Mageia forum

Hi all,
i customized Mageia 2 in a virtual machine so after used tested command

Code: Select all

$ VBoxManage internalcommands converttoraw file.vhd file.raw

to obtain image to write on destination hd.
After i used Mageia live on destination machine to start os in ram and then used

Code: Select all

# dd if=file.raw of=/dev/sda bs=4096

to write raw file on hd of destination machine.

After reboot i have a problem, during boot Mageia stops after:

Code: Select all

Started Legacy USB proc file system ... [  OK  ]

With Mageia 1 i used same steps and i didn't have problems. Could be damage file problem ?

Solved
problem was video driver, on destination machine there is an NVidia board so :
1. installed in virtual machine NVidia driver
2. modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and set to use driver nvidia
3. recreated raw file using

Code: Select all

VBoxManage clonehd file.vhd file.raw --format RAW

4. rewrite raw image on destination hd using same dd command

A question:
i saw that fedora use dynamic xorg configuration, have we a similar method ?
es: using many xorg.conf file, at first good video driver that work fine, process stopped and use this.
