okay nevermind i did have one extra kernel.
fixed it with
``sudo dnf remove kernel-16k-core-6.19.13-400.asahi.fc43.aarch64 kernel-16k-6.19.13-400.asahi.fc43.aarch64``

@meluzzy there is something wrong. you shouldn’t have kernel-uki-dtbloader to begin with.

What large (starting at 10MB) files do you have in boot?

Be careful not to remove any kernel-16k packages

@janne
this is /boot

@meluzzy there should be only variants ending in “+16K”

Can you deinstall “kernel-core” (you might need to specify the versions), that removes dependent kernel packages as well which is intended. Make sure no packages starting with “kernel-16k” will be removed.

@janne I dont really have any kernel-core only kernel-16k-core.
can't i just get rid of the fc43 ones?

UPDATE: deleted the fc43 ones and restarted, everything seems fine

@meluzzy @janne yeah you can delete old kernels just fine generally the boot partition doesn't have a lot of interdependent data

@meluzzy @janne does asahi work on x86 or is it only arm still

@hipsterelectron @janne I mean the idea is for it to remain aarch64 since its only purpose is to make the linux kernel run on new macbooks

@meluzzy @janne oh neat! thanks that makes sense

@meluzzy @janne was rly impressed at how much support was in the kernel for very complex peripherals like the touch bar when i went through every kconfig option a few months ago. i had had more difficulty than usual w linux on my 2020 x86 intel mac but it's sooooo nice how old hardware just becomes better over time in open source

@meluzzy @janne btw i found conflicting info regarding the arm memory model and the gcc cpu feature selection docs page is the best resource i have found for checking feature support for stuff like neon instructions—is there a canonical reference text everyone uses that describes how to check for cpu functionality on arm & lists all the variants of neon/simd? i'm working on experimental composable string search and particularly interested in instruction latencies but just a canonical list of features outside of the current gcc flags would be super useful

@meluzzy @janne SVE sounds cool but also sounds incompatible with fixed-size vectors and i wanna know if that's the future or if i can ignore it

@meluzzy idk if asahi uses mkinitcpio but often System.map and the backup kernel image can take up space in the boot sector and you should be able to modify whatever builds your initramfs to avoid including those
