Ongeloof Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Right, this would have been about the forth time i have posted about putting Sx86 on my lil Lappy. It is the Advent 7087, and whenever i boot a DVD, whether it be JaS or iATKOS, rev 1 or 2, it is always waiting for that bloody root device! Now, unlike my PC which has a great BIOS, this stupid thing only has the model type, whether to put numlock on at the start and what device to boot at start. Now, if need be, i can put a copy of iATKOS rev2 on an external HDD, if we cant get it to see root device. Anything i can do to make if have the root device? I try -s and it does nothing.... what can i do? is there any way to update my laptops bios with new feature and such? does it need a good old fashion flashing? Think Mark EDIT: Sorry for posting in the wrong forum. Didn't look, still getting used to the new layout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ongeloof Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 No such luck, whenevr i try to install either iATKOS, rev1 or 2 and JaS 10.4.8 it lets me pick my language in VMWARE, but then crashes when it is about to load. Anything i can do? i would preffer iATKOS... Think Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Mark Try a flat-image install on an external (usb) harddrive, and if that works clone the install-partition to your internal hard drive. good luck, ninetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
