Installing Commodore OS Vision

[tcr666@gmx.at]

If have a problem with installing COS. I read this thread, but acually it didn't help, because I'm a really newbie here.

What I did:
generating a bootable usb with rufus (serval versions) with the ISO from the website
https://www.commodoreos.net/CommodoreOS.aspx

I alwaiys was running into:
Init: version 2.96 booting
...
...
...
Waiting for /dev to be fully populated...

Then the installation stops

I read in a post that someone solved that with Failsave. What is ment with this?

Hardware:
ASRock N100DC-itx mainboard
Samsung SSD 980 with 250 GB
Ranxiana SSD 128 GB (2,5")

Please, need help !

Thanks!

I solved this issue. I found the failsave in the advanced section

Installation was running fine, after that.

But now I got a new problem. I updates the Kernel with the option in COS, and now it is not starting after reboot.

Kind regards.

Then don't do that!

Seriously though, if the OS is running fine on your hardware then there is no definite requirement to update the kernel.
It's a nice thing to include, in the hopes of increasing hardware compatibility, but the benefits otherwise are not really noticeable.
I've always thought, if anything, updating the kernel might lead to instability, but your account is the first I've actually heard of this occurring.
You might just want to reinstall and not undertake a kernel upgrade.
Sorry it didn't work out for you.
Thanks for letting us know.

Yes you are right
I just tried to get another resolution than 800 x 600 wich fits to the 16:9 format of the monitor.
Is there a way to to change this without doing the kernel or OS update?

Ouch! Are you connected to the monitor via HDMI?
I noticed the other day that a vga cable may not allow you to go higher than that.
