5210R/5211R/5212R: Installation media updated
Updated ISO images, Virtual appliance and Incus images for BlueOnyx 5210R, 5211R and 5212R have been published.
We just published new BlueOnyx 5210R, 5211R and 5212R installation media that includes all updates as of today.
- New ISO images
- New Virtual appliance images (VDI & VMDK).
- New Incus/LXC Container images
The new ISO images are the result of our "Four Days of Chasing First-Boot Ghosts"-initiative which was a honest attempt to make a fresh BlueOnyx installation as close to flawless as we can technically get it.
These can be downloaded from the usual locations mentioned here.
About the ISO images:
The ISO images contain all DNF updates as of today and have been rolled up in a new fashion to make them more resilient and robust if "burned" to USB sticks. Our ISOs have some important characteristics:
- They are hybrid ISOs (BIOS + UEFI)
- They use Anaconda’s modern layout
- The installer expects a proper block-level write
- Some USB tools require special mode selection
- Always choose "DD mode", "Raw mode", or "Image mode" when offered to deploy them to USB sticks for installation on your servers.
If you use USB-Sticks as installation media:
We have a guide that explain how to install BlueOnyx while using popular USB stick bootloaders such as Ventoy, Rufus or balenaEtcher.
