plz identify the processor by name etc, probably of the top of it
after cleaning off the heat sink compound, which you'll have to
replace before re-attaching the heat sink. And there are better heat
sink compounds today that what came on that as OEM. W/o that info,
most of us will be confused by the attempted cross breeding of
architectures. <br>

memory on the m-Sata drive. Attached is the log file. I have been testing
installation on a flash drive. Thru key combinations I could briefly see a
login prompt. I moved the flash drive to a pc and using the
raspberry-config, changed it to boot to a command line instead of the GUI.
By doing this I could get to the log file, which is attached. Thanks all.
P.S. I was able to successfully run AntiX on this machine, but I really
prefer the Rpi environment.

I am somewhat confused. Raspberry Pi's are ARM processor based, not
x86/x86_64 based. I *think* you want the LXDE desktop environment, which is
the default desktop environment that ships with Raspberry Pi OS.
