Main version download: full LiveUSB tree with installdog.sh installer and syslinux + systemd-boot (gummiboot) bootloaders.
Also contain config for grub4dos and ventoy_grub.cfg.

UEFI + Legacy/CSM compatible.

The advantage of syslinux bootloader command interface - easy to combine multiple cheatcodes (boot options)

Examples:
dogram text - not run startx.
dogram autorun=command - instead of startx run command
dogram nomodeset nonvidia - disable Linux kernel modesetting (all GPU drivers)
dogram modprobe.blacklist=radeon,amdgpu - disable AMD GPU drivers (in case of Intel iGPU working + AMD dGPU have hardware problem)
dogram nonvidia modprobe.blacklist=nouveau - disable NVIDIA GPU drivers (in case of dGPU problem + AMD/Intel iGPU working)
dogram nonvidia load=nv390 - force load of legacy NVIDIA driver

Kernel 6.10 in this build have problem with path i applied intel-nvme-remap from EndlessOS

Can not boot in configurations with Intel RST.

I will remove path, rebuild kernel, rebuild nvidia modules (because it depends of kernel modules), and upload new version in 3-5 days.
I will apply same patch to kernel 5.10 instead. Because i want to keep it for legacy 340xx nvidia driver.

UPD. I rebuild kernels and modules. But i want to test it first on real hardware for sure.

This patch for kernel 5.10. intel-nvme-remap I use it before for bullseye build.
This version works with 6.1 kernel. But i want to drop 6.1-amd64 kernel. And use 6.10 and 5.10 only.
5.10 is important to support legacy nvidia 340xx driver on notebooks with optimus.

Intel makes a problem. And not want to fix it. Affected some notebooks with Core i3 i5 i7 from 8th to 10th gen.

UPD2: Done. New version 2024.10.08 uploaded. Files changed:

Changes to linuxrc script for slightly different extramod= param usage

I use one module with firmware for both amd64 and i386 versions.
I place firmware module to live/firmware/firmware-VERSION.squashfs
And i386 version to live32/live/ folder.

I place second amd64 kernel 5.10 to live/dk5/ folder.
It contains vmlinuz1 initrd1.xz and k-5.10.0-32-amd64.squashfs with kernel modules.

All boot variant (64 and 32bit versions) should contain extramod=/live/firmware param.
i386 boot variants use from=/live32
And dk5 variant contain extramod=/live/firmware;/live/dk5 noload=k-6.1

syslinux.cfg:

Code: Select all

I make changes to linuxrc because extramod= kernel modules live/dk5/k-5.10.0-32-amd64.squashfs
should be loaded before (but not after) optional/nv340*.squashfs or nv390*.squashfs driver modules.

Changes in /usr/local/cr-initrd/initramfs/linuxrc script:

Original code:

Code: Select all

# Find modules:
find $PTH $PTH/base $PTH/modules -maxdepth 1 -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -ve "$NOLOAD" | sort >/tmp/modules
find $PTH/optional -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -e "$LOAD" | sort >>/tmp/modules

New version:

Code: Select all

# Find base modules:
find $PTH $PTH/base -maxdepth 1 -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -ve "$NOLOAD" | sort >/tmp/modules

if [ "$EXTRAMOD" ]; then
	for folder in $EXTRAMOD; do
		echo $i"searching for additional modules in $folder"
		locate -d $folder && { find /mnt/$DEV/$LPTH -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -ve "$NOLOAD" | sort >>/tmp/modules; } || fail $folder
	done
fi

And second part. I comment out block of if param base_only; then (not support it, sorry).

Code: Select all

if param base_only; then
grep live /tmp/modules | grep -v modules > /tmp/mod
#    grep base/0 /tmp/modules > /tmp/mod
    mv /tmp/mod /tmp/modules
else
    if [ "$EXTRAMOD" ]; then
	for folder in $EXTRAMOD; do
	    echo $i"searching for additional modules in $folder"
	    locate -d $folder && { find /mnt/$DEV/$LPTH -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -ve "$NOLOAD" | sort >>/tmp/modules; } || fail $folder
	done
    fi
fi

And replace it with code for $PTH/modules and $PTH/optional loading.

