Tiny Core Base > Release Candidate Testing

Core v4.2rc2

<< < (3/10) > >>

bmarkus:
4.1 MultiCore: even no boot menu

4.2rc2 TinyCore: same as CorePlus, freezing after boot menu selected

roberts:
If you can boot tinycore 4.1 but not multicore 4.1 then that indicates that your BIOS on desktop is buggy and cannot handle isohybrid. At least this test shows it is not directly related to 4.2 and could have been found when the first multicore iso was issued.

Yes, probably it is a buggy BIOS. To be honest I'm using such ancient media like CD very randomly and till now everything was working. Unfortunately it is valid for USB as well, not only CD/DVD. Motherboard is cca. 3 years old, updated to latest BIOS. While it is a BIOS issue, you know, customer view is simple:

4.1 works, 4.2 doesn'. Therefore it is a 4.2 bug  >:(

tce-update needs a patch.

A simpler line:
[ -z "$TCE" ] && TCE=`cd -P /etc/sysconfig/tcedir ; pwd`

roberts:
Good find. Thanks! How about:

--- Code: ---[ -z "$TCEDIR"] && TCE=`readlink /etc/sysconfig/tcedir`

--- End code ---
