Sorry I fell off for a minute there... Tried your kernel, still nothin... Been playing with puppy linux/arcade; if only the wii had more ram :)by noshroud - Wii Linux
Thanks, I'll keep fidddlin with it.... Is the purpose behind the kernel you have to install the filesystem onto a USB flash drive/external HD? Does the kernel go there as well? Thank you for all your helpby noshroud - Wii Linux
arg... hehe. New flash card didn't work at all; the installer couldn't see the files. I repartitioned an external usb hard drive so I had a small partition to put the bundle on for the GUI installer. This actually worked, and I was able to play with the config file so I could install the debianlenny 5.0 filesystem The correct file counts are 12380 and 5 for the filesystem and kerby noshroud - Wii Linux
I've tried both the NTSC options. I know my TV operates in interlaced mode, so it ought to be the 480i for ntsc kernel. I'll try the pal options tonight. I figured the wrong kernel would most likely result in a display issue? I now have access to another flash drive, so I'm going to try the gui installer with that tonight as well. Thanks!by noshroud - Wii Linux
Thanks, I did switch it to an ext2. No luck. Why would it be working fine when booted as an IOS but not when booted through bootmii? Maybe it's not the filesystem but how I installed the Mike kernel? All I did was put it in the bootmii folder, though I did download and do that on a windows machine. Thanks againby noshroud - Wii Linux
I thought I'd add; I did all the Linux work using Puppy and it's default GUI. I read that you are automatically logged in as root so I figured there should be no problems with the untarring of the filesystem. I have all the files (22) on the linux partition, not in a folder or anything. Is this correct?by noshroud - Wii Linux
Ok so fixing the flags didn't help when loading via BootMii; however, I now seem to have a working system when loaded through the HBC. Does this mean that I am using the wrong kernel image from BootMii? I have Mikep5~NTSC 480p.elf in my bootmii folder on the fat partition. The error I am receiving is kernel panic unable to load FS Thanksby noshroud - Wii Linux
Good idea, i'll check out those settings when I get home. The only browser out of those I recognize is links (not the 2 part) so I'll check them all out. Thank you both very much. Are there any working window managers or basic GUI's? Thanks again, I'll post my results on your fix for everyone in a couple hours.by noshroud - Wii Linux
Originally I tried the gui installer. When it came to partitioning my sd card it would allow me to make the first (fat) partition, while allocating the "rest" for the linux filesystem. Problem is that for some reason it decided the "rest" was huge, a million MB or more. So I tried the manual install; I have: SD card with a Fat and Ext3 partition Fat partition has Mike5 in the bootmii folby noshroud - Wii Linux
