Is there some way to eliminate the old ISOs, or at least mark them old, and point people to the new ones? |

Re: New install of "SimplyMEPIS-USB_8.5.03-rel1_64" is unsta It more a matter of the mirrors being behind and people not reading the mepis.org site. Or even reading stuff here.

Re: New install of "SimplyMEPIS-USB_8.5.03-rel1_64" is unsta Thank you for the grub boot line clarifications I'll experiment more with it tomorrow. Roadblock freezes at login 'enter.' Also will try another distro on the exixting partitions to prove/disprove HD issue.

Re: New install of "SimplyMEPIS-USB_8.5.03-rel1_64" is unsta Installed SalineOS-1.6 in the partitions I'd tried installing Mepis 11-64. Saline installed glitch free. I'll look more carefully for the latest version of Mepis 11 .iso to download and give it another attempt.

Re: New install of "SimplyMEPIS-USB_8.5.03-rel1_64" is unsta Finally running Mepis. There must be something awry with hard drive sdd. Sucessfully installed and booted to a small 7.8gB (considering home is included on root) partition on sda. If Mepis can run without the annoying freezing up all too regularily, as is the case with Kubuntu and Fedora, then it'll move Mepis to more suitable partitions for regular use. This sdd4 partition is for testing. One very annoying thing is happening, this error message:
I'm not sure what it means, there doesn't appear to be an apparent problem with regard to functionality of the system. It pops up every few minutes and I'd like to find out how to turn it off. |

Re: New install of "SimplyMEPIS-USB_8.5.03-rel1_64" is unsta Googling portions of the error messages, they tend to point to;
1. RAM Memory errors, indicated by the CE status, with dire warnings that they will degenerate to full blown faults as the chips break down further. 2. Cache memory errors on some other hardware device if it's not the RAM chips. Quoted from http://kernel.org/doc/Documentation/edac.txt
I guess that means any device that has onboard memory in active processes can can be responsible for the messages, and I would add, they might also be triggered by memory incompatibility or firmware bugs too. You can disable the messages if you really want to, see the following thread viewtopic.php?f=38&t=32593 Mike P _________________ Mike P Regd Linux User #472293 (1)Lenovo e520, i7-2640M, 8GB, 500GB Seagate Hybrid, M11-RoadblockB-64 (2) Asus M4A88TD-M, AMD Phenom II x4 955 CPU, Radeon HD 4250, 4Gb, 1.5TB, M11-64 |
