It is possible in booting with a live CD, that something got put on sda1. One option, on first shutdown, is to have the Puppy sfs file copied to hard drive, so the CD boot gets it from the faster hard drive, to make booting faster. I would look over sda1 and make sure no Slacko files are there. Yes...

Sorry for the huge amount of spelling-mistakes in my last post, I should not write that late at night. :( copy - highlight item. paste - click middle mouse button. Thanks alot! There must have been a solution to this :) I wish you had told us all that info about the CF card slot in the beginning. I ...

Well, I forgot to mention that the slacko5.3.3 install still gives the same fault

ay be some kind of support issue with the atahd controller in this computer. Try an install of a different version of Puppy. Wary 5.3 Lucid 5.2.8.005 I was thinking the same! Therefore I've installed wary5.3 (.iso from 04/04/12) in a second folder on sda2 'wary' and copied the two paragraphs in the...

Results: * Deleting the save-file dos not alter anything * A file-system-check with gparted gave positive results, everything fine. I have attached a screenshot of the device-info-box. Maybe this helps. I once read (in context of Ubuntu installation), the boot-partition should not be further away fr...

Our posts were crossing again hang-on I'll try your last tips!

@bigpup: I had not seen your Posting before submitting my last post.

I tried your last suggestions -> boot fails again with the same screen exept: 'pausing' in

pausingpuppy_slacko_5.3.3.sfs not found. Dropping to initial-ramdisk console

dos not shop up.

hm....

What I did: * download the .iso again * check md5-checksums * replace the vmlinuz, intrid.gz, puppy_slacko_5.3.3.sfs * rename folder to 'slacko' (as suggested) * modifiy menu.lst, update foldername The boot-process still fails at the same point, same fault! Same screens... Could there be something w...

I tried both of your suggestions, the abrupt stop while booting remains. For further information i took two Screenshots: * screen1 pops up straight after the grub4dos-menu and stays for about 10-15sec (strange!) * screen2 is the fault-message after puppy starts "booting". My current menu.l...

Hello, I am facing a boot Problem I can't handle myself. I am trying to set up am small Workshop-PC on basis of a FSC Futuro S400 ThinClient. The machine runs on a small 5GB HDD (Microdrive). The HDD ist is split up in two Partitions. Partition1 (sda1, 4GB) is NTFS-formatted and contains a minimal W...

Update:
Booting my system without pupsafe.2fs-file gave me a OOTB-Wary without any Sound-Problems. So I'll just start reconfiguring and saving in a brand-new pupsafe-file.

Sorry for bothering You! Your help is much appreciated!

best regards,
rolle
