Davide, I've also had problems i
No swap and ext4 filesystem on the second partition, but I think I've edited

I also wrote the image to an SD card by using "dd if=

same as before.

Exclusively Slackware since Version 1.0, I guess I'm used to the
original 80x25 default font. :^)..
I just acquired a RasPi B and installed armedslack13.37, that's running
fine.. Searching the Web I see much dialogue but nothing, so far, for
armedslack. Can someone point me to a site tha
Davide, I've also had problems installing Slackware on RPi.
My board/card did not work with kernel / images they provided.
I've suggested Slackware for RPI should use Raspbian kernel - because
it is ACTIVELY supported.

No nothing obscure needs to be done it should just work. I checked today at
home. These images have been tested on a multitude of boards and have never
failed to boot.
Have you created a swap and ext4 root fs? Donkt know if it will boot without
these being present.

No I formatted the filesystem myself and copied files into it.

FWIW; I had intermittent issues using dd so tried:
cat x.img > /dev/sd_
Dunno wh
I recognise that behaviour, I encountered the same kind of behaviour. In my
case it was because the bootloader code/GPU was trying to initialise the HDMI
interface, and I run the pi headless.
I fixed that by adding the line:
hdmi_safe=1
to config.txt
I'm using a later level of GPU firmware
Did you dd the image onto the card?
What suze of card?

I can't get it to boot at all.

Where can I get more details on how the PI boots ?
Does the GPU get properly initialized right away ? can I see the kenel booting
on the HDMI output ? or do I need a serial console for that ?
So all the other files are not necessary for booting ?
COPYING.linux and LICENCE.broadcom are probabbl
