I think it's a problem with my DVD sata drive and Nemo board.
I copied the "powerpc64" directory from live DVD to the CompactFlash and booted successfully from there.
So it seems that Linux and OS4.1 can read from DVD but initrd and vmlinux can not be loaded easily.
Hi AlfredOne,

Good to know. Many thanks for testing!

Have a lot of fun with the live DVD. Would you like to install it?

Cheers,
Christian
Installed with the alternative script on HD.
Booted from HD.
Well done!

Hi AlfredOne,

Fantastic! Well done! :-) Which graphics card is installed in your AmigaOne X1000? Radeon R9-280X 3GB or Radeon HIS4670 or even both?

Thanks,
Christian

Hi Srtest,

Sorry for the late answer. Maybe you typed the incorrect partition device or you typed it in a wrong format in the installer.

The correct format is: /dev/<your partition>

For example: /dev/sdb2

That is what I did. It started okay and then started to have difficulties copying or maybe setting-up files when the installation arrived to the Libreoffice files. After I rebooted I saw it had managed to copy quite a lot before I stopped it, yet installing an os for hours and hours occupying the X1k is unacceptable for me.

Both graphics card installed:
1st PCI-e slot: Radeon HIS4670
2nd PCI-e slot: Radeon R9-280X
Boot starts with HIS4670, then switches to R9-280X during Linux start-up.

Hi AlfredOne,

Thank you for testing! :-) It's really great that you have a SI and a NI Radeon installed. Maybe you could modify the xorg.conf to get hardware 3D acceleration with
the 4670. If it works then you have hardware 3D acceleration on OS4.1 and on Linux. ;-) What do you think?
Could you please post your xorg.conf?

Thanks,
Christian

Please note: We use the fbdev video driver so it works with SI graphics cards too. If you have a NI graphics card and you want enable hardware 3D acceleration, please replace the fbdev video driver with the radeon driver in the xorg.conf.

AlfredOne,

You need a xorg.conf for two graphics cards. Please create one with:
  1. Code: Select all

    Ctrl + Alt + F1
  2. Code: Select all

    sudo service lightdm stop
  3. Code: Select all

    sudo Xorg -configure
Please post this xorg.conf.

Thanks,
Christian
