Next I probably need to setup the RAID0 /tmp, and I typically use ext2 for /tmp. I can then put a btrfs partition on the root, and set up the directories needed to mount other partitions on.

SYSTEMRESCUECD FOR RYZEN INSTALL

It is probably going to be easier just to install everything into a single partition, which is what that scratch partition is for.

SYSTEMRESCUECD FOR RYZEN HOW TO

So it looks good to install, if I can remember how to do these things. User doesn't have permission to run gdisk (which is in /sbin), so I 'su root' to get a root shell, and gdisk can find the 5 devices just fine. It starts up an xterm of some kind as user. I thought I was just going to have the text console on F1. I then switched over to fsmithred's DVD and it too booted just fine, to a GUI. I then used the system rescue CD to mkswap -c on the two swap spaces. The third partition is everything remaining, except for about 48 GiB, which works out to about 1.8TiB. For 2 of the spinning rust disks, position 2 is swap (16G) and for the other 2 it is to be a RAID-0 (striped) /tmp. The NVMe got a /boot (2), root (3), usr (4), var (5), usr/local (6), var/log (7), opt (8) and a scratch (9) partition. I put GPT partitions on all 5 devices, with 201MB EFI System partitions in position 1. I downloaded the latest System Rescue CD (because it has GPT fdisk tools from Rod Smith), and I booted that just fine. It is this second one that I partitioned. One is not a symlink to the other, the first is a character device and the second (nvme0n1) is a block device, just like a disk. There is a /dev/nvme and then there is a /dev/nvme0n1. So, I bailed without writing any GPT partitions. But the Debian installer doesn't really look like it is set up to do GPT disks 'nicely'. I went part way through the Debian install, thinking I could maybe get the NVME 'SSD' and the 4 spinning rust disks partitioned. There's no gpg signature, but here's the sha256sum of the iso. It will find the grub-pc packages in the root of the filesystem and do the right thing. If you are installing to legacy bios, I recommend using the cli installer (run 'refractainstaller' in a root terminal). Run 'startx' to get into an openbox session. You should not need to log into a live session, but in case you do, I forgot to include the instructions for that.

If you prefer, you can use this live iso to do a debootstrap install of devuan. If you use the cli installer, you'll have to type in the device name when you select a partition for installation. The installers should see your nvme disks and handle it correctly. Regular ascii firmware packages can be found in /firmware. There are also a few wireless firmware packages installed from backports. The backports repo is commented out in sources.list. Feel free to ask for help, but there should be no whining or complaining. If something doesn't work or goes wrong, don't be surprised.

I'm sure others will see this and want it, so here are some important notes.įirst of all, this is not an official release (of devuan or refracta.) See that it's in the EXPERIMENTAL folder. I'd hate for anyone to be forced to use debian when they don't want to. There's not a lot installed, but it should be enough to get you going. Here's an ascii live iso with 4.12 backports kernel. (I actually have something a lot newer than that for building isos.)

Model name : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+ Hopefully one of those two ISO's will work. I never tried getting to another text console to see if the logs or dmesg is showing anything. First set of menu's to set the language, everything locks up. You get to the splash screen, and the keyboard works to let you select expert install. I could select the optical device (as SATA) and boot both the Devuan install DVD and the Devuan netinst CD. It powered up, and I could see all the fancy things in the BIOS.

I just finished assembling a new machine:īoot device is a partition on a NVMe M.2 500GB 'SSD'Ĥ Seagate 2TB rust drives (to be set up as a btrfs RAID-10 for /home)Ĭurrently using a BluRay optical, will be changed to an ordinary DVD after install (plus a couple of weeks)

SYSTEMRESCUECD FOR RYZEN UPGRADE

But if I have to install that, it may be a while before I can upgrade to Devuan.

I also have the full Debian-Buster alpha2 installer downloading. Thread, and I have the Devuan-Live and refracto ISOs downloading.
