Wesley Moore<p>Earlier in the week I did the fairly small amount of work to bring up Chimera Linux on a recently acquired Radxa ROCK 4C+ single board computer. It almost worked on the first try. The image booted, but there was no HDMI output. I didn't know it was working until this morning, when I hooked up to the serial console and was able to get it on the network.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Rock4CPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Rock4CPlus</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ARM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ARM</span></a></p>
Wesley Moore<p>👨‍💻 New post! I wrote up my experience daily driving Chimera Linux during a recent two-week trip to Central Queensland.

Wesley Moore<p>I've been talking about it for months, but I finally followed Jami Kettunen's instructions and got Chimera Linux installed in my Yoga Slim 7x ARM laptop.</p><p>Windows was crashing every few days (while unattended) with the error "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error is caused because the system stopped responding and the hardware watchdog triggered a system reset." even after a full restore.</p><p>I'm hoping Linux is more stable.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/SnapdragonX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SnapdragonX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ARM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ARM</span></a></p>
Wesley Moore<p>New post: Trying to Get Chimera Linux Running on Pentium Class Hardware</p><p>I'm going to hit pause on this whole i586 Chimera saga, but have written it up so the effort is not entirely in vain. <a href="https://www.wezm.net/v2/posts/2025/chimera-i586/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">wezm.net/v2/posts/2025/chimera</span><span class="invisible">-i586/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/Pentium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pentium</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ALIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ALIX</span></a></p>
Wesley Moore<p>I tried this on real hardware (ALIX) last night. It was a battle requiring multiple CF cards and CF to USB adaptors before I got a working combination. Then with some further futzing with grub I was able to get it to show grub and start booting, but nothing happens after that. I let it go overnight thinking it might just be really slow (it's a 500Mhz CPU), but no luck. I think the next thing I'll do is change how things are compressed—zstd might too much for this machine. <a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a></p>
Wesley Moore<p>Full rebuild with proper i586 support is complete!</p><p>Here is an install running in a VM allocated 256Mb RAM and the CPU set to 'pentium'.

Wesley Moore<p>And it boots!</p><p>I'll probably need to do a full rebuild at some point as it seems that clang defaults to targeting pentium4 (newer than what I want) for all i?86 toolchains, which I didn't notice until late in the process. <a href="https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/61347" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/llvm/llvm-project/i</span><span class="invisible">ssues/61347</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.decentralised.social/tags/ChimeraLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChimeraLinux</span></a></p>
