I will have a look at it later this week. Currently I’m trying to write a simple Bash script to do all the work :+1:

I am pretty sure this won’t help but if Fedora is already installed, can this Fedora "media writer tool’ create another distro ?

After installing:

  • Fixed Failed to check for processor microcode upgrades.
  • Installed updates until 27.04.2022

How to install

  1. Download the archive

  3. Install any tool to flash OS images onto SD cards. I tested by etcher
  4. In etcher select the image file and press the flash button. Wait for the process to complete.
  5. Then insert the card into the visionfive v1 board and check the result.

I cannot create network bridge for lxd
I got

"Error: failed to create local member "lxdbr0" in project "default": Failed to run: ip link add lxdbr0 type bridge: Error: Unknown device type.

I think you need to enable Canonical Kernel which has all necessary modules enabled

36

I tried docker.io too and it installed but I cannot start docker service

Update:

Ubuntu Server 22.04 LTS Kernel 5.17.5-generic

Changed

  • Kernel 5.17.5
  • Kernel based on original Ubuntu server build config 5.15.0 – generic. (Included all modules and boot time increased by 2 times. From 30 sec to 78 sec on a class 10 sd card.)
  • ESP & boot partitions reduced.
  • removed cloud-initramfs-copymods

Also you can install kernel severally

I think in the future we can find good set of modules for avoid long time of boot. Generic kernel is redundant functions.

Thank you a lot,
Generic is good for everyone because they can use it however they want without need to rebuild the kernel

and after reboot the board didn’t boot

From your log:
No space left on device

Need more space on disk. About 3 GB

Thank you for this! I just started tinkering with my VisionFive, but I have absolutely no patience for RedHat. Everything’s years out of date if it’s even packaged at all, the config files are in weird places and have bizarre defaults, etc. ad furiatum.
