Stock kernel parameters are saved in /boot/vmlinuz-linux-clear.cmdline. Although you may not need to apply all the parameters, you should copy most of these into your systemd-boot or GRUB configuration.

If you are using out-of-tree kernel modules with dkms you will need to add the module.sig_unenforce parameter to allow loading of unsigned kernel modules.

Please check the Clear Linux kernel releases on GitHub (not kernel.org) before flagging out of date here.

@dedguy21 what error are you getting? I just installed with no problem.

I have updated linux-clear-bin for the recent changes to Arch Linux's mkinitcpio. The kernel image is no longer owned by the linux-clear-bin package, instead it is copied/removed by mkinitcpio. You don't need to do anything.

Also, the package version as seen by pacman will now be formatted like "5.3.9.839-1" instead of "5.3.9-839", where the Clear Linux revision is using a dotted notation following the vanilla kernel version. This follows the example of other official Arch Linux kernels such as linux-zen and linux-hardened, and allows us to use proper Arch Linux package revisions.

Is there any potential for an -lts kernel?

I posted a vastly improved PKGBUILD based on yw662's version in the better-pkgbuild branch on my GitHub repository[0]. Fixes include:

  • Move PKGBUILD variables out of prepare() function
  • Prefix non-standard PKGBUILD variables with underscore
  • Add manifest and kernel pack to source files
  • Use SHA256 instead of MD5 for verification of source files
  • Let makepkg download source files instead of using curl directly in package()
  • Let makepkg unpack source files instead of using tar directly in package()
  • Use local variables in package() and build()
  • Add WIREGUARD-MODULE to "provides"
  • Add linux.preset file for generating initramfs
  • Add hooks to update and remove initramfs if package is updated or removed
  • Updated to 5.2.9-825

I still don't like the use of pkgver for the Clear Linux kernel version because it breaks the Arch pkgrel logic. For example, we cannot ship an update to 5.2.8-821 without incrementing 821. We can perhaps use the PKGBUILD 'epoch' for this though...

@yw662 How to enable modules like Wifi and sound?

This is cool, yw662. I didn't know Intel provided binaries of Clear Linux kernel. A few suggestions:

  • I think you should use sha256sums instead of md5sums
  • You should add the Manifest and packagefile to sha256sums to let makepkg download and verify them instead of calling curl in the package/build step
  • You should add WIREGUARD-MODULE to provides
