Hi All,
A fellow laptop user has been looking into efi=novamap requirement. I
was sharing with him that I thought only firmware could solve this
problem and he has questioned me on that assertion and pointed me to
this commit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git/commit/?id=4e46…
It appears from my reading that efi=novamap is required because: It is
fiddly to make the kernel function SetVirtualAddressMap() work
correctly on AArch64. Without documentation for the laptops I care
about, it does not appear to be a valuable use of time to make
SetVirtualAddressMap() work. For now, efi=novamap is a good-enough
work-around.
Is that more a more accurate analysis on my part?
best regards,
Richard

Hi all,
I am playing with the Fedora Rawhide aarch64 kernel on my lenovo c630. Today this is a 5.6 kernel. I guess it is missing some config options stuff because the laptop keyboard isn't available. It also seems like systemd userspace is pretty unhappy too, but that is seconday to the keyboard for me currently.
I haven't spent time looking though the know working configs that are already available, but appealing to the knowledge on this list: are there some kernel config options folks can suggest to me to improve the situation?
Best regards
Richard
