Anyone got Fienix to run?

I downloaded it from here:
https://fienixppc.blogspot.com/p/cfe.html?m=1
1) Instead of an USB stick I used an USB HDD
2) I took all the steps (switching around the keyboard to another port after entering CFE)
It starts to load all the stuff with many green OKs on the left side, but ends up with a black screen when it probably should load in the Fienix GUI.
Anyone have a fix for that behaviour?
Do I maybe need the keyboard back in port 1 to make fienix boot?
...
Thank you, looking for an alternative to use the x1000 hardware...

It leads to a thread in the forum "Platform: AmigaOne X1000 - Linux Only”.
IIRC, the "... Linux only" forums are only shown if you haven't deselected them. In the infancy of those forums, a lot of people complained that they weren't interested in all the Linux material, so some form of preference was deviced to let you deselect them.
But I can't find anything in my settings that deals with that.
Does anyone remember how it can be manipulated?
Best regards,
Niels

afaik you need to contact the moderator of this site. you cannot dis-/enable it on your own.

quick quote from there until you get access:
Please try using Fienix-GPU-Bandage:
- Boot up your system, when the black screen appears press CTRL + ALT + F1 to switch to console
- Log in as su
- Enter "apt-get install fienix-gpu-bandage"
- Enter "fienix-gpu-bandage"
- Press 1 for Yes
- Reboot
but it did not work for me. i used my old card and then installed/executed the bandage tool. after that also the newer card booted.

@MichaelMerkel
Thanks for the quote.
Will try, but I dont think I'll go through adding an older card just to be able to boot.
Isn't there possibility to use that bandage by default and ask the user on startup if he/she wants to use it or not?

Is there anyone capable of de-locking me from the linux forums?

Since i'm still locked out of the linux forums and no one seems to care, i'll post here again
I got it to run a little further, but after some short time of massive text scrolling i get
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
over and over again, until after some time i get
Gave up waiting for root device.
...
ALERT! LABEL=FIENIX-DISK does not exist!
Dropping to a shell
Any hints on how to fix that?
I have, of course, tried to drop the whole "LABEL=" part from the CFE line, but that didn't help.
FIENIX-DISK does not exist!
I'm out of ideas.

I dont'know, if I remember it exactly, it is some time ago when I istalled Fienix. Please, take it like advice and not exact manual.
I do not boot from image on usb.
First, I boot to other linux (Debian i my case), prepare HDD and create ext4 partition ( for example/dev/sdb6 ) for fienix.
Then I mount fienix image ( maybe something like
# mount -o loop fienix.img /mnt/image ) and fienix partition
# mount /dev/sdb6 /mnt/sdx
and then
# rsync -vrlAogt /mnt/image /mnt/sdx ( sorry, don't remember exact params)
then I use last stable kernel from xeno74 ( unfortunatelly is on AmigaOne X1000 - Linux Only ) and copy it to my usb stick (or cfcard)
and booting via:
setenv bootargs "root=/dev/sdb6 rootdelay=5"
boot -elf -noints -fs=ext2 usbdisk0:vmlinux
