mount your rootfs image and edit /etc/fstab and remove everything there than it should boot fine to gui

 

[degdag new dev]

does it support anbox?

Yes the kernel has been compiled with anbox support as well

 

[artful]

Fstab is empty。
I think it is possible that the SDCard is not decrypted, so I will try it when I have spare time.

Ofc storage need to be decrypted to get it working

so where is the complete installation guide? i mean step by step. i downloaded manjaro lomiri from here but no chance amd i tried kde beta4. it gives kernel panic. am i doing right?
1. copy postmarketOS.img
2. flash kernel.img
3. reboot
should i change file system to f2fs?

For manjaro lomiri you will need to empty /etc/fstab from any partition mount point
Also can you provide pic or dmesg to see the error

is there any created log file?
how can i empty fstab?
is the kernel verison of img file important?

it's depending on what os your using . But most of than log file will be under /var/log.

just open it with a text editor and remove all line there.

I recommend you to use the last kernel version I uploaded Wich you will have to Copy the kernel modules to rootfs .

能不能给个详细的教程，我不知道怎么做 能不能给个详细的教程，我不知道怎么做

 

[xiaoyaozi]

Can you give a detailed tutorial, I don't know how to do it

Download a compatible image or create one using pmbootstrap (see 1, 2)(advanced).

Pmbootstrap: basically the same standard process, but using split:

pmbootstrap init -> Xiaomi -> Sagit
pmbootstrap install --split
pmbootstrap export
adb shell mkdir /data/.stowaways
adb push /tmp/postmarketOS-export/xiaomi-sagit-root.img /data/.stowaways/postmarketOS.img

Note: image should contain only the rootfs partition.

This should boot, but there will be errors because lack of this exact kernel moduels, to fix this, edit the .img.
You should be able to do this with other arm64 .img, containg only rootfs, also.

Inside the image:
You can do this on your Linux PC or directly on phone using TWRP.
Copy kernel modules from 5.11.14-xiaomi-msm8998.zip to /lib/modules/
Copy firmware files from firmware.zip to /lib/firmware/.
E.g. using TWRP:

adb push 5-11-14-xiaomi-msm8998.zip /sdcard
adb push firmware.zip /sdcard
adb shell
cd /sdcard
unzip 5-11-14-xiaomi-msm8998.zip
unzip firmware.zip
mkdir /mnt/rootfs
mount -o loop -t ext4 /data/.stowaways/postmarketOS.img /mnt/rootfs
cp -r 5.11.14-xiaomi-msm8998/ /mnt/rootfs/lib/modules
cp -r firmware/* /mnt/rootfs/lib/firmware/
umount /mnt/rootfs/
reboot

Seems all firmware files was included in postmarketos edge channel now, but wifi isn't working

Update: v6.1_rc3 fixs it.
