Hello, I am trying to install the Acid distribution of Allstar. The computer is a ACER Aspire M1202-U1850A Desktop PC - AMD Athlon LE-1640 2.6GHz, 2GB DDR2, 320GB HDD, DVDRW. During installation everything seems fine until the computer restarts and then ask to remove media after that the computer will freeze at yum-updatesd after a while it will tell me that I have no internet connection. Now to be honest I am new to Linux. I did install Centos 6 as a test and it had internet also I install a copy of debian and it also had internet. I do have a IRLP node that I wish to convert over to allstar. Could you please point me in the right direction for installation? I ordered a usb sound fob and also an pci parallel port. The port being for the irlp board ver 3. Thanks for your time and help. KG7CHJ 40775
Its been awhile since I installed acid from the CD. I usually do it manually anymore. As I remember setting a static IP in the installation would often screw up. You might want to let it go DHCP and then change to static after the install. Unless that is what you are already doing. If your local router DHCP server is working it should get an internet connection. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: barrett1179@gmail.com To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Date: Mon, 14 Apr 2014 18:25:06 -0700 Subject: [App_rpt-users] Acid install help Hello, I am trying to install the Acid distribution of Allstar.

I'm having the same difficulty only with a Gigabyte board. Looks like the ACID CD does not have the correct driver for the NIC. After the reboot, it tells me the cable is not connected, yet the lights at both ends of the connectors are working. (Sigh!)

For both of you, I would suggest that if you have a USB ethernet dongle try to install with it installed. - That is the easiest solution that I use for network adapters that are not supported by the ACID install CD. Sincerely, Mark KC5EVE At 01:43 AM 4/15/2014, Bob wrote:

I've seen this with several computers that I have installed the software (ACID - XIPAR) on. What I do is take a NIC card and temporarily install it while loading the box. It seems that the installs always see the add-on NIC and gets past the install. Then you simply remove the added NIC and go forward. YMMV Kevin Custer
I finally received a reply from the board manufacture who said to boot from bios for the lan... it worked. The load is up and running. Now on to my next level of troubleshooting.
