For xf86 it's only the ABI 24 that matters. I have attached the Xorg.0.log which you can see is for xserver 1.20.3 and does successfully initialise amdgpu Yes, if there's not much change in the xorg-server then it can work. Forgot the xorg-server hasn't had a major update in the past year. We'll re...

Fatdog 800 + mesa 18.3.6 + xf86-video-amdgpu 19.1 WILL BOOT That's three out of three boots. GLXgears scores 12,500, so it's working properly. But that can't really work. The xf86-video-amdgpu-19.1.0-x86_64-1 package is compiled for 810's xorg-server and will not work with the one in 800/803. So wh...

Looking at the major distributions FD810 is between Bionic and Buster. so I installed the mesa 18.3.6 package to make it like Buster.
I don't understand, 810 includes mesa 18.3.6.

Thanks Barry. I have a similar script that uses modinfo and outputs the missing firmware, pretty similar really. It also takes in two text files called firmware-delete and firmware-keep. Those files list firmware we don't want (too big, too old, etc) and firmware we want to include. The problem we r...

EDIT: A newer version of the firmware (iwlwifi-cc-a0-48.ucode) is available here and fixes the Bluetooth issue. If we rebuild the kernel before final I'll add that. 3) I couldn't get nvidia-418.43-k4.19.24_32_44.sfs to work on my nvidia 1030 card Those packages are kernel specific, so none will wor...

The solution to getting Fatdog to boot with AMDGPU was to boot without the firmware, create a 1GB swapfile, then boot with the firmware. Glad you got it to work. You could also try splitting the initrd into a smaller initrd and a fd64.sfs http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/faqs/huge-initrd.html a...

May i suggest that a fifth option "integrated initrd" can also be offered in remaster script ? That's something we should do. I'm glad you figured out what to do with it, I haven't did a good job documenting what the kernel/initrd thing is. For everyone else, it's the kernel with the firm...

Even ignoring all other aspects of the kernel/hardware bug, doesn't those who designed the codec chip think of over-current protection? It's just an extra transistor and a resistor ... something that virtually cost nothing in an IC.
Hard to believe there no current limiter, just wow.

vtpup, My only suggestion is to try each of: card 1 device 0, card 1 device 1 from Set Default Sound card. After choosing one open AlsaMixer and make sure that it's not muted. Muted controls wil have MM at the bottom. Press the m key to toggle mute/un-mute. I've attached a picture of AlsaMixer that ...

FYI I did test sound out last night, and checked all ALSA settings for muting and tested every one of the soundcards listed. None worked. I did some online research and yes this is a formerly reported problem . There were some remedies listed. I haven't fully absorbed yet here (toward the bottom of...

Followed your instructions and now with 4.19.32 kernel and modules, the R11 boots up with full desktop resolution, with both keyboard and touchpad working. Networking/Wifi connect fine. Touchscreen works too. No sound yet, but I'll continue looking at that later. Great! For the sound problem the mo...

The new kernel allows FatDog64-800 to run on the Acer R11 Chromebook (and presumably other Chromebooks with the Intel Braswell chipset) with keyboard now functional. That's great. Does audio work as well? But if I understand correct you also had to split initrd for the C720 peppy. I'll try that fir...

I'm trying to update to the new kernel and modules. But I'm having problems making changes to initrd in Fatdog64. I'm not sure why, because it seemed to open and allow changes a few days ago. Now it opens but just says I can't write to it. Read only filesystem. I'm working on a USB thumb drive. If ...

Just wanted to inform you that I tried fatdog on an Acer C720 (2955U CPU, 2G ram) and it would not boot. Not enough memory. I've got an Acer C720, 800 boots fine for me. But I don't have the stock firmware on it. I have firmware from John Lewis from 12/2014 I think, Anyway, boots fine on there. You...

Note: The file vmlinus-initrd-4.19.32, is not used in the ISO. This is for booting with just this file and the fd64.sfs. Haven't ...

Likely possibility is that kernel module pinctrl_cherryview needs to be a built-in kernel module instead of a loaded module (config=y, not m). It has been reported online that the module needs to be built in. I have checked successful Ubuntu 18.10 kernel and it is indeed built-in there. I'm going t...

chiefengineer, There is a 8812au driver included. There's several 8812au drivers out there. The one we included worked the best for the folks on team Fatdog that have that device, hopefully it works for you too. We don't have the 8821ce, if you post a link to the source we may include it if it build...
