Hi All,

I created an installation initial ramdisk for the installation of ubuntu MATE 16.04 with the stable longterm kernel 4.1.17.
  1. Download and extract the kernel image, vmlinux-4.1.17
    Download: vmlinux-4.1.17-AmigaONE_X1000.tar.bz2
  2. Download the new installation initial ramdisk. I suggest to download it with a right click on the link and then with the menu point "Save target as" or something like this.
    Download: initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz
  3. Copy them to a USB pen drive or to the CF card
  4. Turn on the AmigaONE X1000 and press F to boot to enter CFE prompt. Insert the
    USB pen drive.
  5. You can boot the installer using the commands below:
    1. From a USB pen drive:

      Code: Select all

      CFE> ramdisk –z –addr=0x24000000 –fatfs usbdisk0:initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz
      From the CF card:

      Code: Select all

      CFE> ramdisk –z –addr=0x24000000 –fatfs cf0:initrd-4.1.17-1.ubuntu16.04-ppc64.gz
    2. Code: Select all

      CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/ramdisk"
    3. From a USB pen drive:

      Code: Select all

      CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.1
      From the CF card:

      Code: Select all

      CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1
  6. Select Language
  7. Select Your Locatation
  8. Detect Keyboard Layout. Select No and Pick from the list
  9. Configure Network
  10. Enter Hostname
  11. Select the Ubuntu Archive Mirror Country - [it is configured for the UK]
  12. Select the Ubuntu archive mirror "ports.ubuntu.com"
  13. Leave the HTTP Proxy parameter blank
  14. When prompted that no kernel modules were found select Yes to continue
    without loading them.
  15. The installer components will be retrieved from the Ubuntu mirror [this will take a
    long time]
  16. Enter your Full Name
  17. Enter your username for your account
  18. Enter your password and confirm
  19. Select No to Encrypt your home directory
  20. Confirm your time zone
  21. When prompted for module dm-mod leave the parameter blank and select
    continue
  22. Click Continue at the warning of "Software RAID not available"
  23. Click Continue at the warning of "Logical Volume Manager not available"
  24. You can now partition your disk
    You must exercise caution when modifying your partition tables!
  25. The base system will now be retrieved from the mirror site and installed
  26. Select “Install security updates automatically"
  27. At the software selection screen you will be asked to select which *buntu
    flavour(s) you would like to install. You can install as many as you like. To install
    ubuntu MATE arrow down to the “Ubuntu MATE desktop” option and press the
    space bar to mark the option. Now press return to continue.
  28. The additional packages required to install the full desktop will be retrieved and
    installed. - [this will take some time to complete depending on the speed of your
    internet connection ]
  29. At “Continue without boot loader” take note of your root partition.
  30. Select Yes to set confirm the system clock is set as UTC.
  31. Select Continue to finish the installation and reboot!
  32. Press F to boot to enter CFE prompt. Remove if necessary and re-insert the USB
    pen drive containing the vmlinux-4.1 kernel. Enter the following commands replacing
    the root partition (sdb9) with the ID of the partition where you installed ubuntu
    MATE.

    Code: Select all

    CFE> setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb9"
    From a USB pen drive:

    Code: Select all

    CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk0:vmlinux-4.1
    From the CF card:

    Code: Select all

    CFE> boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1
  33. Later, you could copy the kernel vmlinux-4.1 to the CF card and configure a CFE
    menu entry.

    Code: Select all

    CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_LABEL "ubuntu MATE 16.04 with kernel 4.1"

    Code: Select all

    CFE> setenv -p MENU_2_COMMAND 'set pmu -astate=A4 ; setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb9 quiet ro splash" ; boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.1' 
I successfully tested the new installation initial ramdisk for the installation of ubuntu MATE 16.04 with the stable longterm kernel 4.1.17 today.

PLEASE test the new installation initial ramdisk.

Cheers,

Christian

Hi Mufa,

Thanks a lot for testing. :-) Could you please configure Xorg manually?

Please execute the following command in your home directory:

Code: Select all

sudo X -configure
After that copy the xorg.conf to /etc/X11 and then restart your AmigaONE X1000.

I am looking forward to getting your reply.

Cheers,

Christian
