Well, what a coincidence . I've just bought my new system about a week ago. (I've been putting it off for the past few years) It's an ASUS PRIME Z270-P MB, i7 7700k, 32GB memory, including a M.2 250GB SSD (Sumsung). The reason I picked the ASUS PRIME Z270-P was that it seemed to be the only Z270 MB locally available that didn't have some untried audio or network HW devices. It's has been almost a week for me to get this up and running under B/LFS systemd. There were a few unexpected hurdles (e.g. not enabling USB 3.0 in the kernel) but I've managed to over come all of them. As Bruce mentioned, disable the secure boot which meant I had to remove the PK key. (Not sure how Windows will cope) At some stage I'll look at enabling this with my own private keys. (I've successfully managed to this under a VM.) At this stage I have no complaints. Everything is running as expect. Some extra options I had to set: CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NVME=y CONFIG_DRM_I915=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC=m CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m CONFIG_USB_XHCI_HCD=y CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MPX=y (required for gcc tests to pass) One more thing, I originally had all of the above set to y, but found that I had to set some to m to get rid of various errors/warnings in the boot log. I also installed the following firmware: /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_guc_ver9_14.bin /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_huc_ver02_00_1810.bin /lib/firmware/i915/kbl_dmc_ver1_01.bin /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168h-2.fw Regards, Wayne. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page Do not top post on this list.
