Issue

When performing a Full Install of Hog OS v5.2.0 or earlier, the installer displays an error at the “Partition disks” stage that states:

Failure to create a file system.

The ext4 file system creation in partition #1 of SCS12 (0,0,0) (sda) failed.

 

Explanation of Issue

Beginning with Hog OS v5.2.1, consoles use a new hard drive partitioning scheme that is not compatible with earlier Hog OS releases.

As a result, consoles running Hog OS v5.2.1 must have their hard drive repartitioned before a Full Install of any earlier software version can be completed.

Note: This requirement applies only to Hog consoles. Hog PC systems are not affected.

 

Solution

  1. Download Hog Partition Cleaner: https://www.etcconnect.com/Hog/Documentation/

  2. Use Balena Etcher to create a bootable USB flash drive using the Partition Cleaner ISO file.

  3. Power off the console.

  4. Insert the flash drive into the console.

  5. Boot Up the console.

  6. Follow the prompts onscreen and press enter to complete the procedure.

  7. Unplug the USB flash drive.

  8. Power off the console.

  9. Plug in Full Install USB flash drive containing Hog OS v5.2.0 or older.

  10. Power on Console and proceed with Full Install of Hog OS.
