Framework 16

[EvanFoss]

Hi (again),

I have been trying to install gentoo on my Framework 16 laptop. I think I have found an issue with the wiki entry for it.
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Framework_Laptop_16

The entry is marked as incomplete so I am bouncing between it, the suggested entry for the 13" variant and of course the AMD64 variation of the gentoo installation handbook.

I think I have everything working except for 2 issues (keyboard/usb and sound). All the firmware loads correctly and the ALSA devices appear for sound, video, wifi, and microcode. The ALSA devices for sound appear so I think I just need to set some defaults. I can work that problem on my own but I want to mention it in case it's somehow connected. The real issue is the keyboard which I think is connected to the USB issues.

When I boot off the minimal installer iso the keyboard and all the USB ports appear. Here is an lsusb of that:

Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

When I boot of the kernel I manually configured I don't see 2 of the USB ports and the built in keyboard is missing:

Bus 008 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub

I suspect there is a builtin USB hub that connects those 2 USB C ports and the keyboard to the rest of the machine.

I have tried booting off the installer and removing modules to see if I could find the one I need in my config. I have tried re-re-rechecking my config against the listing in the wiki. It's unclear to me what I am missing. I don't see anything in the wiki for the 13" config that is related so I assume that model has a very different architecture (i mean it's also intel vs amd so...) I would really appreciate any pointers someone could provide on this.

PS: To anyone else setting one of these up who gets a "super early kernel panic" like this

Try turning AMDGPU from built-in to a module.

As an added data point: I tried using the USB keyboard and a thumbdrive I know work with the machine via the working USB-A port on a USB hub (usb 2.0) in the USB port that works in my configured kernel. Now maybe this is because it's a USB2.0 device in a much more modern situation (unlikely) or more likely I bungled what ever settings are needed to make hubs work in general.

I got the sound working. It was just a configuration issue.

I am still stuck on this keyboard/usb thing.
