21:19 <MTecknology> awe.... I finally have one of those really super cheap 3-port usb2 hubs that connect to usb-c ports for my keybeard and mouse /and/ I have the time to play around with this again. I went through and updated m1n1 and the linux image. Then I was able to boot up to the debian installer. Unfortunately, I still don't have keyboard or mouse.

21:20 <MTecknology> eh.. mouse wouldn't work now anyway

21:25 <MTecknology> s/usb2/usb-a/*

21:30 <MTecknology> I see there's a "Linux USB keyboard" on https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW%3ALinux, but I can't comprehend what most of that is trying to say.

21:31 <j_ey> MTecknology: the USB ports dont work with the mainline kernel

21:40 <MTecknology> I followed the Building Linux section (grabbing AsahiLinux/linux.git and config-M1)

21:42 <j_ey> the branch you use is important

21:42 <j_ey> that guide suggest the dart/dev branch

21:43 <j_ey> (although that is quite an old branch now, but it doesnt really matter for playing around)

21:43 <steev> did you build debian installer yourself as well? because if you're just using a di image, it is gonna try to use 5.10 kernel

21:43 <MTecknology> ahh... yeah, I missed that

21:43 <MTecknology> I didn't build the installer, I copy/pasted the wget line

21:43 <j_ey> MTecknology: are you going to install to a usb drive or something?

21:44 <MTecknology> I was hoping to use local disk, but I have spare flash drives if that's needed

21:45 <j_ey> if local disk means the builtin ssd/nvme, you want nvme/new

21:45 <MTecknology> yep, that one

21:45 <j_ey> (nvme/new is a branch)

21:46 <MTecknology> excellent, thanks :)

21:46 <j_ey> sven has been using that branch for some time.. but I still think there should be a 'no warranties' notice

21:47 <MTecknology> This whole thing is 'no warranties' territory, isn't it? :P

21:47 <steev> you'd think that, but there are people still out there that get mad if stuff breaks

21:49 <sven> that branch still needs the "enable all clocks hack" fwiw

21:52 <sven> and you have to be a little bit careful when creating the filesystems

21:52 <sven> make sure you don't overwrite macos or the recovery partitions by accident

21:53 <MTecknology> I'm not finding that hack mentioned

21:54 <j_ey> MTecknology: clk_ignore_unused, you need that on the kernel command line

21:54 <sven> i don't think that's enough. you literally need to enable the ANS clock (or all clocks) from mini

21:54 <sven> i think that branch doesn't have marcan's clock driver yet

21:55 <j_ey> oh right

21:55 <j_ey> https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/SW%3ALinux#nvme--usb

21:55 <j_ey> echo 'pmgr_adt_clocks_enable("/arm-io/ans") ' ..

21:56 <MTecknology> ah, thanks again :)

21:57 <MTecknology> aaand building nvme/new

22:00 <MTecknology> This kinda-sorta reminds me of my first round with gentoo, but more interesting.

22:55 <MTecknology> I still seem to be missing something. I'm on the SW:Linux page, I 1) grabbed the AsahiLinux/linux.git repo and config-M1, 2) ran make [...] oldconfig, accepted default options, built the kernel, 3) grabbed Image(.gz) and t8103-j274.dtb, and 4) the debian initrd.gz mentioned right before the 'Directly' section. Following that Directly section, I 5) ran echo

22:55 <MTecknology> 'pmgr_adt_clocks_enable("/arm-io/ans") ' | python3.9 proxyclient/tools/shell.py, then 6) tried to boot, and 7) https://dpaste.com/9WXS8YQV7 ... clearly did something wrong, and also wound up at the debian installer with no keyboard. The usb hub I'm using - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PY87TBD I tried adding "rw root=/dev/sda1 rootdelay=5 rootfstype=ext4", but that looks like

22:55 <MTecknology> it's for USB installation. Using "earlycon console=tty0 console=tty0" gave me a blank screen. another attempt - https://dpaste.com/6CNCQ9KLR

22:55 <MTecknology> sorry for the wall of text... I know I'm missing things, but no matter how many times I re-read, I'm still struggling.

23:10 <MTecknology> I just modified that initrd.gz was able to boot to a shell, but no keyboard.
