Uel, 
I used the ones that Vector linked to, that would be B1.
I will test the newer ones.

I tried 1.5. 
"gui" gets to where it configures X, logs in as root, 
then it switches to runlevel 6.
"linux" reaches a point where it can not mount root,
and then locks up hard.

got md5sum?

linux is only there to boot already installed systems, there is no CLI
installer yet.
if you can run "gui 2" then login and try startx post back as much info as
possible I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

[Roy S. <nig...@ci...>]

md5sum checks.
Further tests indicate problems with the on-board Intel video.
I tried B1 again, and it launches installer on same machine

On a machine with nVidia video, B1.4 launches installer.

Attached are the Xorg log files. 
Xorg.0.log shows error messages.

I meant B1.5

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] First beta rollout of SOHO 6.0 (testing)

[uel a. <ue...@gm...>]

B1.6 is up, it should fix the intel video issue

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] First beta rollout of SOHO 6.0 (testing)

[Roy S. <nig...@ci...>]

B1.6 on laptop with Intel:

Installer fixed. I took a custom install as I didn't burn the second disc.
Clicked "I don't have it" when it asked for disc 2.

Now problem with installed system. It locked up hard at point of configuring 
X-windows. Boot to TUI and run vxconf gives same result. Using vesa driver 
also causes hard lockup when entering init 4

[Roy S. <nig...@ci...>]

I booted to VL-Light on same machine, 
set up LILO with vga=normal, and set SOHO B1.6 to boot to TUI.

Now I can run vxconf without it locking up. 
When I try "startx" it drops back to text mode with errors. 
Log files attached.

Roy,
the last 2 lines in both of the log files read: Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'
I am not sure why but it looks like your fonts are not setup, or maybe they
are missing.
try running "cd / && sh /var/log/scripts/font-misc-misc-1.0.0-noarch-3"

Re: [Vectorlinux-devel] First beta rollout of SOHO 6.0 (testing)

[Roy S. <nig...@ci...>]

Uel,

That did indeed fix X  :-)

I now think my laptop is getting flaky. After encountering some more problems, 
like alsaconf not finding any soundcard, I decided to go back and try some 
other ISO's which worked last week. Sure enough, same problem with my 
KDE-Classic versions. 

Bummer. You can disregard my testing reports as being unreliable,  and not 
representative.

Roy
