Boot custom kernel on PineBook Pro
07-05-2020, 10:24 AM
Hi!
I am tring to boot my custom non-linux kernel on the PineBook Pro. I've downloaded an image with archlinux and written it on SD card. I can successfully boot archlinux from it. I've tried to put my kernel on the SD card, set the path to my (stripped with bitnutils) kernel in extlinux.conf, but after reboot, I get my default Manjaro system.
Most likely it is not an issue of kernel itself. Otherwise I think that main system won't boot. I think that extlinux can't read/boot the kernel and returns the execution to the main loader.
I've tried to enable menu prompt for extlinux but can't see an effect.
I also have a serial cable connected, but the output during boot looks like mess, don't know why. Linux shell works just fine. See photo![[Image: Eb1EuBjWkAENgMt?format=jpg&name=medium]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eb1EuBjWkAENgMt?format=jpg&name=medium)
What I am missing? Is there a way how to see extlinux boot information on the PineBook Pro?
Thanks in advance!
