Running F35: Linux fedora 5.15.10-200.fc35.x86_64 #1 SMP Fri Dec 17 14:46:39 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Tired installing this, but I ended up just installing all the depends minus kernel-debug-devel. Instead I installed kernel-devel.

Then I ended up having to make this symlink
~# ln -s /usr/src/kernels/$(uname -r)/ /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build

I then followed the the first step of this very copr repo guide (here) regarding installing the firmware and adding it to dracut, but then followed the rest of the steps from the source repo.

If I run the first command to add “config for dracut” as suggested then I get the response : Permission Denied. I am running Fedora 38.

Can you please help by indicating how to run this command or another one that get around this problem? Thanks

All commands must be run as root.

No longer appears to work with 6.8.10-300.fc40.x86_64 when following the instructions.

Latest kernel updates (6.13.*) seem to break this?

Main repository is not updated yet. Temporarily switched to fork.

Had a problem but found the solution, now everything works again. Thank you so much for your work!
