What is the size of that Beta partition?

Casey, thanks a lot for those detailed instructions. I'm sorry now to have put you to the trouble, but because of them I am now using Fienix5 for the first time.

I didn't/don't really understand why I was using a USB disk, and I'm not positive I did. I used what we used to call a thumb drive. At any rate, by the time my attempt to dd the .img to it (I forgot the "bs=1M" but it probably didn't matter) ended with an "out of room" message, I realized that my previous attempt to install it on my hard drive had failed because I cp'ed it, instead of dd'ing it. This time I used dd (with bs=1M) and then was able to get here using the UBoot script I had previously prepared.

This is as far as I will go with it today, but I look forward to seeing what I can do with it tomorrow. Thanks again!

USB disk, flash drive, thumb drive; they're all the same thing.
Good luck!

6.1 GB

Should we stick to kernel 5.15.1, or is it OK to test new kernels?

Yes, please do test the new kernels

Kernel 5.16 RC8 up and running with Fienix 5 on my AmigaOne X5000

Nice work!!

Strange issue here!

When I boot the test partition from USB everything works as it should. I just downloaded the last version of Fienix from the official website. Wrote it to a USB stick. Updated the kernel 5.16 on the fat partition and replaced the system files by dd'ing the Fienix 5 test to the second ext4 partition (checking it at the end).

However when I install it to HD it I get errors and a 2 min. plus loading time.

I have installed the test version on SATA 1 (/dev/sdb2). Loading the kernel from a fat32 partition (/dev/sdb1). DD'ing to sdb2.

The env variables for linuxboot are:

setenv linuxboot 'setenv bootargs root=/dev/sda2 ; load sata 1:1 1000000 uImage-5.16 ; load sata 1:1 2000000 cyrus-p5020.dtb ; bootm 1000000 - 2000000'

Here is a link to a video of the boot. https://www.dropbox.com/s/x5jufq3dmzpjf ... t.MOV?dl=0

Any suggestions to what the problem might be?

BTW: First I tried to dd the image to a HD connected to my 3114 as I have done previously but that was extremely slow. Took hours to complete. When it is connected to my SATA port it takes a couple of minutes.

It’s a hardware issue. Please check the HDD/SSD and the sata cables.

I have had the same issues using a Micron 960GB SSD. I cloned all my working Linux version to this disk, and all linux versions had the same issues.
Changing the Sata cable did not work. It was the SSD. I changed the SSD and all issues got resolved.
