Antix 21 Installation issue Solved. Needed 64 Bit Sys

[Member Mariousz1]

Hello,

I have issue with Antix 21 installation on Acer Aspire One 722.
All versions of Mx Linux working well but Antix not. (Looks like Mx Linux is too heavy for this netbook so I will check Antix)

I tried make bootable usb with Rufus, Balena Etcher, and MX Linux tool:
– Antix 21 386 base – won’t boot
– Antix 21 386 full – Christmas blinking lights after boot 😀
YouTube video
It is just after start of my laptop and start booting from pendrive. All boot options for Antix have this same issue like on above YT video.

Please help. Just started creating bootable USB pendrive with x64 image.

Hi,

1) Did you verify integrity of the downloaded ISO using check-sum(s)?
2) Would you care to try to boot with antiX-19 and see whether the problem is there as well.
3) antiX-21 should have two different kernels to easily service both old and new HW.
Were you able to select one of the kernels prior to reaching the “Christmas” lights?
4) Also, I searched the forum for ‘Acer Aspire’ (narrowing down ‘Acer Aspire One’ did not seem to have the desired effect) and there were some results.
E.g. user ‘shloz’ reported he ran antiX-19/21 on another Acer Aspire One [D257] model and had some issues with antiX-21.
https://www.antixforum.com/forums/topic/reboot-issue/
That’s where my suggestion 2) comes from.
I did not go through all the stuff but it is possible some tips might be there.
5) Since antiX is based on Debian, I search web for ‘fail boot debian “Acer Aspire One”‘:
It yields a link to Debian wiki which contains some troubleshooting. Probably worth a try.
https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/Acer/AspireOne

Tip: Replacing ‘debian’ by ‘ubuntu’ (in the search string) might produce some other results of relevance.

Hope that helps at least a bit.

Hi, issue is fixed.
CRC was ok. Looks like 32 bit version was not compatible with my hardware.
Full x64 version is installed and working well.
Thanks for help.

I did not realize that it was 64-bit system.
Please, edit the title of the 1st post and mark it as solved e.g. by “prepending” ‘[SOLVED]’ to it.
