[Report] Can't even boot HoloISO to install it from a USB drive #33

Open SoftwareGuy opened 6 months ago

Your Issue:

When attempting to launch HoloISO to install it, I get GRUB errors from the "Arch Linux UEFI boot menu" that say along the lines of:

(snip)
Error: Invalid magic number.
Error: You need to load the kernel first.

Press any key to continue...
(snip)

Other Linux distros boot fine on this machine (it's a AMD Ryzen mini PC from AliExpress). Written to USB drive in both Rufus ISO Image Mode and DD Image Mode, that did jack squat to change the outcome.

Your device's full specs

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7480HS with AMD Radeon 780M Graphics, 8C/16T
GPU: AMD Radeon 780M
RAM: 16GB DDR5, 4800Mhz

Installer used to install?

`holoiso_beta_snapshot20240325.1158.39-InstallerBuild-20240401131732-x86_64`

OS version (/etc/holoiso-release):

N/A

(Only for SteamOS Session loading issues) Have you tried launching gamescope-session from terminal? If yes, provide a log.

N/A

Did it work before?

No.

what type of usb drive is it

SoftwareGuy commented 5 months ago

USB3. A USB2 one had no effect either.

GuestSneezeOSDev commented 5 months ago

do you know what is archiso and do you know how to use it?

SoftwareGuy commented 5 months ago

I've heard of it and haven't actually used it myself. Are you implying I should build the ISO myself?

GuestSneezeOSDev commented 5 months ago

i recommend adding Intel drivers to the packages.x86_64 and build the iso

btw do you have secure boot disabled

GuestSneezeOSDev commented 1 month ago

@SoftwareGuy Most likely has Secure boot disabled

SoftwareGuy commented 1 month ago

I don't see how Secure Boot would affect this outcome, unless you're saying that the kernel only works with devices that have secure boot enabled?

I disable Secure Boot on my devices just for personal reasons. I find it more of a hindrance than helpful.

Hey @SoftwareGuy, Would you mind trying to rebuild the ISO on your end? Here’s the process:

git clone https://github.com/HoloISO/installer-image-beta
sudo mkarchiso -v -w work -o out/ installer-image-beta/
cd out/

Let me know how it goes

Alright, I'll cook something up using my server, I guess. Watch this space...

Failed getting out the gate:

cat: /tmp/currentcandidate: No such file or directory

...and then it just aborts.

I got this issue a while back all you need to do is edit the profiledef.sh
