Any news about iso for testing?

Soon. We're working on making good isos.

Meanwhile, some of the derivative distros have beowulf-based isos.

~$ uname -a
Linux devuan 4.19.0-2-686-pae #1 SMP Debian 4.19.16-1 (2019-01-17) i686 GNU/Linux

~$ free

Swap:       7811068           0     7811068

I am new to the forum, but wanted to post that installation went smoothly and I'm up and running. So far, devuan looks promising on this old hardware. Right now, I'm using Midori on icewm.
Thank you devs for all your work.

Thx fsmithred! I cruized right thru the expert install (tho, I'm no expert--jus` like that process wink ).

Now off to the ML to find that test request, and see if I can assist.  smile

Tried to manually setup my Mate with lightdm, there I am stuck, can't enter username/password during login. Different topic though.

Thanks, Rolf

Same with me, German mirror, non EFI expert install, tried all 3 offered distribtions ASCII, Beowulf, Ceres, all the same.

Regards, Rolf

Addendum: also the image dated April 18 shows the same kernel modules error.

Finally moved in & unpacked enough to visit!
An image for beowulf! You Dev's rock.
I went for fsmithred's advice, dated December 31, 2018, and got the same error...

I attempted an install using mini.iso (from netboot) recently and encountered an error during the install, something about kernel mismatch. The error was serious as presented, that the resulting install may not boot.  And sure enough; the installed os would not boot.

No kernel modules found. Using ca & us mirrors.
No disk drives found. Aborted attempt for now, since I can't get passed that!

What I ended up doing was installing ascii netinst.iso, keeping the install minimal- no desktop.  Then immediately upon 1st boot upgrading to beowulf.

That sounds easier then my past upgrades yikes
Gonna install on spare partition.
Asta
cool

No! You want the one dated December 31, 2018. Note that both files have the same name. You need to rename one or keep them in separate directories.

Apart from that the further discussion left me behind. Too may acronyms like XD, ML, YMMV, ATM.

Well, meanwhile used the duck to look up what that means and got the explanations now, but the first reading was just causing ?????

I understand that. For now, I am fine with what I have ATM. Seems stable enough.

I have obviously missed it... I am new here, and using Devuan just a couple of days now, still figuring it out.
What is ML, btw?
