Short update on status.
Network problems are overcome by USB tether to an iPhone with Mobile Hotspot enabled. Out of the box, this Questing on the 6.19 kernel just works. Devices both produce dialogs for connection trust, and then the Gnome Shell network widget changes state.

This is my "light at the end of the tunnel" post. It's suggested that many images can't make full use of available RAM, and I have 64GB on this example. Second, I made a new BTRFS partition in 800GB freespace on the NVMe. I'll report back, after I bust out subvols, rsync a bunch into a chroot, and start tinkering. EXAMPLE: Also build subvolume: path @var@lib@docker |

Hi @JeremiahCornelius , welcome here. For bringup its good to have these extracts (easiest to get from Windows):

Thanks for inviting me and the welcome. I will get to the extraction of these details tomorrow, and supply these with the aim of contributing to an eventual device specific DTB, etc. Yeah, I reserved 70GB for the Windows 11 partition. Even with a heavily configured WSL environment, it's a pain to use. I think that the windows terminals being so bad were a driving motivation for the creation of popular IDEs! LOL If I were to build a debbootstrap resembling your January
I assume these are the Ubuntu/Debian packages, and those labeled "qcom" are for the devkit hardware, but it like to validate this. |

Ubuntu Concept is using the name qcom-x1e throughout their repo: https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-concept/ubuntu/+source/linux/+git/questing Since my tree mainly is based on the Ubuntu tree, I use the same naming. Also the same default config, plus a few small bits. So the kernel packages I build should be drop-in replacements, yes. The actual hardware supported is... all arm64 that Canonical chooses to support. Meaning also Rockchip, Broadcom, CIX. My repo (this one) also has a rebuild.sh borrowed from pop-os to build the whole packages as defined by Canonical. |

A dmesg output and lsusb -tv would probably be great. |

I'm getting to prep some of this information and participate in advancing support for the new HP Omnibook series with x1p. My latest progress has been to install the latest of the 6.19-rc8 Concept Images on the target NVMe without the broken subiquity installer. Instead of a couple hours doing this by hand, I spend several days on writing and debugging bash scripting to run start-to-finish from the booted ISO with debootstrap, resulting in a minimal but stable working installation with:
All sources are pulled from Ubuntu repositories and relevant PPAs, except for Jens' kernel related packages and DTB information, that is fetched (cleverly) from Google Drive and Gtithub. I'll push the working version to my Github, and update with the link and README. I bodged this from a bunch of earlier scripts from my own collection and other sources, mainly from Pine64 and Armbian forums for unsupported board/OS combinations. I laid out the functions in clear sections and outlined the main function procedure. When I got stuck, I'd cheat and have ChatGPT analyze failures, and sent my final script and spec to ChatGPT for documentation by internal commenting. There are a bunch of sanity-checks so you don't make blatant mistakes, but installation still requires understanding of devices and partition implications. Secrets gathered from user are stored as runtime variabless, but never committed to screen or log output. The result is 100% reproduceable installations.

I'd mentioned firmware patching and dependency on DTB name, etc earlier. Edited to recognize device-tree model string, This path for loading firmware isn't recognized when booting the system. The preferred, future path for which I will make private edits to firmware scripts: Any experience and input about this is welcome! |

-fe1 is the SKU discriminator that differentiates between the X1E (Hamoa) SoC and X1P42100 (Purwa) SoC. That's all, my invention, even upstream. If I remember correctly they even have the same HWIDs. Now try to select the right dtb 😁 |

Re ath11k / WCN6855: It's not recognized due to an ID mismatch. But the Realtek driver rtw88_8822bu thinks its his, but apparently not really. Fix will be to acquaintance the ath11k driver with this ID. Could you please add the lspci -tvnn and maybe also lspci -vvv output? This should help seeing whats installed and how to access it. |

Thanks for being patient during this last week, where I wrestled with contingencies from work. Since I have baseline functionality on the Omnibook 5, I'm doing all my Github and forum work, etc. from the machine as dogfood. I moved all my firmware blobs to the eventual ideal I rebuilt the initramfs and updated GRUB. No new messages. I have
I will do a quick Windows reboot, and dump my ACPI information too. |

Cool, I extracted the tables from it. Thank you!. Could you also get the hwinfo64 log from Windows? This one is usually very helpful in determining which buses are actually active. |

Jens, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MeLMd-tNnhh4HTqk05SI85YoomgCwCjs/view?usp=drive_link Win11 with the new HP updates is a PITA. Secureboot is re-enabled every time, and I have to dance with the firmware to re-enable GRUB. The next step from me is running AeoB to fully extract json dumps from the Windows drivers, and get these pushed to Alex Vinarskis - qcom-aeob-dumps, if successful. |

If anyone wants to make a jlathe ISO image into a bootable installation on their target system, I published my installer script here. It's network dependent, and makes strong choices for btrfs and LUKS encryption. This SHOULD work on any target system, and could probably work with any of the ISO images with a little tweaking. Right now it's got hard kernel links referenced from: https://github.com/JeremiahCornelius/snapdragon-questing-debootstrap-btrfs-luks-uefi |

I'm kicking off a discussion here, branching from the "Concept Snapdragon" forum on Ubuntu Discourse. Jens suggested I continue the side-topic on HP Omnibook 5 here.
I got a hold of an HP Omnibook 5 16” OLED with 1TB storage and 64 GB RAM. These are cheap and plentiful, well-made x1p-42-100 machines. I got this one for 800 USD, taxed and shipped.
It would be a real service to get these machines functional under a user-friendly Linux.
Confession: I'm an aarch64 junkie. Stop me before I buy another board for Armbian.
Since I have built system images with debbootstrap, a DTB folder and kernel-sources many, many times - and used these techniques to put Debian on Apple Silicon from the Asahi base, I assumed getting a baseline Linux on this machine would be easier. Haha!
Rather than re-hash the Discourse thread, I link the top message of our sub-topic here:
