Problems with 5.1.0 Legacy installation.
by Peperina from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53HK5)
Hi!
I'm attempting to install this distro on an old K7 Athlon XP Palomino, 32-bit, 1Gb RAM with two 40Gb IDE drives PC.
Had to work out boot media issues (Plop + Rufus).
So far it seems the installations are not "persistent". These are some factors that confuse me:
1- Attempted both "Erase disk and install..." and "Install alongside..." options, pointing to an empty secondary HDD with the same results.
2- I see little HDD activity during installation.
3- As per Bodhi Wiki, once upon completion, I don't get asked with "Restart Now" or removing media.
4- As per the installation process, once I complete the hostname, user, etc. data I get the clock cursor and a few minutes later get the regular desktop layout and icons.
5- Another thing that confuses me, is that in this desktop layout I see an "install Bodhi" icon in the bottom bar.
6- After rebooting and setting BIOS for HDD (Linux) boot, the process gets stuck on "Verifying DMI pool data".
Please let me know if there's something I can do before rebooting to check if the installation had actually completed. Or any other workaround. Thanks a lot!
