I think, it could work if I dd it to a large partition but in the superblock on the img itself, there is an entry with a bigger size than the disk image is so it can’t boot from the disk image directly.

HI
Am I wrong or can I only select a whole disk in the installer and not a partition to install?
I want to install on sdc2 but can only select sdc.

Yes, it seems, that you can only select a whole disk.

Hi christian
Thanks for reply.
Then I'll have to install manually, otherwise I'll lose 8 partitions with different linux dist.

This is a good idea. Please try to copy with dd the file fienix_6.0.1-noboot-r1.img to a partition with at least 20 GB.

After that check the file system with "fsck -f -y /dev/<partition>".

Then expand the file system with resize2fs to the size of the partition with "resize2fs /dev/<partition>".

Hi
I have manually installed Fienix6.0.1.
I used an image printer to extract the contents of the img file to a usb disk.
Then I used Debian 64 to format my old Fienix partition (fienix6).
I inserted the Fienix udbdisk and opened a terminal.
cd /media/musa/fienix (usbdisk)
sudo rsync --stats --progress --numeric-ids -axAhHSP . /media/musa/Fienix6 (empty partition)
reboot and boot Fienix , but booted into a readonly system.
rebooted again and opened debian 64 .
Opened /etc/fstab on the Fienix6 partition. Of course wrong uid. New uid and save the change.
Reboot and boot into fienix6. All ok now.
Installed all the programs I need and created a new user and changed the language to Danish.
Thanks to Casey for a great job

I tried installation from live usb.
At first without success - it hangs during booting rootfs. Today I unpack image to other USB stick and it works. Thanks @caseycullen!
Boot commands are these:

Code: Select all

setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdf2 rootdelay=10"
boot -elf -noints -fatfs usbdisk1:vmlinux-6.1
sdf2 and usbdisk1: should be modified according your config and rootdelay not needed.
P.S. what is purpose of zImage-6.1? Tried to load it like ramdisk and boot from it, but it not works.

The zImage is a compressed kernel image with a smaller size than the default vmlinux image.

It loads faster from the internal CF card.

Code: Select all

boot -elf -noints -fatfs -z cf0:zImage-6.1
