Is it expected that CorePlus 8.2.1 (frugal install) doesn't boot with  X GUI if I use the boot options 'base' 'norestore'?

I added the boot options to /mnt/vda1/tce/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf, and after a reboot it boots into cli only.

Code: [Select]
$ dmesg | grep command
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/tce/boot/vmlinuz quiet base norestore vga=789 waitusb=5:UUID=...


If I boot tcl (CD boot) with the 'base' and 'norestore' boot options I still have the GUI after a boot.

Also if I boot tcl64 (CD boot) with the 'base' and 'norestore' boot options I still have the GUI after a boot.

Hi rhermsen
Base  says not to load any extensions. If your GUI comes from an extension (Xvesa or Xorg) then you'll boot to the command line.

Hi Rich,

Xvesa is indeed located in /mnt/vda1/tce/optional.
I'm using a CorePLus installation as my build environment, and just found it odd to behave differently with these boot parameter added, compared to the other TCL VM's.

Thanks

The base bootcode affects writable tce directories, but not the read-only cde dir on cds.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.
