A few thoughts:

a) Check if the SSD is using a logical sector size of 512 bytes, 4096 are not supported. Use parted -l to test.

b) The resize operation will create a /flash/fs-resize.log

c) There are resize issues fixed in LE12 nightlys.

With Generic-legacy see this post.

Ask the author to fix his addon.

Still had no time for a detailed investigation.

Start  ./tools/adjust_kernel_config menuconfig, navigate to marvell network drivers and enable all possible, build and update image.

To identify driver post the update of lspci -k

Upmix is fixed in nightlys

Where is /storage/.config/firmware/ ?

On the target device for individual configuration.

How can i use ./tools/adjust_kernel_config menuconfig for settings?

From the LE git root directory. It is changing linux.x86_64.conf

What I must doing ?

a) Check dmesg/journalctl if some firmware is missing. If yes put a copy below /storage/.config/firmware/.

b) There are more Marvell network card drivers to be enabled. Better use ./tools/adjust_kernel_config menuconfig for configuration.

c) In worst case vendor drivers are required.

wich modules need enabled

The five being disabled in the code. Use CONFIG_<option>=y:

CONFIG_SCSI_ISCSI_ATTRS
CONFIG_ISCSI_TCP
CONFIG_ISCSI_BOOT_SYSFS
CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT_FIND
CONFIG_ISCSI_IBFT

iSCSI options in kernel config got lost over time. Therefore this code has no effect any more.

After manually enabling the options in projects/Generic/linux/linux.x86_64.conf iSCSI shoild work again.

You can

a) Move the HD to another PC, install LE and swap back.

b) Boot debian to live system or rescue shell, insert LE install stick, run blkid or lsblk to identify drives, copy the stick to HD with dd if=/dev/sdX of=/dev/sdY bs=64K and choose run on first boot.

c) Install minimal debian/ubuntu ... (maybe sever without applications) on small partition and add LE.

Is there a way for me to add it manually?

libx265 is only available for X86_64.

You have to match the Subsystem ID 103c:8710 unique for the HP Comet Lake machines.

You can force the quirk with:

echo 'options snd_hda_codec_hdmi enable_all_pins=1' >/storage/.config/modprobe.d/snd_hdmi_all_pins.conf

I'm rarely using Chrome but at a Sony too. Since some recent Chrome updates there are strange audio issues too.

E.g. the public video snippets of the Sky web side are usually played without sound. But the radio site https://hr1.de (no idea if geo blocked) is always working, even while the Sky one does not. After some retries it magically starts working.

I managed to do that and checked secure boot was disabled but it still wouldn't boot from the USB I flashed Libreelec on, it just kept booting to Windows. Not sure if I did anything wrong. I'll take a look at that thread though.

Wild guessing: check if there are any USB (boot) options, disabling "fast boot" may be useful too.

I'm already having a kodi memory monitoring script logging the kodi RSS size in KiBytes:

#!/bin/sh
L=/storage/kodi_rss.log
while sleep 60
do
  P=$(pidof kodi.bin)
  test -z "$P" && continue
  echo $(date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S,")$((4*$(cut -f 2 -d ' ' </proc/$P/statm))) >>$L
done

Create a script file and start it from autostart.sh in the background.

It is for Generic with 4Ki pages. If using other values, likely 16Ki for RPI4 today, change the '4'.

Never did an AMGLX build, but on such errors it is always wise to remove the build directory and start a clean build.

(In this case the recent glib update cause such errors).

For the windows tablets you have to enter the firmware/BIOS settings and disable Secure Boot (if possible). Then booting the install stick may be working.

Hint: In this thread a Surface Go 2 is used, but there is no information how installed.
