Restarted again, used the Linux boot option on the menu. I restarted and entered "editenv linuxboot", rewrote to: I then manually copied the boot files to the fat32 partition (sda1). Then I ran the alternative script again, this time pressed 2 for "Copy the Distribution" and entered "/dev/sda2" as the target, it appears all the files were transferred over. Made a 128 MB fat32 partition for the boot files in /dev/sda1, made /dev/sda2 as ext4 for the primary Linux partition, and the last partition for SWAP. Loaded GParted and partitioned out the drive myself. Tried to run "Install Ubuntu MATE with the alternative script" and entered 1 for "Prepare Hard Drive". Loaded Ubuntu MATE to desktop, everything looks good. Interesting, the flash drive that cannot be detected is a PNY 128 GB flash drive, the drive that was detected is also a PNY, but is older and I think 32 GB. You may want to document enter "usb reset" as the first command since it may help avoid issues and it wouldn't hurt. Tried another USB flash drive, had to enter "usb reset" for it to be detected, but it ended up working and I was able to load Ubuntu MATE. Obviously, you may need to select a different disk depending on your configuration, so modify things as necessary.įirst attempt: upon entering "fatload usb 0:1 1000000 uImage-cyrus" received error message: "** Bad device usb 0"Īttempted to use "usb start" and "usb reset", 0 storage devices found.
That's it! The button in the early start menu label Linux should now launch Ubuntu from the sda disk. I think you may need to copy the boot files manually to the fat32 partition you created (sda1 on my system) - I forget if this is done automatically.ģ) Restart without the X5000 without the flash disk and when the boing ball animation starts hit the 'esc' key and then the 'm' key to get to a command prompt.Įditenv linuxboot (there might be something already saved - just overwrite that) Follow the prompts and the system will be copied to the partition you tell it to (sda2 on my system). Select the first option to run Gparted and create a small fat32 partition for the boot files (uImage-cyrus, cyrus_5020.dtb, and uRamdisk) and a second larger partition for the system files (ext4 format or whatever).Ģ) Run the installer a second time and this time select the second option.
ġ) Boot Ubuntu from the flash disk and run the installer located on the desktop.
