Hi All,
I released a new Void PPC img with a boot and root partition including the void-installer today.
Download:
void-live-powerpc-20211007.img.tar.gz 3.3G (Img size:
7.5G)
md5sum:
fb46baf2e013a1dfb641345a49132b77
New:
- Packages updated
- Added kernel 5.10.39 and the RC4 of kernel 5.15 for the X1000 and X5000 to the small fat boot partition
- Added initial ramdisks for booting with a label for the X1000 and X5000 to the small fat boot partition
- Added device tree blob files for the X5000/20 and X5000/40 to the small fat boot partition
- Added kernel modules for the kernel 5.10.39 and 5.15-rc4
- Added labels for the two partitions in this img. ("VOID_BOOT" for the small fat boot partition and "void" for the ext4 root partition for booting with a label.)
- Added "ntfs-3g" for Roland
- Added WebKit web browser Epiphany
- Added Eolie WebKit web browser
- Updated Arctic Fox to version 27.12.0
- Renamed the libglamoregl.so to libglamoregl.so.bak

You can image your USB stick with Void with the following commands (Example for sdb):
-
Code: Select all
dd if=void-live-powerpc-20211007.img of=/dev/sdb
Output:
Code: Select all
15695871+0 records in
15695871+0 records out
8036285952 bytes (8.0 GB, 7.5 GiB) copied, 2364.19 s, 3.4 MB/s
-
You can use
GParted for enlarging the partition and resizing the root file system.
Booting Void from a USB stick (Example):
X5000:
-
Output: ... scaning usb for storage devices... 1 Storage Device(s) found ...
-
-
Code: Select all
X5000> setenv bootargs root=LABEL=void rootdelay=5
-
Code: Select all
X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage-5.15
-
Code: Select all
X5000> fatload usb 0:1 1c00000 cyrus_p5040.dtb
-
Code: Select all
X5000> fatload usb 0:1 2000000 uinitrd-5.10
-
X1000:
IMPORTANT: Please connect the USB stick after you have reached the CFE with the
f key.
Code: Select all
CFE> setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=void rootdelay=5"
Code: Select all
CFE> ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs usbdisk0:initrd-5.10.img
Code: Select all
CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-5.15
You can log into this system as
amigaone with the password "
amigaone".
Installation
You can install Void with the installer (Desktop link) or image the ext4 root partition on the USB stick to a partition on your hard disk with "
dd".
For example:
Code: Select all
dd if=/dev/sdd2 of=/dev/sdb6 && e2fsck -f /dev/sdb6 && resize2fs /dev/sdb6 && tune2fs -L void /dev/sdb6
The installer works very well. Please select the bootloader entry "none Manage bootloader otherwise" because we boot Void with U-Boot or with CFE on our AmigaOnes.
Cheers,
Christian
