Fantastic improvement on my manjaro plasma / vim3, especially window movement, 3d graphics in browsers (like tinkercad - now works like a carm).

Impressive work man.

This will make it so much easier for me to just maintain single image per device. While kresque will flash the uboot but will need to see how it reacts with u-boot.ext in /boot.

Please rename s/kde-plazma/kde-plasma/

uboot works fine with extlinux, u-boot.ext no need at all !

Please rename s/kde-plazma/kde-plasma/
tnx will be fixed

UPDATE: fixed

Armbian installation added to Krescue online scripts v0.25

easy and fast install to emmc directly from clouds :wink:

uboot.ext is for chainloading on top of android bsp uboot in emmc.

no need at all on emmc :wink:

The one known purpose for chainloading was using mainline u-boot to override HDR properties being set in vendor u-boot that the kernel didn’t handle. Linux 5.14+ now handles those so there is no need for chainloading. If there is another use-case? - speak up :slight_smile:

tnx for additional info

Text offset if one of the reason we used it.
As we will have to use a different method to compile our kernels.

There’s no reason for that text-offset hack (which is why the kernel dropped it). It does mean using a different image format though. Have a look at how LE builds a uImage file.

Yes this is the issue, Our aim was to use a single kernel pkg as much as possible. I will start maintaining separate pkgs for vendor specific that is the best option for now to keep all device support in shape but that bring a lot of extra work.

Thank though.

Fedora audio bug is also fixed?
