Thanks.

@beny, @raja
I am sorry.
I have given up to analyze OVERLAY ISO issues from you.
I am in the maze to find how to search the source of the troubles.
Would you help me if you have an answer?

Thanks.

neko, Boot process will not progress after loading all modules. There is some problem with "initrd.zstd" . ISO boots with different versions of vmlinuz and initrd.zstd.

On your environment OV.Porteus-XFCE4.12-v5.0rc3-k5.17-rc2.iso might not boot.
Because nothing has been changed except the kernel.

hi neko thanks, i try the new kernel, this wifi driver with the new 5.17 kernel do not compile RTL88x2BU so something into the kernel is in a wrong place.... and now the rc2 work without issue:
guest@porteus:~$ uname -a
Linux porteus.example.net 5.17.0-rc2-porteus #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Jan 31 09:19:15 UTC 2022 x86_64 AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
guest@porteus:~$

@beny
Would you tell me the URL of Porteus ISO that includes RTL88x2BU driver.
(lib/modules/N.N.N-porteus/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/88x2bu.ko)
If Porteus doesn't have that driver, you need to build it by youself.

Thanks.

@maia
Thank you for your evaluation.

Thanks.

hi neko this git package is an arch aur package that i use also in slackware environment,btw you have to have the kernel source to build it,with the 5.10 and 5.16 we have no probem to build it,the error is on the 5.17 maybe we can waiting for the 5.17.0 i don't use in porteus the stripped kernel isn't enough for the build..

Post#72 by **raja** » 01 Feb 2022, 16:48

neko, can you please upload vmlinuz,initrd.zstd and 000-kernel.xzm (5.17-rc2) for iso " OV.APorteus-XFCE-v22.01.28-x86_64.iso (861 M)"

Since I have your previous iso, they should work. Thanks.

@raja
You can get those easily from the ISO.

Code: Select all

% su
# ls
OV.APorteus-XFCE-v22.01.28-x86_64.iso
# mkdir mnt
# mount -t iso9660 -o loop OV.APorteus-XFCE-v22.01.28-x86_64.iso mnt
# cp mnt/boot/syslinux/vmlinuz .
# cp mnt/boot/syslinux/initrd.zstd .
# cp mnt/porteus/base/000-kernel.xzm .
# umount mnt
# rm -fr mnt
# md5sum *

Thanks.

neko, It is so easy, but I don't want to download the ISO again(800+MB) as the previous one (rc1) too works with older kernels an initrd.

Okay, forget about my request.
