Debian 12 - Bookworm Live installer ISO for linuxcnc (x86_64)

I've rebuiilt the installer for Linuxcnc 2.9.2 on Debian 12.4 (for x86)
I have asked for this image to be deployed on the linuxcnc downloads page as part of the 2.9.2 release. In the meantime you can get it from here
drive.google.com/file/d/1nw0dGt5aZXVo8k6...zAg/view?usp=sharing

This also gets rid of the spurious raspi-firmware installation which was tricky to resolve.

Note the README.md file in the user's home folder outlines how to use the ethercat and qtpyvcp repositories included in this ISO.

There is no need for this post anymore 2.9.2 is on the linuxcnc downloads page
linuxcnc.org/downloads/

Hello,
Can i install version 2.9.2 on my old pc which only works in x86 mode?
I downloaded version 2.9.2, saved it to a flash drive with the "rufus" program, booting from the flash drive and after selecting "Graphic install" it says

"This kernel requires an x86-64 CPU, but only detected an i686 CPU. Unable to boot - please use a kernel appropriate for your CPU."

With the same flash drive, on my other computer with an x86-64 processor, the installation completed successfully.

Processor to old, try the Wheezy ISO from here:

You may be able to install Debian Bookworm from a 32 bit image on their web site but getting Linuxcnc going may be an issu. Andy's script may work but honestly you should upgrade to 64 bit hardware.

To support 32 bit hardware the installer would need to be built on a 32 bit platform and thats not going to happen on 20 + year old hardware ( have not had a 386 PC for about that long for starters)

 

tommylight, rodw - thank you for your quick reply! I understand.

I asked because the thread title says "(x86 only)".
And my old processor works exactly in this mode.
I was wondering if I was doing something wrong in the installation steps - and to find out I decided to ask in the forum.
