of kernel and start the build the kernel config"
---->
Did you download kernel source?
Did you expand kernel source?
Would you upload it's error message?
Thanks.

Blaze what do you mean "to update cryptsetup-2.4.2-x86_64-1.txz and test it?"
May be to "txz2xzm" ryptsetup-2.4.2-x86_64-1.txz and load it like module!?

I found it.
It's quite a scroll to get to it but it's there.

AcnapyxoB, I checked kernel config on
Code: Select all
Device Drivers --->
[*] Multiple devices driver support (RAID and LVM) --->
<*> Device mapper support
<*> Crypt target support
-*- Cryptographic API --->
<*> AES cipher algorithms (x86_64)
as you can see we have 'AES cipher algorithms' without
(x86_64)
modinfo doesn't know about aes_x86_64 module, but
aes module (alias: crypto-aes) he knows (AES cipher algorithms)
I applyed this fix for initrd.xz
1) open /initrd/init > linuxrc
2) find
Code: Select all
for x in dm_crypt cryptd cbc sha256_generic aes_generic aes_x86_64; do modprobe $x 2>/dev/null; done
3) replace with
Code: Select all
for x in dm_crypt cryptd cbc sha256_generic aes_generic aes; do modprobe $x 2>/dev/null; done
find
Code: Select all
/opt/000-kernel/sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop2 crypt
replace with
Code: Select all
/sbin/cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/loop2 crypt
- Make a backup of /boot/syslinux/initrd.xz
- Copy the new initrd.xz, reboot and be happy
A new
initrd.xz UPDATED
Another hack try kernel 5.15.3 from this post
Porteus Kernel Builder (Пост Blaze #85754)
but use a new 000-kernel.xzm https://www.mediafire.com/file/njcoxp7m ... l.xzm/file

The problem is simple, modprobe ( busybox ) in initrd is not able to work on compressed modules ( dm-crypt.ko.zst ).

good point, which also raises the question: why are these kernel modules compressed?
presumably this became a kernel compilation default at some point, which makes sense on a conventionally installed system (to save space?)
but generally with a porteus module (.xzm) the practice is to extract all archives before compressing the squashfs, which achieves a more efficient compression.
(basically because you can't compress an archive any more than it already is..)
so, i suppose.. would be in config :
Code: Select all
CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_NONE=y
# CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_GZIP is not set
# CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_XZ is not set
# CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_ZSTD is not set

To summarise from test of the
AcnapyxoB
Code: Select all
- kernel 5.15.3, new initrd.xz - no success
- kernel 5.15.3, new updated initrd.xz - no success
- new 000-kernel 5.15.3, new updated initrd.xz - no success
- kernel 5.12.14, new updated initrd.xz - no success
- kernel 5.12.14, old initrd.xz (from rc3) - OK (encrypted .dat save file works)

To summarise from test of the AcnapyxoB
which, if 5.12.14 has uncompressed kernel modules(i think so) , would tend to confirm
