Detecting Android-x86............................................................................................

[Luke Tucker]

Today i finally got to expand my data partition to 34gb to use my hdd to the fullest. I installed remix os on this hdd through a hard drive enclosure that puts ide to usb. after installing and expanding my data partition i messed with it a little, putting google services and a few apps on it and then i turned it off and plugged the hdd into my computer via the ide cable. now when i try to boot it everything goes fine until it tries to find android-x86. when it shows that the dots just keep going and it never detecta android-x86 to boot remix. any help?

no idea without more info on your machine. But if you have an ATI or Nvidia card that is more than likely your problem.

[Luke Tucker]

My bad I do have an ati card though.
Intel core 2 duo @2.8 and a Asus p5ql mobo. But why would that be the problem if it booted perfectly fine when it booted from the hard drive via USB?

Hi Luke. Could you post a screen shot of the partition on your computer where the Remix OS files are installed?

[Luke Tucker]

Like from the file explorer in windows?

[BrainyRabbit]

Yes!

[Luke Tucker]

I can provide a screenshot a bit later as I'm not home at the moment. I do know that the only folders on the remix HDD are grub and android-(the build date). Did you want pictures of each of the folders?

Hi, something like this and to you, it should also look like that : https://00126526452343278407.googlegroups.com/attach/3f985df74830a/Screenshot%20(5).jpg?part=0.1&view=1&vt=ANaJVrH4kRmRsDvb2-I5G2hRrZE71T4R2L73ytmpgTjeeL1lxKy-Wiq9IXrN5z50kpMsTEkipULbfeR3zYs6Oj6BaCJhrCNfgwW2iXY5uyC68WQqybRurcE

[Luke Tucker]

is this correct? what should i do with it now?

[BrainyRabbit]

Hi. Read the following link from top to bottom : https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/remix-os-for-pc/M2JbxEvFeqo . Tell me if it worked or not!

[Luke Tucker]

i read it but i'm not familiar with easybsd. i didn't even know where to find it at first. can you tell me how to use it?

[BrainyRabbit]

Hi. Read this link:http://www.techdroider.com/2016/01/guide-how-to-dual-boot-remix-os.html.

its happened to me once I found .DLL file in the next to remix os files I deleted then its boot ok

[Luke Tucker]

That looks like it could definitely work tanks

[imad-pe]

it was the DLL was it?

[Luke Tucker]

there is no .dll on the hard drive

[Luke Tucker]

well it seems to have worked but now i can't get past the GRUB bootloader. what commands need to be typed?

[datin...@gmail.com]

Hi , sorry my english not good . Can i install remix-os-for-pc on i686 system (My old machine) . ?

Đoàn Hiếu, you require the 32bit
Not saying it'll work though!!
and you've hijacked this thread

[Luke Tucker]

I'm stuck at the grub bootloader where commands need to be typed now

[daniald...@gmail.com]

hi Luke , i am DInesh ,i also faced problome like you
but i think i have solution might work

at the time of installation, when it will show "Detecting Android-x86..............................................."
if your installing from pendrive

AT THAT TIME REMOVE YOUR PENDRIVE AND INSERT AGAIN INSTANTLY..

then it will detect android.

The OS itself is fine. Looks like your motherboard's IDE/SATA is not supported (probably missing driver). In such case it can boot until the point the BIOS hands over the control of the IDE devices to the kernel, upon which the kernel lost access to it due to it couldn't bring up a driver for your motherboard's IDE and it stuck there endlessly.

You'll have to stick with running it using a USB enclosure for now, as in most cases USB will work regardless. The kernel needs to have working driver (module) for your chipset's IDE/SATA interfaces in order to detect your hard drives...

[Luke Tucker]

Thanks for the best answer on this thread haha. Do you know if there's a modified kernel/grub that has drivers for it or will I have to wait?

[LSS]

You'll need to find some information about your motherboard's chipset and what drivers the onboard IDE/SATA use for Linux if you need help on booting it off a hard drive directly connected to it instead of using a USB enclosure. However, given the fact that RemixOS is mainly meant to be run from a high speed USB device which is almost always supported, rather than actually installing it on a hard drive, this issue may not be a high priority.

I faced same issue.  My issue was due to USB hub.  Android is detected in a few seconds if USB is inserted directly.
