Troubleshooting:boot:initfshooks

Here are various hooks that might help with initramfs debugging. They are raw pastes and need to be adjusted before using them. Boot a known working ROM to extract the right /sys paths etc.

General usage

$ pmbootstrap install # now save the hook in the device chroot:
$ pmbootstrap chroot -r
$ apk add nano
$ export TERM=xterm
$ nano /etc/postmarketos-mkinitfs/hooks/my-debug-hook.sh
$ pmbootstrap initfs #to regenerate the initramfs
$ pmbootstrap flasher boot

Dump sysfs to SD card

You will probably need to adjust the path to the sd card, check the device name from a working OS on the phone - if the kernel is roughly the same, then the device path to the SD card should be the same as well. For Android devices, you could use TWRP for example.
