Hive OS install failed, ntfs-3g unable to mount inexistant volume

[Luderic]

Hello,

When trying to install Hive OS on a SSD (60 GB), i get an error after the Hive OS image has been copied to it.

It seems that the HiveFlash utility is copying the HiveOS image on the /dev/sda (which is the SSD), then try to access the disk on the /dev/sda1 partition, and failing.

As far as I know, there is no such partition on the disk. “blkid” and “fdisk -l” seems to acknowledge this.

I tried to different disk formats : no partition, NTFS, RAW… also tried MBR and GPT without more results. I even tried to install it on an USB stick.

The BIOS is properly configured as required : CSM, booting on legacy mode…

The HiveOS flash utility is hive-flasher-20180910.img, and the HiveOS image is hiveos-0.6-190-stable-210108.img

At this point, I don’t know if the disk has to be partitioned a special way to install HiveOS on it. If it is the case, which partitioning and how should it be done?

Does anyone could help me troubleshoot this please?

Thanks,

Luderic

Hello,

Sorry I thought i had answered this topic.

It seems that the how-to guide on the Hive Flasher Github page (GitHub - minershive/hive-flasher: Hive OS Drive Flashing Utility) is deprecated. This is not how we should install HiveOS.

I solved this by downloading the hiveOS image, then burn it directly on a usb/ssd by using BalenaEtcher (or Rufus). No need to use Hive Flasher here, you only need the hiveOS image here

Happy mining
