Pixelbook EVE Fedora USB-C issue

I’ve had no issues at all with this install except the USB-C ports don’t work. This has a Kaby Lake processor but I tried the Tiger Lake fix below and it didn’t work. Any other ideas?

Fixing USB C on TigerLake and AlderLake

Distros that use dracut for initramfs, such as Fedora, have an issue which prevents the cros_ec_typec kernel driver from loading correctly. You can fix it with the following steps.

  1. Create a file called chromebook_typec.conf file in /etc/dracut.conf.d/
  2. Paste the following contents into the file:
omit_drivers+=" intel_pmc_mux "
  1. Rebuild your initramfs with sudo dracut --force.

Kabylake doesn’t have a PMC mux, so that’s not going to help.

There’s no reason the ports shouldn’t work OOTB

Any info I can export that might help identify the issue?

If anyone can take a look, thanks.
