Arch linux

[mestrade]

Installed successfully today.
I used a M2 Sata where I installed the installation image following the arch linux install tutorial, then the boot kernel on an USB stick, but the existing one on the mmc should be ok.
Then installed the OS on the internal mmc.
Now it boot and it seems reliable. I will see how it behaves during the next few days.

Great to hear. I’m assuming you did this without EFI? I tried the latest Debian installer which has EFI and I couldn’t boot it.

[mestrade]

Yes, classic method with ext4load Image and dtd and using root on /dev/sda which is an M2 Sata.

You followed the ExpressoBin instructions? Uboot ‘n all?

Any issues with packages, non-working drivers?

Way-to-go @mestrade!

@technosf – so I found 2 issues :
– you have to blacklist mv88e6xxx – otherwise all of the ethernet ports vanish
– usb3 read performance is really slow. Not sure why .
– this is on 6.2.10-1-aarch64-ARCH

.. if anyone had the same issue (and I don’t mean to hijack the thread) , i’d appreciate the help .
