Hi Zak,

sorry to hear about the bad start. Are you using the latest ISO that was released in the last couple of days?

Ian

Hi Zak,

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply :)

I downloaded the ISO this morning so i believe i am on the latest version.

When checking the loadfw.log i see the below

bus error

unable to detect auxiliary disk

unable to detect auxiliary disk

unable to detect auxiliary disk

unable to detect auxiliary disk

I was trying to install to a 120gb msata chip and am currently trying a 500gb HDD just encase.

Hi,

that was the next question. How is the installation proceeding with the new disk?

Ian

Hi Ian,

Thanks for the followup

with the new hard disk it still does not load

gets to the image selection screen and crashes out again, exactly the same as before.

the loadfw.log now only shows 

unable to detect auxilary disk

unable to detect auxilary disk

Thank you

Zak

Hi Zak,

that is bad news. Sounds like the disk controller chipset is not supported? What mode do you have the disk set to in the BIOS?

Ian

Hi Ian,

The unit is currently set to AHCI Mode.

The Disk controller seems to be an Intel(R) Atom(TM)/ Celeron(R)/ Pentium(R) processor AHCI-0F23 with the below hardware id

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0F23&SUBSYS_0F238086&REV_0E

If there is a linux driver available would it be possible to import this into the kernel used for the XG?

Ian,

Thank you for all your help,

After stripping down the system and rebuilding from scratch to be sure it seems i had a duff stick of ram in one of the slots throwing the whole thing off.

Thank you again.

Zak
