Hello,
when trying to install
SL-7-x86_64-Everything-Dual-Layer-DVD.iso
from an usbkey created with
dd if=SL-7-x86_64-Everything-Dual-Layer-DVD.iso of=/dev/sdc bs=512
installation request goes on on most of x86_64 computers.
But on EEEPC-1000hd ( celeron processor, 900mhz), installation process
stops at boot request
boot:
and following messages are issued:
boot:
Failed to load libcom32.c32
Failed to load COM32 file vesamenu.c32
Is it completely impossible to run the boot process on EEEPC-1000hd
because it's known as a 32bits machine?
Can something be done to overcome this failing step?
Should I come back, to
SL-6.6-i386-2014-11-05-Everything-DVD1.iso
SL-6.6-i386-2014-11-05-Everything-DVD2.iso
?
Thank you for your help
Charles
Charles,
You are correct, the 1000HD uses a Celeron M 353 which is a 32-bit only
processor. SL7 is only available as a 64-bit OS. You will have to
stick with SL6 in this case or switch to another distribution that still
builds for 32-bit.
I'm a bit sour over TUV's choice to drop 32-bit, but you have to roll
with the punches.
