Re: Salix 14.2 install fails on SBC

I see what the problem is... nano /etc/fstab is displaying none of the devices from the disk I just installed it to. Instead it's showing me the USB drive's fstab:
devpts /dev/pts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc defaults 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm defaults 0 0

It won't allow the mounting of /dev/mmcblk0p3 ...

Re: Salix 14.2 install fails on SBC

Because nothing was working to fix the problem I reinstalled Salix and eth0 works but slapt-get --update won't work (response: "slapt-get: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory") nor will wget (similar response), but ping google ...

Re: Salix 14.2 install fails on SBC

djemos - I was not aware of needing to run /sbin/grubconfig and that may very well be the cause of the problem. Grub is easier with Debian based systems (which almost always use it as the default bootloader anyway) and very few steps are required. djemos - I certainly did run update-grub (a number ...

Re: Salix 14.2 install fails on SBC

Darn... Grub's in but still won't boot (even after using Boot Repair from a Ubuntu Mate 16.04 64-bit USB).

Re: Salix 14.2 install fails on SBC

There we go! Found 2nd 1/2 of solution here: https://www.linux.com/learn/intro-slackware-package-management where it informed me of "slap-get" where I updated then upgraded existing packages, then "slapt-get --install grub" installed grub2. Now my system should be bootable.
All thanks to Mimosa for ...

Re: Salix 14.2 install fails on SBC

I cannot boot the GizmoSphere Gizmo 2 without a Windows or Grub bootloader. The command "install-grub" does not work, even if Grub has been downloaded and install of as much attempted.
I cd'd to /grub2/, then chmod +x (all of the files within that directory excluding "README") but "install-grub" and ...

This was response to maximus, but the quote disappeared...
I had been repeatedly shown an ip address, netmask and broadcast address in response to ifconfig, but ping (you might consider adding "Press Ctrl + C to stop the pinging if you are provided responses) provided no responses and wget did not ...

$ sudo netconfig
This will bring up a ncursers dialog box to setup your network

I followed the slackware page for setting up eth0 function seen here: https://docs.slackware ...

Hello all,
My name is David and I have been attempting to install Salix XFCE 14.2 64 bit on my Gizmo 2 SBC (Single Board Computer) but it requires the use of Grub, as Lilo fails to install every time. I have tried the steps for install of Grub during OS installation, but it always responds to "grub ...
