Music server with Snakeoil-os, Minimserver and Linn DS

@bobzy also....  another question:  how did you get Snakeoil OS to see the LAN ports (Intel i210AT) on the Supermicro X10SBA-L?   I'm not able to....

Snakeoil OS's secret is it's stripped down kernel. This kernel is pretty much bare metal and only supports the hardware listed in the documentation.

Anything outside those will require a special kernel. Go here and download the I210 install kernel. Replace that kernel on your boot USB and it will work fine. You can also copy and rename the kernel directly into your installed \boot folder and everything should work also.

@agent_kith so I downloaded and unpacked "install-4.4.9-rt17-i686-igb-20190223.zip "
and tried both ways

• copy and rename to the installed SSD - but got an error message at boot
  
• followed this support page
  https://www.snakeoil-os.net/Manual/advan...l-snakeoil
  

ie: straight replacing vmlinuz on the USB install disk then booting (and planning to reinstall) from that, but got the same error



Apology in advance here, I may be that nightmare target market for Snakeoil support-- someone who knows just enough command line to be dangerous yet is pretty much worthless otherwise
(and I also realize this is the wrong sub forum for this support issue)

thanks
