So I am trying to port postmarketos, I have gotten very far (everything has compiled) but there is an issue during pmbootstrap install

Before you ask I have asked Matrix/IRC

I noticed my SoC has mainline support so I’m mainlining it

Phone specs:

  • Samsung Galaxy A127F
  • Exynos 850 SoC
  • stock bootloader

Logs:

Files used:

What I think is happening:

  • mkbootimg is failing for some reason

What I think can fix it:

  • Disabling it. This wiki page says:

    " generate_bootimg | Set this to true for fastboot device, so the mkinitfs command will generate a boot.img file after creating the initfs. Add mkbootimg as dependency to your device’s APKBUILD! "

    I don’t know if a phone using samsungs download mode counts as a “fastboot device” I have tried disabling it but heimdall then stopped at 6% I followed the advice of the wiki but then heimdall got stuck at 27%

  • Adding more arguments. The error is error: not enough arguments '/tmp/mkinitfs1981624154/boot.img' so just add the arguments? The problem is I don’t know which ones. According to the wiki I could use bootimg_custom_args to add custom arguments, but which custom arguments? And where are the files arguments like --kernel should point to?

Please remind me if I forgot to mention anything and I will happily edit my post :D

Edit: I would just like to say thanks to everyone who has helped me on previous issues and anyone who helps me on any other issue (including this one)

    But have you done so in the right channel? 😉 There is #mainline:postmarketos.org for specifically mainlining, it would be better than any other channel you might have tried. I don’t think the people that know how to answer your question are on Lemmy, so it’s better to ask them in that channel.
