Andlinux Does Hard Reset

[Bad_Bob]

I've seen andLinux in use and was really impressed by it.

I ran the "run_to_install.bat", and then "startup.bat" aper the instructions, but every time I run the "startup.bat" my box does a hard reset.

I've got Windows XP SP2.

Here is the output of the install bat file:

Ill try the latest version... wait a sec.


Edit: Works fine for me, try re-extracting/downloading the file.

If the new download doesn't work for you, try lowering the amount of RAM for andLinux. andLinux requires at least 128MB of free memory to run. Open settings_static.txt and change mem=128 to mem=96. Also, try moving it to a folder that is shorter in length. i.e. c:\andLinux or something. Let me know if either works for you. I am working on the new version and will hold off on release until we find the cause.

My system did the same thing, my solution was found at colinux's wiki. colinux wiki

coLinux 0.6.1 and XP SP2

Version 0.6.1 has an issue with PAE, which is enabled by XP SP2 (it implements DEP/NX, which activates PAE as well). If you want to use 0.6.1 with XP SP2 disable DEP/NX and PAE, by adding the switches /noexecute=AlwaysOff /NOPAE to your boot.ini BEFORE you install coLinux 0.6.1.

When it was all said and done, my boot.ini looked like this. Be sure to reboot after you make the changes.

[boot loader]
timeout=0
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect /noexecute=AlwaysOff /NOPAE

I have emailed Henry to find out if this bug is back. It was fixed, but it is possible it is back. andLinux uses a modified version of CoLinux with many fixes/patches applied that aren't in the main branch yet.

My guess is that it is. The very next paragraph after the one I quoted above...

This might apply to coLinux 0.6.2 too (FIXME: verify that claim) (Windows XP SP2 machines yielded very different results for me. The main machine I had been working on would reboot if I attempted to run coLinux without the bootflags. The other machine operated perfectly fine without them and would start coLinux without a hitch. The hardware was very similar but apparently different enough - the troublesome machine's behavior continued after a fresh install of XP. -- asmclean)

You are correct, except that the bug was thought to be corrected in CoLinux 0.6.3. andLinux uses CoLinux 0.7.1. andLinux POC v1.0 was based on CoLinux 0.7.0 and this issue was never reported. This is not to say that it didn't exist, just that it is only being reported in POC v2.1. I am wondering if it is the move to a higher version of gcc that could be causing it.

Following the mailing lists it seems that CoLinux 0.6.3 does still have this issue. Most can correct with only /NoExecute=AlwaysOff. It looks like this affects recent Intel P4 machines (according to the documentation). I will update the Wiki.
