Hi,
I'm updating my hardware to the most recent Intel-based platform (ASUS
Z270 MB, i7 7700K, memory).
I want to play around with LFS systemd development. Are there any issues
with this new hardware and LFS? How about UEFI Bios?

Hi Wayne,
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.
I'm getting the ASUS TUF Z270 Mark I. Nearly the same features as the
Prime, but a little fancier. Also 32GB Corsair Vengeance 3333MHz memory
(2 16GB sticks; $230 via Amazon Prime).
At first I'll use no SSD, but two existing hard disks (one for Fedora,
the other for LFS) to simplify my life.
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.
I had a similar experience last time I tried this 2 1/2 years ago. But I
had so much trouble with booting on a UEFI system that I lost interest
until now.
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.)
So you're trying to dual boot with Windows?
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 suppose I'll be getting into these details soon enough.
I won't have a graphics card but will use the MB graphics.
Why this line?
> CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MPX=y (required for gcc tests to pass)
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
What is that?
Alan
