No wonder alphaos can't load my radeon firmware... /lib is not symlinked to /usr/lib.

please fix in v11!

tried to post in offical forum, but it is closed to new registrations

No, it doesn't get far enough to 'finish' loading, and as far as i can tell, doesn't actually change the file system any.
startx not found

interestingly when i am at initial ram disk prompt, if I run "~./init" then it finds the sendesk, senapps, sensei64_001.sfs! However after it says "copy to ram" it still leaves me at inital ram disk prompt.

Sensei files are in /Sensei64/

The light on the drive only turns on when there is activity, it blinks when kernel and initrd load, but then stop after that.

I can even mount the flash drive from the ramdisk prompt too, and am able to access files.

Mouse/keyboard only work with the newer initrd you supplied.

With the old, mouse/keyboard lights are off; can not type anything at prompt

With the new, mouse/keyboard lights are on; able to type things!

Ok so new information: Apparently my USB keyboard/mouse do work with this newer initrd.

lsmod shows that ehci_hcd is already loaded on boot, and modprobe ehci_hcd shows no errors.

I have also tried it with a 2nd generic usb thumb drive, same issues.

problem is, my keyboard and mouse are not working at ramdisk prompt either I would have to find an old OS/2 mouse/keyboard.

Yes the md5 match. I have successfully managed to boot fatdog-521, no problems, same grub entry. rmmod ehci_hcd successfully turns off my flash drive. rmmod uhci_hcd seems to turn off my keyboard/mouse... [edit] in your initrd script I see modprobe usb-common modprobe ehci-hcd modprobe ehci-pci dash...

Same error with that initrd.gz

It does seem to be the drivers not loading though, normally when searching for sfs files there are yellow dots indicating it is searching.

no such dots here. 3 white dots, then cannot find sfs.

Everything is on a USB flash drive. Strange because the x86 version loads just fine.

The high usage issue, can be replicated with stock. Just open the task manager and check option "count cache as used". Free -m shows this number by default. Since its just cache, I wonder if its normal behavior then? also md5: 57207f5ad0a062b8e87dc64c77b09293 senapps64_001.sfs 82c8237cb925...

Ok I went and installed grub2, and put kernel in /boot/Sensei64, and sfs in /Sensei64. /boot/grub/grub.cfg looks like menuentry "Sensei 64" { set root=(hd0,1) linux /boot/Sensei64/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda1 initrd /boot/Sensei64/initrd.gz } Boots and loads kernel, but still same error about no...

Ok, but the 32bit PAE boots just fine with the same syslinux.cfg...

I actually tried booting the 64bit iso with grub4dos just now, and i got the same error message.

Loading the 64bit iso in virtualbox works though...

I am using syslinux, all files are in root directory. rename to syslinux.bin and syslinux.cfg. syslinux.cfg: does not find senapps and sendesk, it says:
searching for sensei files... cannot find sensei64_001.sfs, dump to initial ram disk.

trying to boot 64bit:
loads kernel then cannot find sensei64_001.sfs

Hi simargl, would you please consider making a math package?
Like this one http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=51198 but not 3 years outdated

Yes, I use it on 64bit machines especially for school work using R,octave,xppaut, but i also use it on multiple machines. a few are 32bit sadly.

could you take a look in LXTask....and see which process is using the most RAM...under RSS. 770MB is also ridiculously high. which kernel do u like from which puppy? i presently just yanks a prebuilt kernel from another puppy...and slams it in using this procedure... I'm just wondering if that issu...

Using pfix=ram, free -m shows 770M used. That's just a default config that's loading with vesa

With 1GB save file and Radeon: 990M. using non pae because I need kernel 3.2+ for Carl 9170-fw

Btw basic install with Radeon using 990Mb ram : o
