Attempting to install Void Linux, boots into a black screen
#2
Hey,

Not sure if you managed to solve this yet, but I'm just putting this out for others facing the same problem.

When following the guide it seems you can completely skip installing pinebookpro-kernel and u-boot-menu.
Instead you should install pinebookpro-base, this seems to install a bunch of packages needed to succesfully boot.
This also creates a U-Boot script for you, so you can skip creating the extlinux file.
The rest of the guide stays the same.

This fixed te blacks screen issue for me, so it might also fix it for others.

Cheers!