Code: Select all

# Find other modules:
find $PTH/modules -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -ve "$NOLOAD" | sort >>/tmp/modules
find $PTH/optional -name "*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null | egrep -e "$LOAD" | sort >>/tmp/modules

#if param base_only; then

Changes to linuxrc and mkinitrd scripts for support new param nvidia_detect
Description in my blog (in Russian language)

The purpose of param nvidia_detect is: load pre-created .squashfs modules with proper nvidia driver version
for video card discovered by lspci (or not load it if no one of corresponding video card ID's present).

Changes in /usr/local/cr-initrd/initramfs/linuxrc script:

New code (insert it after existing if param vga_detect; then block and before second part of new code # Find other modules:):

Code: Select all

if param nvidia_detect; then
	echo $i"detecting nvidia GPU"
	lspci >/tmp/lspci
	nvlist=`grep -i "030.: 10de:" /tmp/lspci | cut -d":" -f4`
	if param nonvidia; then
	echo $i"skipping nvidia GPU detection"
	elif [ -n "$nvlist" ]; then
	for nv in $nvlist
	do
		echo $i"$nv chip found, checking which nvidia driver supports it"
		if grep -sqi 10de$nv /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia.ids; then NV=nvidia; break
		elif grep -sqi 10de$nv /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-legacy-390xx.ids; then NV=nv390; break
		elif grep -sqi 10de$nv /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-legacy-340xx.ids; then NV=nv340; break
		else echo $i"$nv chip is not supported by nvidia driver"
		fi
	done
	if [ $NV ]; then
		echo $i"$NV driver will be activated"
		find $PTH/optional -name "$NV*.squashfs" 2>/dev/null >>/tmp/modules
		NOLOAD="$NOLOAD|mesa-vulkan-drivers"
	fi
	else echo $i"could not find any nVidia GPU on this PC"
	fi
fi

# Find other modules:

Changes in /usr/local/cr-initrd/mkinitrd script:

Insert code to copy /usr/share/nvidia/{nvidia.ids,nvidia-legacy-390xx.ids,nvidia-legacy-340xx.ids} to initrd.
nvidia-detect package added to mklive-bookworm64-xfce-gumanzoy.conf BASE_INSTALL=
I insert it after commented old code. And before new code to copy modules:

Code: Select all

#cp -a /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_*/lib/modules/* $INITRAMFS/lib/modules/

if [ -f /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia.ids ]; then
echo -n "copy nvidia.ids"
mkdir $INITRAMFS/usr/share/nvidia
cp /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia.ids $INITRAMFS/usr/share/nvidia/
cp /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-legacy-390xx.ids $INITRAMFS/usr/share/nvidia/
#cp /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-legacy-340xx.ids $INITRAMFS/usr/share/nvidia/
echo " - done"
fi

# copy file to initramfs tree, including

This line commented by default because current 6.10 and 6.1 kernels have partially broken support of (unsupported ) nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver
#cp /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-legacy-340xx.ids $INITRAMFS/usr/share/nvidia/
Auto detecting old GPUs and loading optional/nv340*.squashfs modules disabled.

If display connected directly to dGPU NVIDIA it is work ok. But with iGPU Intel + dGPU NVIDIA configuration have black screen.
But as i build optional/nv340.108-k6.10.12-amd64.squashfs - it can be loaded with kernel 6.10 manual by load=nv340
I recommend to use kernel 5.10 for this case.

