ARM – Odroid C2 – Updated..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 19, 2019 by RGAugust 19, 2019

When the Odroid C2 was first released way back in 2016, I spent ages trying to get it to function correctly with a mainstream kernel, and tested innumerable development versions of U-Boot, including functionality that was working OK at that time, but that – for some reason – then failed to be included in the ‘mainstream’ U-Boot.. … Continue reading →

This is absolutely not the place for any discussion on the ramifications of the ‘Hackintosh’ movement, but it will suffice to use that terrible phrase ‘Google is your friend..’.. The Clover/MacOS instance was on … Continue reading →

New Install – Dual-Boot, Serial Console, Intel Ethernet Issues – Fixed..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on February 18, 2019 by RGFebruary 18, 2019

Setting up an old HP8000 desktop small-form-factor system as a crash-and-burn test system, with dual-boot Fedora 29 and Windows 7, on separate drives. First slight gotcha with the Fedora install: The installation utility shows the two disks, the first of which has Windows 7 (sda) and the second – additional – was for the Fedora Linux install … Continue reading →

Linux – Dual-Boot Nasty Hack..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on March 14, 2018 by RGMarch 14, 2018

I am setting up an HP Z820 as – primarily – a video creating/editing/restoring system, but I need to be able to boot into Windows 7 Pro (for Vegas Pro, AviSynth, Prodrenalin, Mercalli, etc. etc..) and Linux (Fedora)..   I had set up dual-boot systems before, and I am still using Windows 7 Pro SP1, but this time … Continue reading →

Hardware – Replacing the System Disk..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on June 2, 2016 by RGJune 2, 2016

My ‘system disk’ (/dev/sda) started to show bad sectors, recently, and so I decided to replace it.    The disk was around 8 years old, and had been in almost-continuous use.. I have not had to do this for some considerable time, and I think the last time was in the late-90s, and using LILO!  (No convoluted grub2 … Continue reading →
