Stuck on booting Kernel, then restarts. AMD processor and using zork image.

INFO: MBR LEGACY BIOS SYSTEM, 64B SYSTEM

Ok, @bruh-person what's your CPU? Just "an AMD processor" doesn't suffice. Also, did you use the mbr patch?

[Priyanshu6517]

Same issue I have an amd a6 4400m cpu

[bruh-person]

I use legacy BIOS and I will get the processor now, and I did use the MBR patch.

[bruh-person]

Also, you are very late.

[tejasraman]

@Priyanshu6517 An A6-4400M won’t work with brunch (it’s based on the Piledriver architecture from the Trinity series. The only AMD that will work are a very small subset of newer A-series CPUs and all Ryzen CPUs)

[tejasraman]

@bruh-person what do you mean “late”? And what’s your CPU?

[bruh-person]

@bruh-person what do you mean “late”? And what’s your CPU?

bruh i posted 3 weeks ago and you come now

[bruh-person]

I'm getting it.

[bruh-person]

apparently it is a AMD Turion 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-60 (2) @ 800MHz

[bruh-person]

what i got from neofetch in partedmagic :\

[tejasraman]

@bruh-person thats incompatible, maybe try chromeos flex? Also zork is meant for Ryzen and only ryzen

[bruh-person]

the pc i'm using right now is Ryzen

[bruh-person]

so i should just use a random image or something until it works :+1: @bruh-person

[bruh-person]

sure if you want it to be

[tejasraman]

Ok what computer are you trying to install ChromeOS on? I’m really confused right now…

[bruh-person]

laptop

[bruh-person]

I'm using my desktop pc to github issues

[tejasraman]

Oh, the laptop has the turion? If that's the case, you can't install Brunch on the laptop (the CPU is from 2007). Could you try ChromeOS Flex instead?

Brunch would work with zork on the desktop though.

[bruh-person]

ChromeOS Flex doesn't support Google Play Store apps: https://support.google.com/chromeosflex/answer/11542901?hl=en#:~:text=Supported%20VMs%20and%20apps,Android%20apps%20or%20Google%20Play.

[bruh-person]

and i'm installing it on a usb

[tejasraman]

That's true, but Brunch doesn't support your CPU and Flex will...

Also, the certified models for flex don't matter - every PC I've tested works with it, even really old stuff (2008, 2011)

[bruh-person]

also i could use a vm on the desktop, since vmware just replicates host cpu and stuff :\ but why wouldn't brunch support VMs?

[tejasraman]

Because vmware virtualizes your gpu. Supporting VMware would require special drivers that would be hard to port into Brunch. (aka VMware tools)

[bruh-person]

QEMU?

[tejasraman]

Not unless you want unaccelerated... and IME it doesn't work at all in qemu

[tejasraman]

(see this image from my Insider Preview VM:)

[bruh-person]

(see this image:)

ya ok

[tejasraman]

So do you understand that you cannot install brunch on your laptop?

(Try fydeos as well, it has Android support but isn’t ChromeOS per se)

[bruh-person]

y

[tejasraman]

thanks! If your issue is resolved, please close the issue :)

[bruh-person]

ok
