Hi
Before I start I'ld like to say what a great job everyone involved in brining this distribution and Enlightenment and Ecomorph to life are doing, I can truly say this is a dream OS.
That said, I'm just wondering if AMD based machines are supported or is it just intel? I tried running the liveCD on 2 AMD based desktops and had issues booting.
On the first one
AMD Phenom 9850 quad-core
ATI Radeon HD3200
ABIT motherboard
4gig RAM
EliveCD boots up to the language selection screen but stops after this it seems to fail to load the Kernel and non of the boot options work, black screen, fail safe 1 and 2
On the 2nd desktop
AMD Athlon 64 x2 3600
ATI Radeon HD3670
ASUS M2N-SLI motherbaord
2gig RAM
The initial boot kernel is not loader and all that happens is a command line message comes up saying press the TAB key to show the full list of commands. This message is follower by
"grub>" and the computer waits for a command to be entered. Unfortunately, all commands except "boot" seem to end up with with "Error 12: invalid command"
the boot command returns a message "you need to load the kernel first"
Am I doing something wrong or is it just that Elive does not yet support the AMD architecture?
I actually tried ubuntu 9.04 livecd on the second machine and it returned an error message
"Firmware Bug powernow-k8 your BIOS does not provide ACPI _PSSobjects in a way that linux understands"
could this firmware issue ubuntu is pointing to be related to why Elive just doesn't boot on the computer?
Strange this though is that ubuntu 8.10 and SUSE 11.1 run fine on it.
Thanks
