Acer Aspire Revo R3610 no IP Address upon bootup

Hi, please refer to the install kernel thread on the custom Nvidia NIC kernel: Link. Instructions on what to do is also in there.

Thx.

Hi,

I've used WinIso to open the 64bit image of SnakeOil OS, rename that vmlinuz file under the casper folder and then add in the new amd64 nvidia kernel then burned it to DVD and also tried on USB. My images won't boot at all, even if I extract the boot image with winiso and add it to the new iso build. If I take your original SnakeOil OS image and burn it to DVD, it boots up fine. 

I've tried about 10 DVDs but nothing would do, even with different burner software. I even started to boot the SnakeOil OS until grub menu shows up, then swap the CD but then I get a grub386 error message that it cannot find specific files. I've also checked a few tutorials...

It seems it does not like me to change the structure of the ISO file.

Thanks

Yup, depending on the application changing the structure of the ISO file will inadvertently destroy the boot loader. For custom install kernels to work it's best to work with USB sticks. Just follow these instructions here outlined in the install kernel thread.

The key is to write the original ISO to USB first. That will write the bootloader correctly, once that is done you can replace the kernel with the new one.

I havn't done so myself, You should in theory be able to do this with optical media (use CDR instead as the ISO should fit well into a 700MB medium). Write the original ISO out to CD, but don't close the media. Because the media is not closed you can continue to modify the contents. Then all you need to do is overwrite the original kernel with the new one..

Hope this clarifies a few things.. I'd update the manual with this information also later this week.
