I downloaded the new version but I can not start the computer from the installation disk devuan_chimaera_4.0.0_amd64_netinstall.iso

The iso image contain pae kernel headers instead of non-pae. I reported this in the post above. (

The non-pae kernel is default for those with old machines. The linux-headers package is in the iso, but it does not get installed by default. That's standard for debian and consequently for devuan.

I'm upset that the bug was not fixed in the final version of the disk Devuan GNU/Linux 3.0 (beowulf) i386 - desktop 20200526

Thank you for the answer. I put initrd.gz,  vmlinuz from the above source  on the hard drive partition and added to the bootloader:

menuentry "Dev1 beowulf netinst " {
    set root='(hd0,gpt2)'
    linux /boot/linux priority=low vga=788 ---
    initrd /boot/initrd.gz
   }

The hd-media method allows you to install the system from your hard drive, without using a USB flash drive or compact disc drive.

I try to install a devuan_beowulf_3.0.0_i386-netinstall.iso using a hd-media method, from https://pkgmaster.devuan.org/devuan/dis … nt/images/

I have two network cards:

# lspci -k |grep -A3 net

        Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. A7V600/P4P800/K8V motherboard
        Kernel driver in use: skge
        Kernel modules: skge

        Subsystem: Intel Corporation EtherExpress PRO/100+ Management Adapter
        Kernel driver in use: e100
        Kernel modules: e100

The installer cannot detect these cards.

If it is possible to post isos using jigdo, I will download and testing.

6. Boot and general running feel slower compared to ASCII (intel i3-380m, 8G ram, SSD)

Yes, I also confirm, not using ssd. I tried different kernels. Thunar run slowly, the interface is stupidly slow compared to acsii. But most likely this is no longer a Devuan problem.

You can try changing the source.list to chimaera instead beowulf

#13 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-04-07 16:32:48

I installed XFCE4 and lightdm. On the welcome screen, where you need to enter a username and password, the buttons for shutting down and rebooting are inactive at the top right. How to make them active? Maybe I missed something from the installation packages?

#15 Re: News & Announcements » Beowulf Beta is here! » 2020-04-02 12:04:43

dmesg displays an error when loading relatively group "kvm".
Wouldn't it be a mistake to do so or not?

/lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules
# KERNEL=="kvm", GROUP="kvm", MODE="0666" , OPTIONS+="static_node=kvm"

It also installs 4.19.0-8-686 instead of 4.19.0-8-686-pae kernel, without headers from 4.19.0-8-686

I installed 3.0.0_beta_i386_desktop.iso After removing the pulse, the shortcut remained in the menu (/usr/share/applications/pavucontrol.desktop)

refractasnapshot does not want to be installed. Depends: syslinux (<3: 6.03)
