Either your BIOS does not support reading an iso9660 filesystem from an USB stick, or you just need to allow it to boot from USB (in the BIOS menu).

Re: [DNG] Home server replacement hardware suggestions?
I have to say your current computer is more than powerful enough for your current uses and I would advise saving your money instead, perhaps instead just buy a SSD for the primary drive and some storage disks for storage. Your current system is also pre-PSP so it lacks AMD's version of the evil ME thus I very much suggest keeping it. If you insist on upgrading I would consider: * The OpenPOWER9 TALOS 2 Lite which is an owner controlled open source firmware workstation (the only blob is the NIC firmware which they are working on freeing[1]) - the base 4 core CPU idles at around 10W. [1]It was considered a better choice than using an intel NIC, and the system IOMMU protects from potential malicious DMA. * Another good choice is the KCMA-D8 which is the last and best owner controlled x86 motherboard that supports libre firmware via coreboot-libre or libreboot - as you are using it for a low power server I suggest obtaining one of the low power "EE" series 43xx CPU's with their max 35W TDP which idle at around 20W per 4 cores and are good enough to watch 1080p movies on. The KCMA-D8 can now use OpenBMC[2] if you obtain the optional ASMB4 or ASMB5 BMC firmware storage module. I have a few of the pre-PSP Socket C32 computers and I am quite satisfied with them and their power consumption, which is much better than the Socket G34 systems such as the KGPE-D16. [2] The KGPE-D16 and KCMA-D8 have the facebook OpenBMC whereas the TALOS 2 has the better (in terms of features) IBM OpenBMC however both are a secure open source remote access solution which is much better than the proprietary junk shipped with the modules. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Your clonezilla backup will work on the new computer without the need of reinstalling the grub. One of the requeriments will be to have a hard disk with the same capacity (or higher) than the original. Otherwise yo'll not be able to restore your backup. Take account of this if you are thinking on a solid state hard disk. HTH, Aitor. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] Home server replacement hardware suggestions?
I have an old desktop at home running Devuan ascii for some basic server/file storage functions. Unfortunately the disk sounds like it's almost dead so I took a clonezilla backup and now want to find some replacement hardware. Looking to get something a bit more power conservative than this old desktop tower. The old machine has an AMD A8-3850 APU with 1TB HDD and 4GB Ram, sitting on a A75M-HVS motherboard. I'm hoping I can just build/buy a replacement of some sort and load the clonezilla backup directly onto the new disk and just boot up, reinstalling the grub boot loader from livecd? Or will I have to reinstall if it's going onto different hardware? Does anyone have any suggestions on what to get or where to look? Intel vs AMD? --Tom ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] [FIXED] mate-power-manager and a few other banned packages
Dear D1rs, just to let you know that we have fixed a bug in amprolla that made the ban of packages depending on systemd a bit too conservative. In fact, the bug caused also packages for which systemd was an alternative dep to be banned. That was fixed during the weekend. This means that a few packages that were banned from ascii but worked fine with consolekit, such as mate-power-manager, have now hit the repos and can be installed.
