Remix OS kernel parameter list... ?

[mediawiz]

Is there a list somewhere (that I could access) of the Android kernel command line (boot) parameters that are supported by the RemixOS kernel???

I am trying to get the latest build (207) to boot on my Intel i5 tablet. I fould that with the lastest build, I was about to boot RemixOS (for PC) from a USB driver. However, when I tried to install it to my UEFI based Inel i5 tabet, the install failed.

I see to have this UEFI related problem with all Androidx-86 based OSs. I was about about to get Android-x86 6.0 to boot by copying the files from the ISO to a folder on my hard drive, installing the Grub2Win EFI boot loader files, and manually creating a "Grub.cfg" file.

I tried this same method with RemixOS (for PC), but the kernel command line parameters in the RemixOS build of the Android kernel seem to be different than Android-x86, and the parameters using in the USB Grub config file don't seem to translate directly to a hard drive install.

In lieu of that, perhaps someone could provide me with the text from the Grub config file on their hard drive install of RemixOS (for PC) ???

I was able to get it to boot by adding CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 to the boot parameters.
The kernel then creates a data.img and proceeds to boot. At least, it did for me.
Hope that helps.

Hi

Ive just managed to get RemixOS installed on my Dell Inspiron 11 it has Win10, Fedora24,Manjaro, Deepin and a couple of other distros I was checking out all coexisting, booting on UEFI and sharing a 300GB Data partition. Now I swapped out Elementary and a CLI Arch and put in Remix it all seems to work pretty good, I have tested WiFi, bluetooth, Camera, Google Play, USB, The bluetooth seems at least as solid as the best linux distros Ive tried and way better than Windows 10.

I first burnt the ISO (Remix_OS_for_PC_Android_M_64bit_B2016112101) onto a USB stick
Then booted from the stick and edited the boot script to add INSTALL=1 to the end of the Linux Command.
This fires up the Android_x86 installer. I installed it onto a partition I prepared for it (Ext4 29GB).
I told it to format the partition and said no to both the grub installs and chose a readwrite system.
It ran without error and I rebooted into Fedora24 that has grub2 and grub-customizer.
That is my goto grub, it has menu items for all my installed distros.
I tried the OS-Probe generated script which failed but was useful because it had the UUID of my partition.
Then its a bit of trial and error but eventually it booted.
That first boot seems to take forever, but after a times it seems to be booting much quicker.
Here is the script fragment that works the best so far (I have Replaced my Partition number and UUID with (hdX, GPTXX) and XX respectively:

set root='(hdX,GPTXX)'
search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set=root XX
linuxefi /kernel initrd=/initrd.img root=UUID= XX androidboot.hardware=remix_x86_64 androidboot.selinux=permissive quiet SRC= DATA= CREATE_DATA_IMG=1 REWRITE=1
initrdefi /initrd.img


I thought I had downloaded 207 but now im not so sure, Remix just said it had an update to build 207 but didnt recommend updating because it detected I had installed with an unapproved installer.

Really appreciate your help!! XD I was trying to find that boot parameter edit to get back to that setup page!! The boot parameter INSTALL=1!! Thank you for your help!! XD
