Unable to boot Arca Installer 5.1.1 on Thinkpad T43 1871-AB9

<< < (2/6) > >>

Dave Yeo:
I think he has had https://mantis.arcanoae.com/view.php?id=3798 open since the 27th with no one jumping in. Lewis is the T4x expert and likely been busy with the web site upgrade.
I think Doug is on the right track with not properly creating the stick. See what Dan says.

Dan Eicher:
For the USB Stick, I followed the directions included with the bundle.

The file called readusb.txt using .\dfsanwin.exe -q run aosboot.dfs <snip>

For DVD creation, I used CDBurnerXP - burn iso, pointing to ArcaOS-5.1.1-en.iso.

In the past couple of years, I've updated both main and cmos batteries, and updated to the latest bio's revision I could find on thinkpad forum.

The ubuntu and gpart was not added to confuse the issue, but simply to demonstrate yes, I can boot from the usb port, yes I can boot from dvd and yes, the drive is seen and can be read from and written to.

Dan Eicher:
I also wanted to add, I've watched all the David Azarewicz video's I could find on the the tube.

Including those talking to BIOs, CSM, UEFI and using the minilvm tool for install.

The challenge is, I'm not even getting a splash screen.

Dave Yeo:
Can you try your media on a different computer? You don't have to actually do an install, just see if your media boots.

Dave Yeo:
Forgot to ask, are you getting the first menu where you have a choice of booting from the HD or the stick? If not I'd consider the stick broken.
