All jokes aside, I think this might really help me with a side project I’ve been working on. Ive been trying to get full disk encryption working on a NanoPi R6S running NixOS. The issue that im having is that im not sure exactly what modules I need in the initrd. When I boot, there is no output on the display after systemd-boot shows.
The manufacturer puts out a version of Ubuntu thats works flawlessly so I know its possible. But I’ll pass on the snaps and id rather not use uboot. System is working with edk2 and nixos.
Long story short, will this software allow me to figure out what is running in the manufacturer’s kernel and port it over?

But yeah, I bet it would work! Just make sure you run modprobe-db with the manufacturer’s kernel long enough to run all the software you’ll actually use, so it can record the modules you need.
Of course, make sure you read up on it with that ArchWiki article and take a look at the source code to be sure (it’s basically a simple shell script), but from what I understand it should do what you need.
I’ll ask! How do you know? Lol

Well if it was for a tech job im sure you could’ve shown off some troubleshooting skills haha
And the ArchWiki link is perfect. Ill read up on that and ensure I’m using it correctly. Thank you very much for the pointer kind stranger! :)
True, true haha
Oh good! Happy I could help. :)
