xamiga installer?
« on: November 08, 2007, 09:51:21 PM »
I downloaded xamiga and booted off the CD. I get an Amiga-looking screen that says LinuxOS. I saw a nice text-based installed on the xamiga page but this CD does not boot into the installer. Any ideas?

Do you get the "CLI" prompt?

No I cannot even load the installer!
You get booted to a small Linux install that LOOKS like the Amiga CLI :)

Yes that's normal. This happened to me but I got a message with some instructions, and then I typed in loadwb and it started the gui installer.

In the GUI installer there is a hardware browser which shows what has been detected. Does your HDD controller show up there?

Try the gui installer. It will scan for disks.

I go plenty of errors.

unable to identify cd rom format
cp: write error: no space left on device
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad super block on /dev/loop0

missing code page or other error
in some cases useful info is found in syslog -try dmesg itail or so
mount: mount point /xa/dev does not exist
mount:
mount:
mount:
mount:
mount: " some directories "
switch_root: bad newroot
kernal panic -not syncing: attempted to kill init!

edit**** On a third machine I get a tty error, /bin/sh
edit**** I reran it with -nofb and it is having trouble finding the media also.

2 cd's does this and the third has a CRC error.
The machines I used to make them had prevented buffer under runs.  I do not know if the last item is useful.
Thanks. :-D

I was able to complete the installation but the Grub menu never comes up to boot me into x-amiga. What do you see when you first boot into x-amiga for the first time?

Also, I am prompted to do 3 things after the main install:
1) Copy ROMs
2) Copy an AmigaOS installation
3) Copy ADFs

Regarding #2, am I supposed to have a complete AOS install on an ext3 partition or something? How does this work?
