32 bit is broke

I cannot install 32bit on a 64bit system.

Hi wuzamarine
You can submit it here. If it's deemed to be a bug this thread will be moved to the Bugs forum. State what you did, what the
results were, and why you think it's a bug.

Tiny goes into a kernel panic when trying to install 32bit Tiny on to a 64bit system.
The URL posted has a complete log dump.
The way it crashes is exactly like what you get when you try to stuff a 64bit OS on to a 32bit system, but its the other way around.

Note:  I also tried to install the 32 bit image on to a VM server called Limbo, on my rooted phone. It crashed epically there, so I moved on to VirtualBox to try and get better logging and testing abilities. Got the same issue with VirtualBox as Limbo.

I get the same behavior with all 32bit versions of Tiny, include Core and CorePlus.

I just used a 64-bit win10 host VirtualBox-5.2.0r118431 to boot the CorePlus-8.2.iso and then used tc-install-GUI to install Core-8.2 to the vm hard drive.

Everything worked as expected.

Yes, likely a virtualbox bug. Another similar bug was solved by changing the template type to "linux 3.0" from "linux 2.6" or similar.

you should ask the limbo developers why it doesn't work. limbo seems to be based on qemu.
vbox is known to introduce random breakages every now and then. I personally stopped using it because of that. vmware player or kvm/qemu seems more stable.

My dev VM is on VMware ESXi and is dual boot 32 and 64 bit. Both work fine.

Its broken with both Limbo and VirtualBox.
I have been working with mainly VirtualBox because debugging on a phone is not easy.
Its just odd that they 'both broke'.

I am using Linux and not Windows.

If you're using linux, wouldn't it be better to use qemu?

It's odd on a certain humanitarian level that so much software is broken, but everybody knows that.

Probably. I'm just lazy and never worked with qemu.
Sigh, I suppose its time to try.
