Surface Go 3 - unsupported kernel version - 6.1.68 required
roukydesbois opened this issue · comments
Hello!
As I have been informed in this issue, the reason why my rebuild of nixos doesn't work should be related to the version of the kernel that the patches are applied to.
I don't think I'm yet knowledgeable enough to suggest a pull request myself, so could you please:
- tell me if I'm right assuming that the current state of the surface-go hardware configuration is 6.1.62 as it looks like here
- help me in modifying the hardware configuration so that the kernel that is used is 6.1.68 (it is the one supported by the linux-surface team)
Thanks!
You probably just need to change this string?
Ah. Here we actually build this version: https://github.com/NixOS/nixos-hardware/blob/7fd5585e07386e8cf1f335b3950e52dc1f7d4b5a/microsoft/surface/common/kernel/linux-6.1.x/default.nix
maybe @stigtsp has time for a bump?

I had indeed tried, but the value needs to be from a list, and you answered too fast already 😄
In the best case you just change the hash to an empty string and bump the version:
Than nix will complain with the correct hash that you can put in this file.
@roukydesbois is it possible for you to use 6.6.x instead btw? i've been wondering why 6.1 is specifically set for the surface-go variants.
I'm happy to use a more recent kernel - as an FYI and if I understand well, the linux-surface team only supports 6.6.6: https://github.com/linux-surface/kernel/tags?after=v4.14.334

I think this is just the kernel version the patches were rebased against last.
Can you test the following in your config? If it works well, I suggest we remove the 6.1.x kernel to reduce the work in keeping them updated.
microsoft-surface.kernelVersion = "6.6";I had to set the value to 6.6.8 (because it must be from a list of values and 6.6 was not in it), but for now it hasn't crashed as fast as it did with the 6.1 version - I'll update you here once the build is done.
Hello !
After a few hours (and cleaning a few gigs of space), the build work well!
I'll close this, and I imagine you're good to go to bump the correct versioin @stigtsp !
Thanks to both of you for the swift help!

Good news! I'm gonna propose that we remove 6.1 in that case, and will bump to 6.6.10 soonish.
