[GUIDE] [REVIEW] No such device "/RemixOS/kernel" solution and Remix OS on Acer Switch 10

[dargi...@gmail.com]

Finally done on Acer Switch 10.
The only way to add RemixOS boot entry was adding it's bootia32.efi from 32bit version as trusted for executing in UEFI setup with SecureBoot turned on.
(i've putted it near bootx64.efi on system bootloader partition using cmd:

mountvol B: /s
B:
cd efi/remixos

copy D:\Downloads\bootia32.efi bootia32.efi

Then, when i tried to boot in RemixOS, i saw that it can't find kernel and initrd.img. Tried to change file path in grub.cfg, but didn't find how.
So i just putted it to system boot partition too.

mountvol B: /s 

B:

cd efi/remixos

copy R:\RemixOS\lernel kernel
copy R:\RemixOS\initrd.img initrd.img

(You don't need to enter first 3 commands if u didn't close cmd)

So, now i have working Remix OS, dualboot with Windows 10.

Successfully indtalled Google Play Services, but:

• Only one File Explorer window can be opened, so drag-n-drop becomes useless
• Bluetooth doesn't work
• Audio doesn't work
• Settings menu is pretty scarce
• All websites in Crome open in mobile view
• Can't change my keyboard layout to Russian (or other language)
• Touchpad works like touchscreen. but mouse.

Hope, that Jide will fix all these and start adding some tasty features.

I was having the same problem on Surface Pro 3.

Followed your guide with some changes (instead of just copy the files, I changed grub.cfg too. Configuring it to look for kernel at efi/RemixOS).

It worked and I was able to pass the screen that says 'Kernel not found".
Unfortunately, as not is as easy as it appears, now I'am stuck at the screen: "Detecting android x86..............."

As far as I was able to find on some forums, this is an error that occurs when the system can't find the image no load, in this case, the system image on c:\RemixOS.
Any clue on how to mount the correct device?

I changed cfg too, just skipped it in guide.
For anybody, who will follow it, some remarks.

You also need to change your grub.cfg using cmd.

mountvol B: /s
B:
cd efi/remixos

notepad grub.cfg

Find pathes /RemixOS/kernel and /RemixOS/initrd.img and add /EFI in the beginning to look like /EFI/RemixOS/...

And you, who stucked on detecting OS, I can't help, sorry. As i understand, it searching for remix on every drive and every partition, just try to move OS from C to other drive. Maybe it will help.

I did this but still no bootloader showing for me. It loads immediately to Windows 10 :(

I copied bootia32.efi found in efi/remixos folder in iso.

I got it to load the grub interface to choose which OS to load by bumping the trusted EFI file to the top of the boot list in the BIOS... Don't know if this makes sense to anyone or if it helps. Followed all the steps shown above. Now to wait and see if RemixOS will load or hang in the boot sequence. Using an Acer Switch 10. So far got to "detecting Android-x86 .........._"

Hello!

I'm facing the same "Kernel not found" error:

• Device: Teclast X98 3G
  
• CPU: Intel Atom Bay-Trail Z3735D (64x)
  
• RAM: 2GB
  
• Storage: 32GB (free about 10Gb)
  
• OS: Window 10 Pro 32-bit
  
• Mode boot: EFI

I have disabled secure boot and BitLocker was already disabled. I have tried to install 32-bit and 64-bit Remix OS. 64-bit Remix OS installation (from Windows) gives me error. I can istall 32-bit Remix OS with no problems. However when I select Remix OS during boot I can see this error:

• error: no such device: /RemixOS/kernel.
  
• error: file '/RemixOS/kernel' not found.
  
• error: you need to load the kernel first.
  

I have tried to install Remix OS from usb stick but the installation doesn't even start. Same situation with Android x86 RC-5.1. Is there any solution for this? I would like to install Remix OS or Android x86 5.1.

I got this to work on my Acer Switch alpha.  Thank you all your suggestions help me come up with a working solution.  I will try to create a tutorial for all other people with Acer issues installing dual boot.  Hopefully my method works for all.

What did you do to get it to work?

I'm having a bit of trouble with it myself. Could you share what you did?
