Hello Mageia Community,
im a near total Linux noob, worked a long time on windows, changed on SuSe a while back tested Ubuntu but came back to Windows (sad gaming addicts), but now its time to get a computer system that does what the user wants it to do.
So im here
I got an 4GB USB Stick and an 16GB USB 3.0 stick,
got the 4GB boot able with DSL and Boot as HDD
the 16GB stick had to be formated as ZIP, but now both are able to boot on my Laptop Sony VGN-FW
I installed Fedora on the 16GB and got it boot able + sound + internet .. nice feeling even when i get with YUM the errors with the PGP--Keys .. so no real update or installation of files is possible.
Sadly i dont get Mageia running,
The newest error is
"bio too big device loop0 (2>0)
squashfs error: squashfs_read_data failed to read 0x0
squashfs_super_block
Freeing unused kernel: unable to read 552k freed
"
on F3
i get
cant open /dev/tty2/
cant open /dev/tty3/
cant open /dev/tty4/
Also i got the problem with usbhid
after the 552k freed hes talking about
found alternate module ata_piix for drive ahci
have to insmode ata_piix
have to insmode usbhid
So sadly im working on Windows, trying the sticks sometimes with virtual box, there i get the same error, or sometimes root write problems, still testing some setups.
So when i compare the append of my working fedora
LABEL linux #fedora installition working
kernel vmlinuz0
append initrd=initrd0.img root=live:UUID=F675-9E30 rw quiet selinux=0 liveimg overlay=UUID=F675-9E30 splash rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 systemd.log_level=warning systemd.log_target=kmsg log_buf_len=2M loglevel=3
LABEL live #mageia not working
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=/boot/cdrom/initrd.gz vga=788 fastboot
LABEL linux 24 #SDL working no internet etc
KERNEL linux24
APPEND ramdisk_size=100000 init=/etc/init lang=us apm=power-off vga=791 initrd=minirt24.gz nomce noapic qemu quiet BOOT_IMAGE=knoppix frugal
havnt understand the full root= command yet, but still is there something that i can try with the mageia append comment ? or whats about the BOOT_IMAGE
found http://wiki.mandrivauser.de/doku.php?id ... lediystick
but havnt worked at the /etc/init.d/ yet, dunno what to do...
Where and how may i be able to log everything?
Thanks in advance for this new and very interesting looking project.
To have your Mageia system on a stick rdy to boot on nearly each computer would be a wonderful think to have.
Im a little stressed out sorry for the formating, maybe i was to happy to start with linux over again, that i missed how experimental this installing is
sadly i didnt got Mageia working on my pc yet, so im here
