Slarm64 on Pinebook [Slackware Arm - 64 bit]
#22
@icy-p I had to install a package `zstd`in my distro to be able to unpack this unusual compression type.
Then run
$unzstd filename
Source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4535...ng-tar-zst

Unpacking to an .img from that worked.

However, having tried both Etcher and command line dd, I can't get anything to show on screen after the initial text roll down that ends with "Starting kernel..."
After that, black screen. Checked md5 sum before unpacking.
Other distros work (namely KDE, Armbian, Manjaro (with errors after sleep/hibernate).

The links to download from the main Pine64 wiki are mostly broken, anything beginning 3space.xyz.

There are now three (3!) URLS to download from, with no explanation of the differences:
1. shelldweller.beauxbead... as per links in this thread
2. https://fail.pp.ua/slackware/images/pinebook/
3. http://dl.slarm64.org/slackware/images/

as well as the 4th aforementioned broken 3space.xyz URLs from this thread and the Pine64 wiki on 1080p OSes available: https://wiki.pine64.org/wiki/Pinebook_So...#Slackware

I see there are differences in releases for the 1080p Pinebook I have, and the non-1080p Pinebook. However, the release directories linked to don't provide an indication of whether they are suitable for the 1080p, and I wonder if that is why I get black-screened after the starting kernel message?
By way of example: here is the naming convention used, the latest version I tried,
slarm64-current-aarch64-xfce-rootfs-20201023-5.9.3-pinebook-build-20201102.img.zst

and the parent dirs don't make a distinction between pinebook versions either.

Looks like I'm stuck for the time being on either KDE or Armbian, both of which use a legacy kernal 3.10.x
