For the first time, I have booted off the LiveCD
and I notice several problems:
(1) The GUI screen starts up with the "teardrop", completes
filling it up, and then it drops into a shell
(2) It says something about creating a symlink (/dev/root)
and so I issued:
(a) rm -fr root
(b) ln -s /dev/root /root
(c) exit
And the result is the keyboard has Caps-Lock & Scroll-Lock
LEDs flashing. Nothing happens, so I pressed the hardware
This is a sign that the kernel panic-ed.... There was talk about
flashing the kernel panic reason as Morse Code, but I don't think they
ever implemented that
reset button and the system reboots. After rebooting again,
filling the "teardrop" again, this times it falls into a shell
again.
(3) It says something of a "non-standard" filesystem or volume
and says that it fails to create a ramdiskfs.
That could be a problem.... IIRC, the liveCD tries to read the
partition table and decide if there is a usable swap partition there, as
well as your current system to mount.
I have a 1TB HD, 5GB of swap, in an extended logical partition
and at the end of the drive. I also have 500GB of free-space, in
and extended partition, somewhere "in the middle".
Perhaps I ought to move swap into it's own primary partition
nearer to the "beginning" of the drive?
Looks to me that I am unable to get F11's LiveCD to work
on my system.
I will download the DVD version and see if this works.
What are you trying to do? Upgrade or Install?
Install.
I recently failed getting the F11 DVD to work on either of 2 systems (1
upgrade [x86_64], 1 install [i586]). I *was* able to upgrade/install
F10 on both systems and then use preupgrade to upgrade to F11.
The problem is, that I cannot upgrade F9/10 as multiple attempts to do
so fails.
