Black Screen During Install about chimeraos HOT 11 CLOSED

Just a heads up, I haven’t given up. Just been too busy to try the fix again. I will try again in the next couple of days.

from chimeraos.

So I figured out how to get by the black screen, but now I am running into this when I select the install drive.

Any advice?

Thank you for reporting.

From the log it seems there is a bug in the install script. It is not correctly finding the first partition. I will try to get a fix out ASAP.

May I ask what the initial issue with the black screen was and how you worked around it?

Using an Asus ROG Strix mobo, I just disabled CSM compatibility in BIOS.

I think I have fixed the issue, here are the instructions to try it out:

1. boot into your existing USB installer
2. select a target disk, when the installer warns about formatting the disk, select "No" ; this will drop you to a shell
3. use curl to downlad the patched script from here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamer-os/frzr/master/frzr-bootstrap
4. assign execution permissions to the downloaded script i.e. chmod +x frzr-bootstrap
5. copy the downloaded script to /usr/bin/frzr-bootstrap
6. run ./install.sh to start the installer again

Please let me know how it goes.

Getting “no file or directory exists” when entering chmod command.

is the file there? i think you have to download it with curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/gamer-os/frzr/master/frzr-bootstrap > frzr-bootstrap

Thanks for sticking with it. Do you mean that downloading the file worked, or were you able to successfully install GamerOS?

from chimeraos.

Yes. Installed successfully following your instructions. Thanks, working great!
