Hi folks :) I'm trying to test the BETA of Remix OS but I'm stuck in "Format Data Partition... ANDROID"

My secure boot is deactivated and I have a 3.0 USB.

Also, it says Failed to find cpu0 device node

What can I do?

"Failed to find cpu0 device node" is not the reason for failed booting, I get this message too but can start without any issue.
Did you try to start in guest mode?

EDIT: from other thread: "boot with DEBUG=1 on the grub menu "

Possible solution...

Hi dude.

I think that you did what i did...

Probably you run disk dump from a RemixOs image to a secundary HDD. (I did this to a mistake, with sdb and sdc sux!!)

So I discovery that the Android X86 built in Remix OS check a kind of MBR sector in the HDD, so even if you format and create a new partition, the trash left by the oldest Remix OS disk dump still there...

Try to do this:

Check your start sector with fdisk /dev/sdX and list the partitions.

Erase the first sectors with this command:

sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1048064 count=1 (Mine starts with 2048, so I erase the first 2047 sectors: 2047 * 512 = 1048064)

Of Course this broke my partition, which I had recover with testdisk

Solved with fat32 partition

I'm sure this thread is long since ignored now but I found myself having this problem today and the only fix was installing remix to a 25gb fat32 partition, worked like a charm, even though it gives you the option for ntfs and exfat, this ultimately fixed it
