I recently got a pinebook pro and have been playing around with distros to see what I like best. I found the existing instructions available for Fedora, but they didn't work for the 37 beta currently available. I had already installed Tow-Boot and that continued to work fine. Here's what I had to do:
After rebooting, the system starts up with the newly installed Fedora 37. I also noticed running dnf upgrade created new boot loader entries for the updated kernel packages automatically and it starts up just fine.
Things I have noticed are not working correctly yet:
- Boot from Fedora 37 live image. I used USB, but SD should also work.
- Run the 'Install to Disk' application
- Choose the install destination. I reclaimed all space on the emmc and installed there.
- There will be error boxes that pop up complaining about problems installing the boot loader. You can choose to continue with the installation.
- Once the installer has finished and before rebooting, you need to add a boot loader entry. I did this manually by creating a boot loader entry file here:
Quote:/mnt/sysimage/boot/loader/entries/fedora37.conf
With these contents based on the kernel and initramfs images I had present in /mnt/sysimage/boot:
Quote:title Fedora 37
options $kernelopts
linux /vmlinuz-5.19.7-300.fc37.aarch64
initrd /initramfs-5.19.7-300.fc37.aarch64.img
After rebooting, the system starts up with the newly installed Fedora 37. I also noticed running dnf upgrade created new boot loader entries for the updated kernel packages automatically and it starts up just fine.
Things I have noticed are not working correctly yet:
- Sound
- Does not wake up from sleep after either closing the lid or pressing the power button.
