Hi Michael,

I successfully downloaded the MATE PowerPC Remix 2017 images from Google Drive and Xenosoft.de with Firefox on Windows 10 today. After that I successfully unpacked them with 7-Zip and then I scanned them with Avast and ClamAV. Downloading and unpacking works without any problems on Windows 10. Avast and ClamAV didn't find any viruses in the MATE PowerPC Remix images.

PLEASE scan your Windows system with a virus scanner and check the other systems. It seems you have some viruses on your Windows system.

Thanks,
Christian

no problem here. no virus available.
i can download + unpack (7-zip). no problem.
just "rufus" (suggested by Skateman) does not recognize the image. btw. skateman also tested this and also can also not use rufus with this image - no idea why. maybe too big for rufus?

nevertheless, i can not boot from the stick at all :-( no chance.
is there sort of a serial log available? or smth else which can give a hint? i mean i don't see any errors on screen.
i think i will simply give it up. i also did so some years back. it simply is too frustrating not being able to do a simple boot from ramdisk :?
i remember that i even tried to install linux to hard disk at that time and i did not succeed. i think i could boot from dvd but not from hdd at all. but i don't remember for sure.

regards...

:evil:
Maybe a possibility:

I've been running MATE_PowerPC_Remix_2017_0.7 that was installed from a DVD, and
thought I'd try MATE_PowerPC_Remix_2017_0.8 from a new flash drive i got.

downloaded the file and
did a dd of the download file to the USB drive using the running system.

on the running system

was able to mount the USB drive with no problem. Contents
looked good.

Restart the X1000 and into CFE

setenv bootargs "root=LABEL=AMIGAONE rootdelay=5"
ramdisk -z -addr=0x24000000 -fatfs cf0:initrd.img-4.14.4
boot -elf- noints -fatfs cf0:vmlinux-4.14

booting failed, with much similarity to the screens you posted.

tried altering lots of things, initrd versions, vmlinux versions,
locations, rootdelay values etc. Nada.

About to just report that I thought MATE_PowerPC_Remix_2017_0.8
was somehow faulty, but looked at the USB drive with GParted
and saw it warned that only the first 13GB of the partition had
been copied into and that I should use the CHECK option to
fix and allocate the rest of the drive.

I did that tonight and the next attempt booted fine!

Strange, but
Maybe that would work on your drive?

This one shows COMRESET error messages, It looks like your getting caught out by a rare bug on X1000 machines that happens when you use 2Gb Ram, a Radeon card with 256bit memory bus (like your R9 270X) and an IOMMU enabled Kernel.

Fix is quite easy, use a low end graphics card (e.g the one supplied as standard with First Contact systems) or better, add some more memory. (Another 2Gb DIMM will do it)

Christan will not have recognised this as he has always had 8Gb ram and therefore is immune to this problem.
what also is interesting is that my dvd drive is names atapi0.0 and not 0.1
it *is* connected to SATA0 and my ssd is connected to SATA2. just like described in the x1000 setup guide.
needless to say, that this is running now for quite some years and i have no problems on the os4 side :shock:

AFAIK First contact systems were supplied with HDD on port 0, and DVD on port 2, not that this is causing your problem.

Get yourself some more memory, and see if this fixes it

hmm... sounds reasonable.
i spotted thoese problems some years ago. so - what has not changed is the memory. in the meantime i have a new gfxcard (actually 2) and a new drive. but the mem is the same.

hmm... i plugged the drives like described in the setup guide oncy i got my beta board. it was equipped with the memory (only one dimm) but the other parts i plugged togethery myself.

i will do so! let's see.
more to be read here when i've got the memory. :)

thanks for the hint with the memory!

ok... now my results :-)

i ordered a 4gb kit a week ago which arrived on thursday. unfortunately one of the two dimms is faulty. i need to return them.
but i found another 4gb kit here at a local dealer and bought it.
and guess what, i actually can boot linux now from the usb pendrive! no problem at all. it just starts now.
so - many thanks daz, this really was the problem. having only one dimm installed prevents linux to boot properly. wow. sad that there was no "proper" error printed to the console.
now i can play a bit and see if i install it for real or not.

onw question: my graphics card is currently not well supported with that mate live version? at least it was very slow.

thanks and regards...

You could test it with your Radeon HD6870 if you like. With this card you can use hardware 3D acceleration.
