[Bug 2084591] Re: [X1E] Galaxy Book 4 Edge Support

[irtix]

It sounds like you're overcomplicating things ...a bit. There's no need
to install any debs or packages (??), nor generating initramfs or
changing udev hooks.

(Should) suffice to flash the IMG to a USB, copy the vmlinuz, initrd,
and dtb files to /boot/, then update the boot entry in
/boot/grub/grub.cfg to point to those files.

(there's also the keyboard fix in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-keyboard.rules to
copy, but that's strictly speaking not needed for booting).

These files can be built separately and copied over from WSL (or also
taken from github now). The already existing initrd can be extracted and
repackaged to include the new modules (same as in #111), instead
generating a new one as well.

Title:
  [X1E] Galaxy Book 4 Edge Support

Status in ubuntu-concept:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  == Device Information ==

  IdentifyingNumber : 6T619FFX700282M
  Name : Galaxy Book4 Edge
  Vendor : SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CO., LTD.
  Version : 2.1
  Caption : Computer System Product

  == Kernel Support ==

  Not booting, awaiting test feedback for latest change

  Original:

  With the release of the ISO image, there appears to be initial support
  for running Ubuntu on devices with the Snapdragon X Elite ARM64 chips.
  I own a Samsung Galaxy Book 4 Edge with a X1E84100 CPU, and I would
  love to get Ubuntu on this device. I cannot offer much in way of code
  contribution but I am willing to perform any testing necessary to
  progress towards getting Ubuntu running on it.

  As a proactive measure, I created a bootable USB with the Ubuntu
  Concept ISO image written to it. I was able to reach a Grub menu and
  used the "Try or install" option on grub. Afterwards, I reached a
  blank black screen for around 30-45 seconds before my laptop rebooted.
  I can provide media if that would help convey the behavior. Lastly, if
  there is any additional information I can provide related to this
  device I'm more than happy to oblige.

  Thanks,

  Patrick W.
