Booting 32bit TC from 64bit efi boots to blank screen with underscore
jimmyjohn:
Okay. Well, now I am learning! Thanks.
Any ideas on the WiFi issue? I can't find any differences between the functioning 64bit and non-functioning 32bit installs. They both have wifi.tcz with all dependencies as well as firmware-iwlwifi.tcz, and yet the x64 version instantly finds wlan0 where 32bit says it can't find a wlan device.
The specific wlan chip I have is the intel 7265, I know there is a separate firmware for the 7260, but that one didn't work when I tried it, just the normal iwlwifi did.

You would probably find the CoreBook http://tinycorelinux.net/corebook.pdf valuable reading..
Look up "Mount Mode" section 1.8 in particular

First you have to sort out the installation.
When extensions and their dependencies can be reliably saved and found when needed then you can install required extensions and know that they will be available on every reboot.
When troubleshooting Wifi installations it's best to review the output of " dmesg " command. You can upload the output file here
--- Code: ---dmesg > ~/dmesg.txt
--- End code ---
This will create a file dmesg.txt in your home directory which you can upload here

jimmyjohn,
In most cases you must install Grub2 EFI from the 64bit version
An important tip when installing Grug2; boot to the corepure64 installation, mount the grub2 install partition and load the grub2-multi.tcz extension. Then install via this command
--- Code: ---sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --boot-directory=/mnt/sdc1/EFI/BOOT --efi-directory=/mnt/sdc1 --removable
--- End code ---
Obviously change the paths (sdx1) as appropriate to your system.

Here is the file you requested kind sir :-) In the meantime, I have attempted the adjustments you recommended in regards to proper installation, but have thus far been unsuccessful in booting beyond the command line and now I have it up and running properly with the tce directory. the issues with wifi not working and eMMC not showing remain. I will keep looking over the documentation and working on it while I wait for further assistance.
Thanks again!
