If you put all of your commands in a file, and make the file executable,<br>
then use: sudo ./someTestFile.sh, the commands will work (they do for me.)<br>
<br>
Don't put the sudo in front of the commands in the file.<br>
<br>
Also, there are/were some boards that needed to have hpet disabled.<br>
<br>
For *buntu, this is done in /etc/default/grub and look for a line like:<br>
<br>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="<u></u>quiet splash"<br>
<br>
and change it to:<br>
<br>
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="<u></u>quiet splash hpet=disabled"<br>
<br>
Then you must do: sudo update grub and reboot the machine in order<br>
for it to take affect. Truthfully, I still do this and don't know<br>
if newer kernels have fixed the bug that required it.<br>
<br>
I know I *had* to do this in the past in order to have this work.<br>
It's documented on the Wiki (near the bottom if I recall.)<span class=""><font color="#888888"><br>
