Liinux Installation on X1000 kills hisself !

[zappa2009]

Update.

I installed Debian Wheezy. And its boots fine. No More SelfKills.
I try mintppc11 on a other HD too.

[zappa2009]

mintppc11 works also fine. i use the wheezyy-dvd1 for the installation.

Any Tips for mount a amiga ffs on a cf read-write ? I can read for it but not write on.

Finaly i solved my Problem. I replace the one 2GB-Module with two 1GB Module and Linmux boots everxtime fine up. Fryday i get more DDR2-Modules and test it all 4x2GB in my X1000 with Linux and of course AOS4.1.6 (only boot cause OS4.1.6 cant see more as 2GB)

Update:

I bekame my 2GB-Modules.

With 2x2GB everything is fine . Boot into Linux and OS4.1.6

Do you use a CF inside in the X1000 to boot the Kernel ? or boot it with the FFS-Boot-Partition on the HDD.

Is this now possible? If so could you tell me how to do it!?

[zappa2009]

Yep i can boot the Linux-Kernel AND amigaboot.of from the CF.

Format a CF as Fat32 and copy vmlinux-3.5.7 (or otherone) and amigaboot.of to it Use a external USB_CF-reader on a PC Amiga or Mac.
Insert the CF back to the X1000-CF slot.
Poweron and press f for the CFE-Prompt
Type dir -fs=fat cf0:
If you see your Files of the CF you can settup CFE to boot your AmigaOS4.1.6 AND Linux from it. Check out the Guides come with your X1000

I wrote for a Friend a CF setup-guide feel free for use it by yourself

CF-Card on X1000 Setup!

Format a CF-Card on Windoof or Linux to Fat32
I use DiskUtility on LinuxMint13

HDD-Type: MasterBootRecord
Bootflags: Bootable
PartitionType: W95 FAT32 (0x0b)
Filesystem: Fat16 or Fat32
Label: cf (any name ou prefer)

The copy the amigaboot.of to the CF-Card
Perhabs the Linux-Kernel from your prefered Linux-Distribution

Next Insert the Card to Your X1000 in the CF-Slot
After Powerd on , Press F to CFE-Promt.

Type dir -fs=fat cf0:
If you see your files all is ok
Type: setenv -p MENU_0_COMMAND “boot -fs=fat cf0:amigaboot.of“
I change the Label From AmigaOS to AmigaOS-CF
Todo this
Type: setenv -p MENU_0_LABEL “AmigaOS-CF“

Now You can boot without the BDH0: (FFS2) Partition.

( For Linuxboot checkt the Guide comming with your X1000 )

Have Fun.

Wow thanks for the detailed explanation. But, I'm sorry and have realised I missed a word in my previous post. I meant to ask how to boot off an FFS partition! That is, booting off an Amiga partition from the HD. That what it looked like you were asking before.

[zappa2009]

Ty but boot from FFS is standart in OS4.1.6 in the X1000

Only amigaboot.of must be in the FFS-Partition of the HDD connected to sata0.
Because sata2 must be a CDrom.
CFE can boot from any filesystem it knows. FFS FAT32 EXT2 but not SFS1/2!

If you want boot Linux copy the Kernels to the FFS-Partition where amigaboot.of is.

And then Type boot -elf -noints -fs=amigafs ide0.1:vmlinux-3.5.7 Rename ide0.1: if your HDD is not connectet to sata0.

This will not work. vmlinux fails to start if booted from a FFS partition. It just hangs. Seems to be a bug in CFE. Best to stick to booting from fatfs.
