<chadmed> battery life and thermals seem significantly better under gentoo
<chadmed> i get about 8 hours of general desktop use and the machine doesnt warm up noticeably unless im trying to watch 4k youtube
<chadmed> idk what clang does for -mpcu=apple-m1 but its some sort of evil magic i guess
jannau has joined #asahi-alt
<jannau> chadmed: dracut is strange. it transform apple-mailbox to apple_mailbox and then complains that it can't find the module and includes no modules at all in the initrd
<chadmed> yeah i think im just gonna yeet it out of the script and use genkernel instead even though its dog slow and overengineered
<chadmed> but hey, it wouldnt be gentoo without dog slow, overengineered software installation mechanics :P
<jannau> hmm, it fails to find "dwc3" if that is the first module in add_drivers
<jannau> that was a missing `depmod`, apple_mailbox problem still persists though
<chadmed> thats so bizarre
<chadmed> unless youve made manual edits to the kernel config all of those things should be modules
<chadmed> were you booting asahi with a custom kernel?
<jannau> is '${add_drivers/-/_}' a bash-ism which does what it looks like?
<jannau> I'm now using a custom kernel, I wiped the asahi partition
<chadmed> yeah it is, it substitutes - for _
<chadmed> if you built dwc3 or apple-mailbox in with your current config then thats probably why its failing to find them
<jannau> but only a single time
<jannau> I'm pretty sure it fails due to the substitution
<jannau> kernel I'm trying to build the initramfs for is still based on the asahi config
<chadmed> interesting
<chadmed> because it worked for me from a clean asahi install but then someone filed an issue yesterday saying it didnt work for them
<chadmed> idk how it can be so unreliable and broken
<jannau> it doesn't complain about dwc3 anymore after depmod (after I modified the config to remove the "ARCH" localversion)
<chadmed> are you passing --kver 5.18.0-asahi to it
<jannau> yes
<jannau> depmod seems to be broken
<jannau> modules.dep only contains info for dwc3
<jannau> probably because modules are zstd compressed and kmod has USE=-zstd
<jannau> chadmed: yes, re-emerging kmod with USE=zstd fixed it
<chadmed> i wonder how it worked for me then
<chadmed> huh my kmod was already built with zstd
<jannau> differrent profile? I have the desktop/plasma profile

<chadmed> i kept the default profile and it booted fine, very odd
