| dustee | hi im having trouble creating diskoImages for aarch64-linux, the process always hangs at EFI stub: Exiting boot services... | 09:04:19 |
| dustee | i tried a bunch of different configurations and for aarch64 it always stops at that step | 09:05:41 |
| dustee | but for x86_64-linux, it goes through and creates the image successfully | 09:06:17 |
| dustee | Redacted or Malformed Event | 09:08:47 |
| dustee | * then since i couldnt create the diskoImage, i built and booted sd-image-aarch64-installer then tried nixos-anywhere to build the proper system but even that has problems and cant create the partitions

I would say it's a bit about expectation management, we won't implement new features for these old stuff and we added the warning to get most people to migrate. But realistically there are enough systems with it still out there that we won't remove it any time soon. Aah, okay that works for me. Realistically i could just partition it manually, ive partitioned it once and probably never will again :) i appreciate the clarification | 09:17:13 |
| dustee | * then since i couldnt create the diskoImage, i built and booted sd-image-aarch64-installer then tried nixos-anywhere to build the proper system but even that has problems and cant create the partitions (im guessing i cant install to the same sdcard that im booting from, so i gotta make diskoImages work)
