I was just trying to boot it up on bare metal yesterday, on an AMD Phenom II machine but Kernel Panic’d on not finding a device to boot from, which was a bit puzzling. Unfortunately had no time to investigate, but I won’t give up, I make it boot somehow on that PC.
There’s nothing like that is enabled AFAIK, I"m not even sure this board has UEFI (only Legacy BIOS). It’s an Acer Veriton M421G brand PC, with a Phenom II X4 945 CPU.
Not even sure it’s compatible with the OS, but this boot device issue was strange, tho. (had the same problem booting up a partition manager software from floppy that is based on Visopsys)
But will double check everything. Thanks for the tip!
I dd-ed the image straight to the HDD. grub started and booted off from it. lots of messages of PCI devices, I guess some kind of scan. after a while the screen went white, and a bit later the logs of the kernel panic appeared at the top, with the message it could’t find a device to boot from.
so, it seems that the kernel itself didn’t see the hdd it just booted from - standard IDE PATA disk, 120GB. Used dd from a gparted live disc.
First, I resized the partition on the disk to the full, at the next try I left it, as-is.
Both times the same result; the BIOS boots into Serenity, white screen, then kernel panic, couldn’t find a device to boot from.
Thing is, there are 2 DVD drives (IDE and SATA) and a floppy drive attached to the PC, dunno if they can cause any problem. And 1GB memory.
this was yesterday, and since then I haven’t got tieme to fiddle with it, but will. :)
Amazing project.

Or try to run it on a Raspberry Pi 400.

What do you mean by that?
I used x86_64 build, and my CPU is 64-bit. (Ran 64-bit Windows and different Linux systems on it before)

Thanks for the tip, but I know, what I was talking about 😅
I use IDE HDD with this machine. The mobo has several SATA ports, but my HDD is IDE, it’s not a mistake.
Tho, that setting is, indeed is IDE, so I might set it to AHCI for Serenity, but the drive is still hoiked into the IDE bus.
But if the problem is the fact, that I’m trying to use IDE and should try with a SATA drive, I’ll look into it as soon as I can.
And thanks for co-piloting ;)
