Re: [gNewSense-users] Can not launch gNewSense 4 on Asus eee pc 1001HA netbook

[renaud]

Hi, i take note for lut.im, thank you.

i tried to add the "mem=xxx" param (exemple "mem=2147483648" for 2GB 
RAM) on differents computers but it never resolved the problem.

To respond to Narcis Garcia, i tried to start the gNewSense 4 i386 live 
CD on these computers :

- Desktop computer with Asrock N3150B-ITX motherboard with 64-bit 2.1 
GHZ Intel quad core processor and 8GB RAM running Debian 8.4.
- netbook Asus eee PC 1001HA with 32-bit Intel N270 1.6 GHZ single core 
processor and 2GB RAM running gNewSense 3.1.
- netbook HP Pavilion 10-e001sf with 64-bit AMD 1GHZ dual core A4 
processor and 2GB RAM running Trisquel 7.
- notebook HP compaq NX6125 with 32-bit AMD Sempron 1.8 GHZ single core 
processor and ~ 1.2 GB RAM running Trisquel 7.

Always the same error message visible on the photos

I will retry to burn the iso file to a new USB key and also to a DVD.
