Doesn't work on Corsola chromebook

[Breakfastcrafty]

I was trying to get this working and it works fine when i flash the .bin test file, but when i flash the kpart file, it gives me an error saying that there's no valid image.

You need to flash the kpart file to a valid ChromeOS kernel partition to be able to boot it.

@WeirdTreeThing, the .bin didn't even work for me. I "extracted all" from the .zip arm64 file. I then flashed the bin to the USB with "sudo dd if=MyFiles/Downloads/submarine-arm64/submarine-a64.bin". I also deleted all other partitions on the USB beforehand, and formatted it to GPT Partition. I then shut down my computer, rebooted it, and clicked "Ctrl + U". All that came up was a blank screen. I am on a Google Chinchou on the Corsola board, and help will be greatly appreciated.

That variant sounds new and may not be supported in mainline linux

[ellyq]

yes, that sounds like a new device

Device tree has been added in linux 6.14. I'm planning to rebase submarine on Linux 6.17 once thats released since thats expected to be a LTS kernel.

@Breakfastcrafty mind testing again with the latest submarine version?

[leahanderson1]

nope nvm looks like 6.17 hasn't been merged yet

So this is an issue with all corsolas? I have a Lenovo 100E Gen 4 and run into the same black screen issue.

The issue here is that the Model in question does not have a device tree in mainline in 6.12. If u have a board name I could check for urs as well.

I have a Corsola Rusty. Ive looked in the 6.12 branch and couldn't find it. Did find it in 6.17 though.

We may want to follow the latest stable version for arm

Yeah me too. Looking for method to install linux on my 100e gen4 for 1 year. Still no solution yet.

I just built the bin file using the 6.17 branch but still not a valid image
