Hoping you can do the new kernel soon so that I can get the NUC running...

Just arrived home. Too late to start now *sorry*. Hopefully I can find some time to finish this tomorrow.

  • Create usb boot using Unetbootin on a USB3.0 (does not work with USB2.0) stick
  • Replaced vmlinuz with that from new kernel
  • Booted NUC, get greyed out "download updates while installing Ubuntu"
  • Continued installing, rebooted
  • Get error messages "Failed to execute /init (error -8)"  "Starting init: /bin/sh exists but couldn't execute it (error -8)" Kernel panic - not syncing: No working init found"
Tried both 1.1 and 1.0 iso images, same problem

Come to think of it. You shouldn't be seeing that init file error. The install kernels don't actually need that file. Not entirely sure what went wrong, but I have built the latest 4.x series kernel. And verified that it'll work. Try this kernel and let me know if your network isi now behaving properly (or not).

Tried new kernel 4.19.37,  no good.  Still have init error.   

Just to make sure I am doing this correct,
  • Download the latest iso snakeoil-x86_64-1.1.0.iso
  • Download kernel install-4.19.37-rt19-i686-snakeoil-20190512.zip (unzip vmlinuz)
  • Create usb with Unetbootin
  • Go to Casper folder in usb, rename vmlinuz
  • Copy vmlinuz from kernel into Casper folder

You are using 64 bit ISO, need to use the 64 bit kernel (amd64).

Blush   Ooops, my bad....   Sick
------------------------------------

What installs and is running with IP address : 1.0 iso with 4.19.37 kernel (64 bit).  I have manually updated firmware to 1.1.4

Labels are messed up in several places, e.g. above, but I can live with it.

Installs but could not get get IP address with 1.1 iso with 4.19.37 kernel
Also installs but no IP address are 1.0 iso and 1.1 iso with the Intel network kernel in  install-4.4.9-rt17-amd64-igb-20190223.zip

Clear the browser cache (CTRL+SHIFT+F5 I think). That should fix this problem.

Don't quite understand what you're saying here. Think

the igb kernel is for another Ethernet adaptor. Your NUC should be using the e1000e driver.

The only install which worked and gave an IP address was snakeoil-x86_64-1.0.0.iso with the vmlinux from this kernel install-4.19.37-rt19-amd64-snakeoil-20190512.zip 

Install worked, but no IP address when re-booted
snakeoil-x86_64-1.1.0.iso  with the vmlinux from this kernel install-4.19.37-rt19-amd64-snakeoil-20190512.zip 
snakeoil-x86_64-1.1.0.iso  with the vmlinux from this kernel install-4.4.9-rt17-amd64-igb-20190223.zip (which is meant to have the Intel network driver)

Interesting... Can you connect a keyboard and monitor, and then run "dmesg | grep e1000" and see what turns up?

I will try and run through the install later today and see what happens on reboot.

Install always has monitor and keyboard.  Currently enjoying the music running Minimserver with Convolution with a very high tap filter.   Big Grin   And the NUC is not even a bit stressed.

Will try later, using a dual boot install and hope I do not muck it up!  (My previous history with dual boots has not been good...)
