ghe stores the memory check at /usr/local/share/enterprise/ghe-preflight-check (at least for the version im looking at), you can change it here to bypass the check if its too much :P
basically what needs to be done:
- extract the tarball (
export GHE_UPGRADE=1; ./<pkg file path> -xor like this) - on a blank disk:
- create a gpt
- create one small partition (maybe 8mb?) with bios_grub (or something like this) set and a larger ext4 (maybe ext2 is more correct?) one
- extract the tarball to the root of the larger partition
- install grub using a chroot - this is helpful
- change the uuid of the disk to whatever ghe is expecting:
tune2fs /dev/<device> -U <uuid>(might need to do a checkdisk first, it tells you how to do that if so) - boot it and hope that it does something
given that github seems really happy to take down archives of their older versions i would really want to download every old upgrade pacakge (they've already taken down the files that you just boot in a machine and don't have to do this bs), if only so that old versions of github can be somewhat properly preserved
kind of annoying that you can't just ... you know ... download the old versions.
