I dd-ed the image straight to the HDD. grub started and booted off from it. lots of messages of PCI devices, I guess some kind of scan. after a while the screen went white, and a bit later the logs of the kernel panic appeared at the top, with the message it could't find a device to boot from.
so, it seems that the kernel itself didn't see the hdd it just booted from - standard IDE PATA disk, 120GB. Used dd from a gparted live disc.
First, I resized the partition on the disk to the full, at the next try I left it, as-is.
Both times the same result; the BIOS boots into Serenity, white screen, then kernel panic, couldn't find a device to boot from.
Thing is, there are 2 DVD drives (IDE and SATA) and a floppy drive attached to the PC, dunno if they can cause any problem. And 1GB memory.
this was yesterday, and since then I haven't got tieme to fiddle with it, but will. :)
There's nothing like that is enabled AFAIK, I"m not even sure this board has UEFI (only Legacy BIOS). It's an Acer Veriton M421G brand PC, with a Phenom II X4 945 CPU.
Not even sure it's compatible with the OS, but this boot device issue was strange, tho. (had the same problem booting up a partition manager software from floppy that is based on Visopsys)
But will double check everything. Thanks for the tip!
I was just trying to boot it up on bare metal yesterday, on an AMD Phenom II machine but Kernel Panic'd on not finding a device to boot from, which was a bit puzzling. Unfortunately had no time to investigate, but I won't give up, I make it boot somehow on that PC.
true, but you aren't obligated to use any of that. the FOSSness of the OS itself doesn't change.
lots of apps aren't even FOSS on Android. FOSS ones usually have versions that aren't dependent on Google Services, or you can patch them not to use them, with various results, that's true.
because I really don't understand this argument here.
Android is still FOSS. you can grab the source code, modify it and use it, if you really want.
even so, since Xiaomi provides you tools and codes to unlock the phone and install any other compatible system on it.
oh, no more updates then for MIUI? the heavily modified version of Android that Xiaomi is making and providing services for it? and then, the whole FOSSness is breaking for you if they say no more updates for their version if you open the loader? who would have thought.
why would you do that, in the first place? I guess to install other roms. so you probably don't like MIUI anyway.
or you want to modify MIUI? you know that 90% of hacks just don't fucking work with MIUI's framework, right? that it's breaking and shit. and then, if that happens, who would you call? well, not the ghostbusters but go to MIUI support snd blame them for your shitty modifications.
tell me, please, how Android is not FOSS anymore, I really wanna know what keeps you up at nights.
I can't be sure were you sarcastic or nor, in text it's not easy to determine; but yeah. she was... way too cliché-y compared to... anyone else.
after TOS, bullshit deaths wasn't such an unexpected thing, but the way she died, especially as the head of security...
idk. also, she was my gf's favorite, so this also way a giveaway that she will die eventually...
by the way, saw lots of people saying early TNG is shit, but aside FROM THAT FUCKING RIKER MONTAGE SEASON ENDING EPISODE (wtf man?), it was fine IMO. sometimes a little bit rough on the edges, tho, that's true.
but that's also true that we didn't really had any illusions, we were so hyped on Star Trek after TOS and being drunk by the fact that there's a lot more Star Trek to watch helped us through on the lesser good episodes of TNG. (but the montage, man...)
this sandbox craze is slowly pushing things back to the point where we used cartridges and booted off from them straight to the program. who needs an OS at this point? it's bundled with the app anyway 😆
None. I mean, it's nice if we have 'National literature day' and 'National Earth's day' and such, but more minor holidays I just can't care less.
Where I live people have a "name day", accordingly to their last name first name. (each day has one or few names associated to them; sometimes one name has multiple days for god know why...).
Now, the existence of this is purely to have a reason for people to get drunk (and mad if you forget it), which isn't my piece of cake anyways and because of this, I really don't care about name days in general.
And also, my birthday and name day are next to each other so I never really had either a pure birthday or pure name day, usually they got combined. Even with christmas as well... (there's a few weeks between them).
edit: first name, not last. (it's also called difderently here)
Thanks for the tip, but I know, what I was talking about 😅
I use IDE HDD with this machine. The mobo has several SATA ports, but my HDD is IDE, it's not a mistake.
Tho, that setting is, indeed is IDE, so I might set it to AHCI for Serenity, but the drive is still hoiked into the IDE bus.
But if the problem is the fact, that I'm trying to use IDE and should try with a SATA drive, I'll look into it as soon as I can.
And thanks for co-piloting ;)
