I can boot to StartOS but no apps will install. Bitcoin Core just gets into a loop saying “Starting” but never gets to “Running.” Similarly, FreeGPT-2 downloads but then fails the Validation check [“Failed:Invalid Signature: signature error. Verification equation was not satisfied”].
When I boot up there is are multiple lines of error codes:
Serial bus multi instantiate pseudo device driver INT3515:01: error -EINVAL: IRQ index 0 not found
Serial bus multi instantiate pseudo device driver INT3515:01: error -EINVAL: Error requesting irq at index 0
Timed out waiting for device dev-sda2.device - /dev/sda2. (only shows when attempting to boot into safe mode)
Trying to work with AI to determine root cause but it’s point to there being something wrong with the filesystem partitioning - from what I understand, the ISO file does the partitioning right? Wondering if anyone’s run into similar issues - I’m psuedo-technical but not a dev/programmer so this is all over my head and quite frustrating.
Could this be a bios / hardware issue? Are you trying to dual boot w/a Windows machine? Maybe that’s causing the issue w/not allowing StartOS to run cleanly?
When you boot to StartOS can you download the Kernel logs and the OS logs? If so you could upload them here and maybe I or someone else can review them and provide more direction to where you should look for your problem.
The PCIs Bus error is basically the Linux kernel reporting a hardware issue. It’s either bad hardware, or kernel incompatibility. I saw similar issues on an HP laptop I tried to run Linux Mint on. I wasn’t ever able to get it you work.
The picture I posted of the recurring PCIe error is all I see in the kernel logs. Just keeps repeating the same message over and over endlessly.
The C: drive does indeed have Windows on it, and I was (eventually) able to disable BitLocker to allow me to boot to another disk with another OS. I was able to do the same thing on another machine at a friend’s house and Start9 works great on that one! Just can’t get this one to play nice.
So weird that the PCIe thing keeps happening, even though everything works great in Windows. @StuPleb can you elaborate on the closed-source driver thing? Is that something that can be worked around, or is Linux attempting to run something that it doesn’t have access to because it’s locked down?
It means your PCIe interface needs proprietary drivers. These are distributed with Windows and aren’t in the linux kernel. There might be open source equivalents in the next kernel, so perhaps the newer kernel in the next version of StartOS would help.
Unfortunately this HP machine has OMEN BIOS and is pretty limited - I was able to update the BIOS but not sure how to access or update the individual component drivers.
If it’s worth anything to anyone, AI helped me hone in on the error coming from a Realtek device (10ec:xxxx). Gonna try to find a way around it and will report back if I find anything.
