I have another one coming in Wednesday or later and I will see if 13.2 picks it up and
compare the 2 I guess. With the sd card inserted in the sd card slot in this unit.

So no sdb or sdc . sda is the 60 gig drive I have carved up for AntiX testing (15gig), /swap (4.2 gig or so), and a large 40 gig ext4 /data partition for storage.
I was not trying to be neat when carving up this drive.
Hence the large/uneven swap.

I hope the card reader aint broken but that could be a possibility since these units are used.

So not really a question so much as me documenting what is going on with these netbooks as I try and figure out what the hardware is acting like.

Notes for later on the fix.
No init3 boot on grub 2 menu that I could see on Advanced Grub Menu option. Running smxi
while in fluxbox terminal running as root terminal. Well. Killing the desktop to start smxi just throws
me back to slim login screen. Soooooo.

Code: Select all

sudo service slim stop
OK. I am out of X finally. I can now login and"su" to root in terminal and

Code: Select all

smxi
tell it to add Sid repos so I can grab the latest Liqourix Kernel for 32 bit.
Let that finish.
I pick the upgrade option next instead of the"dist-upgrade" option because I have
already dist-upgraded this unit the day before.
I pick install the latest Liqourix Kernel next.

Lots of errors but no sweat. It installs just fine.
I pick reboot when done.
I have to go into Advanced Menu in Grub screen because Anti's Kernel is on the top row and Liqourix is on the bottom row. Even though Liqourix is the higher kernel version with"-5" vs Anti's"-1".

Problem solved with a kernel change. No to figure out how to move the Liqourix kernel
entry to the top of grub menu so it boots as default.

Ram and everything else is not too bad with this kernel. Just posting info as always
in case this does not get fixed later in final.

I guess the period (".") takes precedence over the dash ("-")
in the upgrade script male. Just a scooter tramps guess.

I can always install a Debian or another Liqourix as a backup if need be.
Now for a reboot.
