LinuxCNC Install using MX Linux 19.4 - Geared Toward New Users - Discussion

EDIT:  the above is a result of changes to the Mesaflash install steps.

The install guide has been updated, but you can find the latest instructions here:  github.com/LinuxCNC/mesaflash#readme

Follow the "Quickstart:" section.

I am giving this a shot to replace the Debian 11 install I was playing with previously. After going through the complete installation, removing the USB drive and clicking Finish the machine fails to reboot, I tried several times with the same result, it just loads the bios screen says no OS is on the drive.

This is on the newest version of the Source Forge link in the guide, MX 21.2? wildflower?

Should be this link:

sourceforge.net/projects/mx-linux/files/...9.4_x64.iso/download

Ok I will give it a shot tonight.

Thanks for the help.

The link I provided actually was the same one in the document. On my phone, it takes me to the .iso you mentioned. On the computer it takes me to the correct download. So I added a warning to that page.

I also re-chunked all of the documents so steps should be correct and the python alternatives stuff is removed.

Let me know if you have any other snafus.

Enable CMS, disable UEFI, disable "secure boot", all in BIOS, try again. Might work without the need to reinstall.
