problems</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV class=Section1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am trying out SOAS for the first time, for a workshop
related to an OLPC deployment.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Unfortunately I can’t get it to run on either of two
laptops on which I tested. I followed the instructions using LiveUSB Creator,
with a previously downloaded copy of the SOAS-2-Bueberry iso. The flash drive
was 2GB capacity, previously reformatted and I used 505MB of persistent
storage.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am using Windows Vista and tested it on that and also a
machine running W7. Both required the boot helper but started up OK with the
start up screen with the circle of dots forming clockwise around the X. But
before the circle of dots completes, it hangs and on pressing the ESC key I
see the following:<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>/sbin/dmsquash-live-root:166: grep not found<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>dracut warning: machine in enforcing mode and cannot
execute load_policy<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>dracut warning: to disable selinux, add selinux=0 to the
kernel command line<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>dracut warning: not continuing<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I reproduced this behaviour with another flash drive, so I
doubt that is the problem. As stated, same behaviour with two very different
laptop computers (both ASUS, one an F3SC laptop, one a 1005HA netbook).
<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Could it be an incomplete download? Using Windows Explorer
(right click/properties) on the downloaded iso file it shows as 589 MB
(617,611,264 bytes). Can anyone verify that is OK? However, it succeeds with
the LiveUSB Creator and does start up initially.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>That is not so easy for me to test as in the Solomons it
can be an overnight job to download 600MB, and there are often
outages.<o:p></o:p></P>
