Tiny Core 16.0 Alpha 1 Testing

<< < (4/16) > >>

GNUser:
At this point I've tested 16.0alpha1 on three different x86_64 machines serving very different roles:

1. personal laptop
2. family media player + classic video game console emulator
3. wireless router running multiple servers (http, xmpp, dlna, ftp)

Everything just works.

Hi Leee. Indeed. My experience has been consistent: Upgrading to alpha version of TCL is less trouble than (in years past) upgrading to stable version of other distros.

Hi Knoppix1337

You're right, I tried it too.
It seems that option is not configured:

--- Code: ---# CONFIG_BOOT_PRINTK_DELAY is not set
--- End code ---
Found here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86/release/src/kernel/config-6.12.11-tinycore

Without error messages, there really isn't anything to go on.
That leaves the shotgun approach. Start disabling stuff and
see if we hit anything.

Try adding these boot codes:

--- Code: ---acpi=off noapic nolapic
--- End code ---

You can also try:

--- Code: ---nomodule
--- End code ---
This should stop any kernel modules from loading in
case one of them is causing the problem.

If you want to experiment with other boot codes, there are about a thousand here:

What cpu features does it show in dmesg , when it boots successfully with the tcl 15 kernel?

Or you can compare successful dmesg to the frozen boot messages, which exact line is missing when it fereezes.

In 16.x / x86_64, abiword.tcz needs to have wv.tcz added to its .dep file.  Without it abiword fails to start:


--- Code: ---tc@dolly:~$ abiword
abiword: error while loading shared libraries: libwv-1.2.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

--- End code ---
abiword starts up ok after   tce-load -i wv

Juanito:
..but: http://repo.tinycorelinux.net/16.x/x86_64/tcz/abiword.tcz.dep

contains:
--- Code: ---wv.tcz
enchant2.tcz
goffice.tcz
redland.tcz
libical3.tcz
glibc_gconv.tcz
adwaita-icon-theme.tcz
--- End code ---
