Microsoft Surface
Surfaces require a special kernel to work properly under Ultramarine.
These are currently provided by the Surface Linux team, start by adding their repository
sudo dnf config-manager \
--add-repo=https://pkg.surfacelinux.com/fedora/linux-surface.repo
Then, install the kernel and itβs dependencies
sudo dnf install --allowerasing kernel-surface iptsd libwacom-surface
If you want to use secure boot, you need to install surface-secureboot
, enable 3rd party keys in the EFI settings, and enroll the key in cert-manager. This does not work well on some devices, so we recommend disabling secure boot.
Some Surface models may not boot with a stock copy of Ultramarine Linux. If this is the case for your device, you have to install the kernel before leaving the live environment.
-
Ensure your internal storage is mounted, Anaconda should leave it mounted by default.
-
Check the root partition, it should be mounted as
/mnt/sysroot
-
Chroot into the installed system
sudo chroot /mnt/sysroot
-
Follow the above instructions
-
Run
dracut -f
to make sure the new kernel is installed as the initramfs. -
Exit the chroot and reboot!
