Many thanks for testing!kilaueabart wrote:Banzai! Or so I thought at first. I downloaded the 3.19 you referenced, got rid of the old one in cf0 I hadn't used for a long time, copied from there to my usb card, and started once again. Hooray! No failing step "Detect disks" at step 21.
Less than two hours later, it seemed I had set up MATE, although I was a bit disturbed by an instruction to tell CFE to do some strange stuff, including "boot sata0.0:/boot/vmlinuz."
Instead I went with "boot -elf -noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-3.19" so I wouldn't have to plug the USB thing back in. Turns out the cf0:vmlinux-3.19 that I had copied to my USB card and based my MATE install on was not FAT formatted!
So I went back to the card after all. Lots of messages, but finally nothing more after a page that started with something about a panic attack.
So I tried cf0:vmlinux-4.2. Again lots of messages, but some in nice color. The last page had "[ OK ] Reached target Multi-User System.
[ OK ] start TLP System startup/shutdown. [ OK ] Reached target Graphical Interface. [ OK ] Started Stop ureadahead data collection 45555s after completed startup.
Starting Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes... [ OK ] Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes.
I'm not sure what to try next. Redo the whole thing? Format sdb2 this time?
Do you have a shell login?
