32/64bit Groovy Arcade Linux LiveCD/Install
bitbytebit:
New ISO is out for Groovy Arcade Linux version 1.563-e6c97bb.
Changes included:
* Mame 143
* Linux 3.0 Kernel
* Improved wireless network config file (might help work with more wireless networks)
* Now have Multi Media and Desktop builds, so have all the bells and whistles available, lxde desktop, chromium browser etc.
Mostly just an upgrade to the kernel and mame, didn't have time for more than that for now. The new GroovyMame forum TODO list I just created should be used to help organize ideas for the future when I have more time, can work out more rough edges that exist.

anyone having trouble using the new iso? I downloaded the iso two different times and got the same errors booting from the cd-rom. Here's a pic of the error:
EDIT: the powernow k8 error eludes to the "cool-n-quiet" feature which I enabled...but doesn't help with the errors with the red exclamation marks... and the liveCD boot process stops right there and doesn't continue :cry:
EDIT#2: I downloaded the 64-bit iso if it helps...and I also included another pic. this is the info on the screen right before I get the red exclamation marks.

It sounds like you have been messing around with BIOS settings? If so, have you confirmed that the old iso works with your new BIOS settings?
Complete shot in the dark here - but try loading the "fail safe defaults" in BIOS.

I haven't messed with my BIOS settings outside of turning on the C-N-Q.....and ver. 1.560 live CD installed fine.
The squashfs error relates to the filesystem...I tried to read up on it but it was too techy for my soft brain.
Am I the only one who has tried the new ISO?? This will go a long way to determine if the error is specific to my setup. Maybe I need to wipe the drive before I install...?? I had a brand new install of 1.560 when bitbytebit announced the new version...
EDIT: I've read this could an issue with my DVD drive. I'll post my findings after I get home and swap drives.

I have exhausted all possibilities now.
I have loaded fail-safe defaults on mobo w/v1.563- no difference
I have loaded v 1.560 with the original dvd drive - v. 1.560 boots off cd no problem
I have loaded v 1.563 with the original dvd drive - v. 1.563 halts with the squashfs - invalid loop location error
I have loaded v 1.560 with new dvd drive -v. 1.560 boots off cd no problem
I have loaded v. 1.563 with new dvd drive 0 v. 1.563 halts with the squashfs - invalid loop location error
I'll try to download the iso again...but at 35K download speeds it takes 6 hours to download :angry:
EDIT: just downloaded 32-bit version....NO DICE....same result.
re-downloaded 64-bit version for the 3rd time....same result.
FRUSTRATED....I took the 64-bit CD to another PC in my house....THE DANG THING WORKS!!!???????? :dizzy:
What could be doing this to my cab?? My mobo has a AMD 785G chipset and I'm using an AUSUS ATI 4350 (outside of the dvd drive swap, my hardware hasn't changed)
Help me Obi-Wan (bitbytebit) youre my only hope!! :timebomb:
