It's set up! Finally! And memtest was already on the ISO, I didn't have to jump through hoops to get a writable boot environment, it just... wasn't in the GRUB menu for some reason?
Man idefk anymore. I'm tired. It's installed, I got the badRAM map added to the GRUB defaults and everything, I can worry about finishing everything later.
This would be a lot easier if I didn't have to worry about copying over badmem maps every time, but that's what I get for working off secondhand parts with the current Situation(tm)
I just installed grub manually and... the live image is hardcoded to use the ISO label to mount its partitions
*sob*
Huh.
Sure is Weird how some developers rushed to add age verification to linux when the bills weren't even law yet. I wonder if any of that will be rolled back now...
Guess I gotta advertise myself a little:
Do you have a task you've wanted to automate/simplify but never known how?
Does your server have an issue or improvement you've been procrastinating on?
Does your polycule, gaming group, extended family, or collective need internet infrastructure that's stable, yours, and won't break because a forced update came out?
Drop me a message! I can give advice, write solutions, host services, or train you.
I offer a humans-first approach. All technical problems are people problems first. Software should be usable, stable, and sustainable - certainly not flashy or reinvented.
Payment is simply per hour of work, plus hosting fees if applicable.
