Not sure if you bookmarked this yet or not after you get something to boot and install.

Edit: My bad. I missed the part where you said you are running manjero on that rig.

Hello,

Thanks for the help and ideas. (I’m getting used to that on this forum, and it’s part of the antiX fun).

dubs120 : thanks, but different case here since other OS boots well

Xecure : I can boot 32 bits 5.5 kernel live USB on other laptops without any issue. I follow the “normal” path with new kernel install, remaster, live kernel-updater.

Rokytnji : Thanks for the link – I don’t know how to deal with this debian tip, as it urges to use debian installer which we don’t have on a antiX live USB.

Since I failed with 32b Antix 19 live USB on my newer laptop (Dell XPS 7590), I tried a new 64b live USB. The result is a little better : after the boot options screen, the boot begins and stops when it comes to X and slim. I want to try with a 5.5 kernel. A first attempt failed. I installed 5.5 kernel, remastered and then use live kernel-updater. But this live USB still boots on the initial 4.9 kernel. I will keep you udpated.

Hello,

I was able to boot an antiX 19 live USB on my new laptop (Dell XPS 7590), with a 64 bits antiX and a 5.5 kernel. It works without any issue, and does not need any boot option. It’s great, thank you antiX to be an OS able to boot on a 15 years old PC as well as a brand new laptop. You just have to experiment by yourself, but hey, it’s part of antiX fun, isn’t it ?

I had tried :
– 32 bits antiX + 5.5/4.19/4.9 kernel : black screen after boot screen
– 64 bits antiX + 4.9 kernel : black screen after beginning of the boot process (when it comes to Xorg)

And I tried several boot options with no luck (failsafe…)
