Hello,
I am trying to install XBMCUbuntu on my laptop.
It is a HP Touchsmart tx2z-1300 CTO (64-bit) with an AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Mobile RM-75 processor.
I am unable to run lspci as I can't boot into linux but Device Manager identifies the wireless card as Broadcom 802.11g as previously stated.
I am trying to do a usb install using Linux Live USB Creator to make the usb key.
I tested the installer on another laptop and it works fine.
Here's what I've tried so far:
1. Install using version xbmcbuntu-12.2.Intel-AMD.iso
- It fails with this message:
[22.848638] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
2. I then attempted a live boot with the same version
- It fails with this message:
[22.848638] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode15.fw" not found.
[22.848638] b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43-open/ucode15.fw" not found.
[22.848638] b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Driv...cefirmware and download the correct firmware for this driver version.
- I tried to follow the Ubuntu/Debian solution but because I'm unable to boot I can't run "sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer" as suggested.
3. I attempted both an install and a live boot with xbmcbuntu-12.00-RC3.AMD.iso but only achieved the same results.
4. I also attempted both an install and a live boot with xbmcbuntu-12.2.Intel-AMD.iso using a DVD instead. This seemed to get further but still did not work.
- The install fails with:
[22.848638] Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt
[22.848638] Shutting down cpus with NMI
- The live boot doesn't give any error. It displays * starting XBMC live CD installer, then * stopping XBMC job starter twice, and goes black.
I can't get to the installer or run XBMCbuntu live off the usb.
Searched the forums and google for info but everything I found assumed that linux would boot, wireless just wan't working.
I have pictures of all of this if that would help.
I think what I need to do is manually insert the firmware into the .iso before I make the bootable usb but I am very confused about how to do that.
I am new to linux so I apologize if I'm doing something wrong or making a stupid mistake.
Any help/advice/guidance would be greatly appreciated!
