Hi, when I tried to install the latest turnkey on a self builded computer with silicon raid I get this error message when I start up the installer. first its loading and second I get this.
What you have there is known as a "kernel panic". A kernel panic is caused by some sort of kernel/driver and hardware incompatibility. The real cause can be a multitude of different things and troubleshooting is a major PITA. Basically a kernel panic is the equivalent of a Windows BSOD. The causes can range from faulty hardware through buggy BIOS and on to driver and/or kernel bugs.
The first thing I would try is to see if the Live mode works. If that's the case then my guess is either a kernel option (that the install uses that the live mode doesn't) or hardware incompatibility (such as your RAID controller).
Beyond that, I am not really an expert with this sort of thing but there are 2 approaches that I would consider. Actually it might even pay to do both... One is to remove/swap out hardware as much as you can until (hopefully) it works. The other (or additional) approach is try different OS versions. E.g. try TurnKey v13.0 &/or v14.1; vanilla Debian Wheezy (base of v13.0)/Jessie (base of v14.x)/Stretch (current Debian testing); Ubuntu 14.04/15.04/15.10/upcoming 16.04; perhaps even other OS such as Arch etc too?!
Either way the goal is to isolate the piece of hardware and/or the kernel/OS version/configuration that is the causing the issue. From there you can try to see if there might be some workaround or configuration option that will resolve the issue.
no one?
no one?
Apologies on delayed response...
