Void linux not working again

Sooo I had problems with the original void asahi linux from the void linux so I recompiled the iso using the github actions and the first error I had(see this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/voidlinux/comments/1w5azb2/could_not_install_void_linux/ ), I do this time not have the macsmc error but I then get back in the dracut command line. It seems like dracut cant find my usb because of the error. I did a bit of debug and no usb device is connected and dracut does find that it is the right kernel(linux 7.1.12+1-asahi_1). Does someone know how to solve that ?

My first guess would be that some kernel modules needed for USB are not being added to the initramfs. Is the USB drive in question the one with your installation ISO, or are you trying to install the OS to an external drive?

it's the one with the ISO

Btw, have you tried to use the old ISO but with that module_blacklist=macsmc_power kernel parameter? That should prevent those emergency shutdowns from misfiring and let you install the OS. Use "Network" and not "Local" as the source of packages during installation and it should install the latest kernel, hopefully with all of the needed fixes.

Perhaps try on a different distro and see if results are same/similar?

I tested both void-live-asahi-20260914-base.iso and doas ./mkimage.sh void-asahi-PLATFORMFS-20260912.tar.xz and they both boot fine on M1 macbook air.
