ls -ld /lib
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 100 Sep  8 13:30 /lib

No wonder alphaos can't load my radeon firmware... /lib is not symlinked to /usr/lib.

please fix in v11!

Kernel modules are installed to /lib, so it can't be symlink and it's not needed if you edit PKGBUILD to install radeon firmware to /lib/firmware,

I will enable forum registrations for today ...

I can't honestly understand why this topic has changed name to alphaOS [closed].
Both http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphaos/ and http://alphaos.tuxfamily.org are UP and running.
Was it simargl who changed the subject? Was it someone from Murga?
I stand clueless...

My guess is sim did it himself.

I dont like it but I will have to use both murga and alphaos forum now.

I will still post here but I dont expect sim to reply.

Maybe he will read it though? Will have to try that!

Sim dont know if you're interested but I made a version of AlphaOS10 with
a boot parameter pisoscan to fascilitate directly booting iso with grub.

Code: Select all

menuentry "ISO SCAN ALphaOS" {
set root=(hd0,msdos1)
loopback loop /boot/grub/Alphaos10WithIsoScan.iso
linux (loop)/vmlinuz pmedia=usb pisoscan=/boot/grub/Alphaos10WithIsoScan.iso 
initrd (loop)/initrd.gz
}

This was made by edit of init script from initrd.gz

Download and Try

init_AlphaOS10

Alphaos10WithIsoScan.iso
