Thank you for this guys! Good job!

I tried Puppy2alpha, kernel 2.6.16.7 according to /proc/version

Unfortunately, the centrino speedstep is not implemented properly:
the processor runs at the highest clock all the time

For comparison, there is no problem here under Ubuntu with kernel 2.6.15.

Chechenpuppy, as far as I know the only Puppy versions that use the Linux 2.6 kernel are 1.0.4 and the latest Puppy2 alpha. I've been using Puppy2 alpha on a multisession DVD for over a month now and it has been very stable. Unfortunately, the iso downloads of 1.0.7 which I tried where all with 2.4...

The fastest CF cards are in general 3-5 times slower than the fastest USB sticks in terms of the information transfer rate.

OK, the problem is solved (thanks to MU). I am back.

I think "Puppy Foundation" could try to rise some money for development by offering fast booting USB sticks like those by Geil and Buffalo. :idea: I actually had an opportunity to speak with Geil managers at the Cebit exhibition in Germany, and they have confirmed that they produce one of ...

ChechenPuppy, Hey I would guess If you are proud of your work the put it in "puppy power" I haven't done much of work with Puppy to be proudly presented. I just would like to add my hardware to the tested puppy hardware list, with a few comments on what I have actually tested. My laptop i...

and *whoooosch* it is fast as hell

It's interesting. Would you please tell how fast it is now, and how many rpm-s has your external disk?

I would like to submit information about my laptop (PM dothan generation) working well under different Puppies. Where should I email or post it?

I find my new Kingston DataTraveler 2 USB drive won't boot either, so that's another one for the list The reason could be that this particular USB drive (not all by Kingston) is rather slow. Check my thread for more details: http://www.murga.org/~puppy/viewtopic.php?t=8033 As a result, BIOS does no...

I tried also to boot from my external USB cdrom puppy2alpha. It finishes in kernel panic. However, the progress is that the external usb device is explicitly recognized! However, after it is recognized, the system writes: TEMPORARY HACK, sleeping for another 50 seconds (dev forum t=138) ... Loading ...

Guys, the capability is there in Puppy, it is up to you to provide information. Look at: /lib/libhardware/usb.db You need to provide chip numbers and what module is required. You can get the chip numbers from "Control panel -> Hardware probe". May the proper additions to this file also he...

So I am, can't boot from the external USB cdrom...

I have problem with booting from external usb cdrom.
Just posted a question about it.

Anyways

Unfortunately, I don't have info about your stick and it is not that easy to find this information by googling. In principle, it can be measured using the windows program HDtune but I don't know how accurate it is. I am getting lower values than expected if I use it to benchmark my GEIL USB stick. T...

Though Puppy (kernel 2.4.29) works on one of my machines (there is still something to fix but it's a different issue) I cannot boot it on my notebook (sonoma platform hardware) from the external USB CDROM (Asus SCB-2424v-u). The messages I receive are: looking for usr_cram on the CD... Uniform CD-RO...

After reading a bit from various Puppy sites, I have an impression that the issue of the SPEED of various USB sticks was not addressed yet. I have done some research about the available USB sticks in order to find those which I could expect to boot the fastest. The information transfer rate of vario...

Hi everybody! So, it will be my first post here. I am writing it using Puppy! Finally it worked also for me and it feels gresomeat! There are so many beautiful concepts inside this little but powerful distro! I am truly impressed and feel that I have to pay back to the Community somehow. There are s...