To build initrd.xz for 5.10 kernel need to comment out
#cp /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia.ids $INITRAMFS/usr/share/nvidia/ and uncomment
cp /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia-legacy-340xx.ids $INITRAMFS/usr/share/nvidia/

When optional/nv340*.squashfs driver loaded - downgraded xserver will be used optional/nv340-xserver-1.20.11.squashfs
Module contains xserver-xorg-core xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-synaptics from Bullseye.
It is important to support optimus iGPU Intel + dGPU NVIDIA configurations.

Yes. rm -rf /tmp/*/etc/apt before create module. I do it by file-manager, and i don't described each thing, so it is not full complete howto, sorry.
But better to look at contents of my created modules to check if some file needs to keep or needs to be deleted.

None of my modules have /etc/apt/sources.list

And, it is important. I don't add sid main, add only sid non-free and sid non-free-firmware for creating firmware modules. All of this is temporary.
nvidia-legacy-340xx-driver and nvidia-legacy-390xx-driver present only in sid repo.

edit: i edit post, and add rm -rf etc/apt to makes it is pretty clear.
edit2: sid contrib don't need. Only need sid non-free.
But nvidia-settings-legacy debs should get rebuilded for bookworm. It is need to fix dependency problem.

Get updated nvidia.ids file from nvidia installer

nvidia-driver from debian slightly outdated.
I build module with fresh version from nvidia installer.
But it support some more adapters.
To allow linuxrc detect it automatically - need update
/usr/share/nvidia/nvidia.ids file.

I look at debian source of nvidia-graphics-drivers
rules file have code to do it:

Code: Select all

nv-readme.ids: unpack-stamp
	sed -r -n '/^Chapter [0-9]+\. GSP Firmware|^A1\. CURRENT NVIDIA GPUS|^A1\. NVIDIA GEFORCE GPUS/,/^Chapter|^Appendix|^Below/ s/^(.{41}|.{49}) ([0-9a-fA-F]{4})($$| .*)/10de\2/p' \
		NVIDIA-Linux/README.txt \
		| tr a-f A-F | sort -u > $@

Extract nvidia installer

Code: Select all

./NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.120-no-compat32.run -x

Code: Select all

cd NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-550.120-no-compat32
sed -r -n '/^Chapter [0-9]+\. GSP Firmware|^A1\. CURRENT NVIDIA GPUS|^A1\. NVIDIA GEFORCE GPUS/,/^Chapter|^Appendix|^Below/ s/^(.{41}|.{49}) ([0-9a-fA-F]{4})($$| .*)/10de\2/p' \
README.txt | tr a-f A-F | sort -u > nvidia.ids
cp nvidia.ids /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia.ids

Then can run /usr/local/cr-initrd/mkinitrd to create updated initrd.xz

I also copy updated /usr/share/nvidia/nvidia.ids to 05-customtools.squashfs module.

Hello @gumanzoy

I am just getting around to revisiting this distro. I noticed you announced v1105.

I have looked on your site here: https://github.com/doglinux/book-worm/releases

But, I do not see your latest version. Has it been retired and will be replaced in next month's issue?

I have 3 nvidia Intel PCs and wanted to test and report ISO file booting experiences to you.

I have looked on your site here: https://github.com/doglinux/book-worm/releases

Hi

It is not my site.

I prefer to make releases as liveusb tree not .iso file.

As i told before. Have 2 options to create .iso or boot from live folder.

Annother way for create iso from liveusb tree described in iso_doglinux/iso_doglinux_readme_en.txt
Provided iso_doglinux/boot/grub/grub.cfg

Code: Select all

mv live* ./iso_doglinux
grub-mkrescue --locales= -volid DogLinux -o doglinux.iso ./iso_doglinux

Only grub2 without isolinux.
Can boot with Ventoy in normal mode. But need to enable VTOY_LINUX_REMOUNT option.

***
And for Ventoy i have better way to installation described in install_en.txt
By custom grub2 menu ventoy/ventoy_grub.cfg

Copy folders live live32 and ventoy to drive.
When boot Ventoy menu appears - press F6 to show DebianDog menu.

Thanks for your feedback. fredx181 update iso on github now.
