This kernel will run from a USB SSD.īy the way, EndeavourOS 64 Bit on USB SSD runs Budgie very nicely. Is the Raspberry Pi Foundation kernel patched to boot on Arch Linux Arm. This kernel will not run off a USB SSD that I know of. Which I believe is the mainline kernel compiled for aarch64. In a nut shell, the 64 Bit image uses the Remove the micro SD card and leave the USB SSD connected.Īfter a reboot from step 2, the script that installs EndeavourOS and a Desktop Environment should be installed and ready to run. The script will create a new partition table, partition, and format the USB SSD. It works best if the USB SSD is connected at boot up. If you switch to the linux-rpi kernel the config-update script will then ask if you want to copy the OS to a USB SSD. To use a USB SSD, choose to switch the kernels. That script will ask if you want to switch kernels from the linux-aarch64 kernel (default in the 64 bit image) to the linux-rpi kernel which is the Raspberry Pi Foundation kernel with patch to run on arch linux. To employ a USB SSD one has to do step 1 to a micro SD.Īfter step 1 to a uSD, connect the micro SD card to the RPi 4, and run the step 2 script named “config-update”. If you are using the aarch64 64 Bit OS, you cannot install step 1 to a USB SSD because the Arch Linux Arm image uses the linux-aarch64 kernel. Should be able to boot directly from the SSD for Step 2. If you are using the armv7h 32 Bit OS, you can install step1 direct to a USB SSD, the script will ask if the target device is a micro SD or SSD. Your observations and advice are more than welcome! So, the part where I log in as root to begin the next scripted stage is stopped cold (There is no card in the Pi because I want it to boot from the attached SSD). According to the Disks (gnome-disks) app, my SSD seems to show a full Arch install.īut, Stage 2 can’t get off the ground because of this boot failure, “Unable to read partition as FAT.” (Pic2). Stage 1 (the Arch download) seemed to work well. This SSD previously booted Manjaro with no problem. The eeprom update to enable the SSD boot occurred last summer before I ever installed the other distros. I have several other SSDs that boot just fine on the Pi4. The ability to have the same experience on my Raspberry Pi 4b is my new goal, but i seem to have run into a problem. As former Arch user, the install of eos was a pleasure. I’m really enjoying Endeavour Budgie on my x86_64 machine, a nine year old Dell Optiplex.
