manual install archlinux - BlackMage - 07-23-2024
it is possible to install an actual archlinux with kernel with ext4 and xfs support?
on a PINE A64
RE: manual install archlinux - tophneal - 07-23-2024
yes, you can manually install Arch to an SD or hunt down one of the existing IMGs still out there, then just install xfsprogs or run 'sudo modprobe xfs' for XFS support. EXT4 should already be enabled by default.
have you encountered issues enabling either, already?

can i inherit the default kernel config?

i would imagine so since support for the A64 has been added to the mainline kernel already.

yep, flashing that image will get you an arch install with mainline kernel. you'll just have to go through updating it once it's booted.
RE: manual install archlinux - BlackMage - 02-20-2025
puh, the images works not. after i copied the image and try to boot, the system gets online but not reachable(no ping or ssh possible, but the system goes online, but only at first start after flash
have anyone an idea? it is possible that the system crashes?
or should i try another microsd?
RE: manual install archlinux - tophneal - 02-20-2025
have you tried writing that img to an sd card and booting from it to see if it behaves the same way? if it boots the way it should from sd, you may be able to use the archinstall script to install arch to your emmc. alternatively, you could try installing manually through the arch arm instructions: https://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv8/allwinner/pine64

I haven't been able to boot those images either, booting from SD Card.
Is there a way to manually install, but get that HDMI display support that these images have?
Thanks!

you should get that out-of-the-box with the manual arch install. the a64 has mainline kernel support, so you shouldn't have to do anything extra to utilize the hdmi output.
