Aargh! I reformatted CF CARD yesterday, but forgot what you said about the maximum size, as I was following instructions right off page 10 of Installing Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on the AmigaONE X1000:xeno74 wrote:Hi Bart,
I am sorry I have forgotten to tell you that you have to create partitions on the CF card if the CF card is bigger than 2GB.
I think OS4.1 only supports FAT16 partitions <= 2GB. I use a 256MB CF card in my X1000.
Naturally that erroneous instruction left me with a 640x480 screen in Amiga! I wonder why no one ever caught it?Note: the maximum size of a FAT16 partition is 4GB or 4095MB
OK, here I go again! GParted coming up.
Worse yet! Ubuntu 16.04 had been working just fine with the kernels in a less-than 4GB FAT16 partition, but AmigaOS4.1FE, which shouldn't have anything to do with the CF CARD, wouldn't display right. So I reformatted the CF CARD to what GParted said was just under 2GB, but I could not mount it from Desktop. Looked at it with menu item "Disks," and that said I was just over 2GB. So again I reformatted, smaller, and opened the partition and copied three kernels back in. (Oddly enough, I had opened it with no trouble when the whole card was formatted, nearly 4GB!)
Back to OS4, and with a little effort I was able to get it to open properly. But there were things I needed to do in Ubuntu, so I rebooted, with this result:

So what in the world could be wrong now? I NEED to use Scribus and some scribus documents on my Ubuntu 16.04 install tomorrow morning. I wonder whether I will be able to figure out how to do that from my 12.04 DVD?
