antiX-14R-alpha1-full-386 available - Page 3

Update: My CDRW's I bought and burning Antix did not get along. I decided to blame Memorex.
So I bit the bullet and used my Memorex CD -R disks instead make a coaster if need be.

To get this to boot on here. I decided to use Vesa, Icewm, Chicago with the F keys.
Time is right. No funny business with running default for video because legacy Nvidia
and AntiX newer kernels do not play nice with nouveau (at least on my boxes).

So off next to boot on the other older AMD box I have but it has a ATI chip. I will let it load the radeon.

Mounting with rox my /dev/sda as user which was what Vista was on before.
I put my installs now on /dev/sdb because it is 2TB.

So mount without using spacefm 1st seems OK.

Working also on the Emachine 3507 that has my AntiX 11 Base on.
So when this goes final. I guess I'll backup and reinstall 14.

Thanks for the feedback.

It seems that this 3.14 kernel might not be a good choice for some old(er) boxes.
Roky - do you have any idea on the latest kernel version that works on the failed to boot boxes?

No, not yet. I put them away and broke out the Acer Aspire One ZG5 . __{{emoticon}}__
I'll get back to you later on that because I have been lazy on my old gear and kept the 3.7.10 kernel
after trying out your newer ones you built and getting failed boots on those.

I never reported it because of laziness and being sick.

Any hows here is the Atom Netbook that runs MX-14

Give me a day to get back with you on the IBM's as I will have to run some tests again
and download some of your kernels again. I know 3.13.3 did not go so well. I will search for earlier
3.12, 3.11, 3.10, 3.9 I guess, or should I go liqourix via smxi instead? Let me know.

Trying out 14R on MSI laotop. Except for a couple of weird :error" messages with my usb connections at bootup (and nothing plugged in), it runs on this i5-450M.

I did notice that my memory report in 14R is about3.38 Gb out of 4. It's usually 3.78 Gb in antiX13.2 kernel 3.14.1 And showing no swap file when I do have one set up. But this is as far as I got here. I tried the LiveCD in my AMD machine, but that was a no go. Wouldn't load.

Since kernel 3.0, upstream has disabled audio output for all ATI cards in the Radeon driver by default.

Edit / etc/default/grub and change this line:

Thanks BitJam. I have seen similiar info. I have tried radeon.audio=1 on the liveUSB but their isn't any change to the audio over HDMI (ie, there isn't any).

I've seen some information that using the proprietary driver may work.

user confusion... or bug?

I've learned that presence of acpi=off in the boot line prevents correct detection of widescreen monitor (1920x1080 mode is unavailable)

During one testing run, I F7 saved a"custom" entry containing acpi=off

Later, each time I booted and chose"Root Persistence" (or ANYthing other than"Default")
apparently the acpi=off was still being applied.
Confused ~~ I didn't (still don't) expect the args on the custom line to affect the other boot menu entries.
Further confusion ~~ remove acpi=off within the editable bootline box... but presence of F4 value overrides whatever was typed?

The point:
I had a helluva time"getting rid of" the previously set acpi=off directive.

If a user creates/saves a custom bootline, are the args expressed on that line expected (documented?) to bleed over, to get applied to all boot menu entry lines... until/unless user applies a"reset" option?
