GalliumOS ISO is broken #608

Open Emily-x86-64 opened 3 years ago

Emily-x86-64 commented 3 years ago

So when i use galliumos with ventoy usb stick i get a grub error saying 

error: unkown filesystem.
alloc magic is broken at 0x5a140740: 5a065060
Aborted. Press any key to exit.

I thought this was an issue with ventoy so i took the iso and put it on a usb drive and i get the same error i checked the md5 hash of the iso file and its good

Forgive me if I misunderstand your problem. I assume you are trying to install GalliumOS using the ISO. I recently ran into a similar problem while installing using the 3.1 ISO. The work-around was to install GalliumOS without wifi enabled, then to do apt dist-upgrade after rebooting. The problem lay somewhere in grub's python scripts, but I didn't care to dig into them. I hope this helps you!

I can confirm that turning off wifi during installation works on my Toshiba Chromebook 2 (SWANKY/Bay Trail). Installation with the .iso works normally when using the packages found on the USB boot disk. Running updates post-install also worked correctly once wifi was enabled.

Same here, just installed on an HP FALCO Chromebook and had errors until I left the wifi disconnected. I didn't try wired.

TechnologyClassroom commented 3 years ago

This worked for me. This should be in the documentation at least on the download page, the release notes, and the wiki.

@TechnologyClassroom @tbj09 @jtonello I have the same error that @AkronOhioScott have. How did you turn off wifi? I've already erased ChromeOS.

Notice it's my second time installing GalliumOS (ChromeOs -> Gallium -> ChromeOS -> now going again to Gallium)

hardingprofessional commented 3 years ago

The simplest way to "turn off wifi" is to decline to provide a wifi password during setup. You should have an option to "proceed without internet" (or something similar).

Hmmm... I get

error: unkown filesystem. alloc magic is broken at 0x5a140740: 5a065060 Aborted. Press any key to exit.

Just after choosing boot option- GalliumOS menu or terminal. I don't have a chance to give wifi.

hardingprofessional commented 3 years ago

sorry, this sounds like an unrelated issue.

I don't want to guess at what problem you are having, but the problem described in this thread has to do with apt packages, and your installation hasn't progressed that far.

@cr0wt Your issue is almost certainly due to a bad write to USB or SD.

Make sure you're using one of the tools described in the wiki. Some ISO-writing tools break the structure of the ISO file. You can verify by checking the checksum of the image as written to USB (see troubleshooting info on the wiki).

Is this bug referring to when the install gets to grub after it detects HW and it crashes?

This is what I see o both 3.0 and 3.1. I have swapped HD fro a 1TB SSD on an old Acer C710. I have Galium on the original harddriver (250GB HDD). OD not remember if I used a hard connection or wifi to install on the HDD.

FYI: I tried Ubuntu 20.04 and it installed fine w/o any problems..

srd424 commented 2 years ago

I can confirm the same error trying to use Ventoy. Writing the ISO direct to a memory stick seems to work fine.

srd424 commented 2 years ago

Ah, it's something to do with grub detecting the correct root filesystem - if you drop to the grub command line with c. then type set root=(cd0), then Esc back to the menu and choose an option, it seems to work.

srd424 commented 2 years ago

OK, figured out a nice work-around. Unzip the attached into the Ventoy ISO partition .. customize as needed (e.g. for the ISO name.)

ventoy.zip

This worked for me. I tried the Zip file posted and changed the filename in the JSON file to match my ISO but it didn't work.

Looking into it was the cfg file suppused to be in a folder named ventoy in the ISO partition, and the JSON file in the root?

srd424 commented 2 years ago

AFAIK the json file is supposed to be in the ventoy subdir - that's the way it's setup here.. no ideas on why it's not working for you, I'm afraid :(

If you are using rufus, Make sure you are using DD mode instead of ISO mode.

hattmall1 commented 2 years ago

I am trying with ventoy but no success, it did work with Rufus in DD mode

Ventoy may not work with GalliumOS. Glad it works for you in Rufus though!
