The 386 version is non-PAE. I am running it installed on a T23.JMarlatt wrote:Do I need a non-PAE distro? As a Pentium III-M, it is definitely non-PAE.
You are using the 386 version, rather than x64 I presume?

see the attachment for the screen shot. Used all the suggested boot options; same result; linuxfs not found

Thanks for the pictures JMarlatt. This is a strange problem since it works for chrispop99 on a T23, and you've tried two different forms of live media.
The sr0 device is your cd drive. We find it and search it but don't find the linuxfs file. Either the file is missing or we are having trouble mounting the filesystem. Someone else may have suggested that you created a LiveDVD but your machine can only read cdroms. That would explain the problem with the LiveCD/DVD. Make sure it is a cd and not a dvd (if your machine only reads cdroms). If you can mount it on another system then make sure the file /antiX/linuxfs file exists.
Does your machine have an internal hard drive? Does it have one partition? I'm wondering whether sda is your hard drive or the LiveUSB. You can tell for sure if you boot via the LiveCD with the LiveUSB removed. If sda disappears from the output then it is the LiveUSB and either you have no internal drive or we can't find the internal drive.
If sda is your internal drive and there is a free gig on the sda1 partition then you can try to do a frugal boot. Boot into the existing system on sda1 and copy the entire /antiX directory from the LiveCD or the LiveUSB to the root directory on sda1 (perhaps called C: if you are running Windows). Then try booting the LiveCD or the LiveUSB again. Make sure you use"from=all" (because normally we ignore internal drives). We should be able to find the linuxfs file on your internal drive.
There are two more easy hail-mary things we can try. Try the boot parameters"nousb2" and"acpi=off".
If you are comfortable with the Linux command line then you can use"bp=3" which will give you a Linux command line before the system looks for the linuxfs file. You could try mounting /dev/sr0 and see if it mounts and if the /antiX/linuxfs file exits on it. Likewise you could try mounting /dev/sda1 and look for /antiX/linuxfs. If you are interested in this route then it would probably be best if we continue via PM or email.

Richard,
Interesting. see the attachment. I will send a second attachment separately.
bp=3 resulted in more info.
The T23 has Windows XP on it. do I need to partition the C: drive and copy the ISO file to the new partition?

All of those error messages are the result of the"nousb2" cheat. Apparently your machine does not have usb2 so we get that error message when we try to disable it.
If the frugal install doesn't work then you could set"bp=3" and then run"dmesg | less" and look for obvious error messages but, unfortunately, most of the output will be very cryptic and hard to understand. It may be difficult to tell what is an error.
No. There is no need to add a partition. Start Windows XP and mount either the LiveCD or the LiveUSB. Make sure the file \antiX\linuxfs exists on the Live media. If this file is missing, it would explain your error. If the file exists then copy the entire \antiX directory to C:. The linuxfs file will look something like: C:\antiX\linuxfs. That's it. Make sure you use"from=all" when you boot.JMarlatt wrote:The T23 has Windows XP on it. do I need to partition the C: drive and copy the ISO file to the new partition?

At the risk of stating the obvious, the MD5 for the download has been checked I suppose?

chris,
I have both AntiX-16a and AntiX-16b2. Both on USB3 USB sticks. Boot boot properly on an HP Stream 13. However, that is a good thought. I will nevertheless do an MD5 check.

Richard, I tried to copy for the bootable CD. I got the following error message: Cannot copy linuxfs: Data error (cyclic redundancy check).
Am trying to copy from the USB. It is slower because it is a USB1 port. Will let you know how that copy goes.
I have some USB2 sticks. Should I try making a USB2 AntiXLive?

chris, ran MD5 check on both the 16-b1 and 16-b2.1 downloads. Both match SourceForge MD5 numbers.
Richard, as I think I said once before, I have the same problem of not finding /antiX/linuxfs when I boot on my HP Stream if I do not interrupt the boot process to set the boot device. In that case the BIOS setting for the boot device prevails and the system boots from the antiXLive USB, but it brings up a different welcome screen -- the screen does not present function Fx choices, but rather use of 'e' to edit the boot options. From this screen the boot process does not find linuxfs.
If I interrupt the boot process and set the USB as the boot device, the welcome screen with the function Fx options appears and the boot proceeds properly.
Is there an answer in there somewhere?

How do I access the BIOS on the HP Stream 13
Go to PC settings
select Update and Recovery
select Recovery
select Restart Now
Find Boot from EFI USB Device
Go to Boot from EFI USB Device
when it prompts you that {The Selected Boot Device Failed. ... ...},
press <Enter> then <F10>
Set USB as first boot device.
Still will not boot to AntiX-16b2.

Shay,
If you keep tapping"esc" when you power on, the system will give you a list of options.
Press F9 for boot options. The system will list available devices. Select your USB. Press enter. System will boot from your USB.
